The Inner Game of Change

Hello, and welcome to this special episode of The Inner Game of Change.

Today’s episode is deeply meaningful, as it features a conversation with the remarkable Carol Sanford. Carol has been a pioneer of Regenerative Thinking for over four decades, helping entrepreneurs and executives transform their businesses responsibly and meaningfully. Her work has left an indelible mark on so many lives and organisations.

It is with a heavy heart that I share that Carol is now in transition out of this world, as shared by her son Mark 2 days ago. Despite the challenges of her illness, Carol was determined to share her thoughts and wisdom with me and all of you. During the recording, it was not easy for her to continue speaking, and after around 20 minutes, we had to bring the conversation to a close as she had given all she could in that moment.

This episode is a testament to Carol's unwavering commitment to sharing her insights, even in the face of immense difficulty. I invite you to listen closely as she shares her thoughts on her models, philosophies, and the profound lessons she has spent a lifetime teaching.

This is a tribute to Carol’s incredible legacy. May her courage, ideas, and spirit continue to inspire us all as we honour her remarkable journey.

I am grateful that Carol has agreed to have a chat with me.
About Carol
I launched two Startups, ran and sold them. I then turned to teaching and educating businesses globally growing them rapidly, by double digits, all the while making work meaningful and fun. From the beginning (1980), I embedded Regenerative Thinking into decision making and action-taking. Never a sidebar to everything else. I wrote case-story-based books about these experiences to inspire and instruct others. I speak from this deep history of educating Executives and Entrepreneurs to innovate and grow their businesses responsibly. For over four decades, I have worked with great leaders of successful businesses such as Google, DuPont, Intel, P&G, Seventh Generation. NOT A COACH OR CONSULTANT!
