Episode 64: Being more like bees with Siobhan McHale

To bee or not to bee. That is the question.

Siobhan McHale—author, influencer and change leader—has the answer.

To be the best humanity can be, we should be more like bees.

How can that be?

The hive mind is key. Embracing this bee-like way of being can help us solve the biggest challenges we face as humans.

We'll be a lot better off if we can learn to follow the LENS model of bee behavior:

🐱 Look beyond current circumstances

🐱 Experiment with changes on a small scale

🐱 Nudge the system towards change

🐱 Strengthen the emerging change

Siobhan does such a brilliant job explaining how this framework elevates our Group Intelligence (GQ)—the newest form of observable intelligence that can help us transcend the seemingly impossible.

It's helped the bees pull of one of the world's most amazing comeback stories—adding more than 1 million colonies in the US alone from 2017 through 2022.

Imagine what it can do for us.

I also can't help telling you about my site and my Substack newsletter—check 'em out if you can. I'm on a mission to make work suck less and I'd love for you to join me. Want to make that desuckification happen ASAP? Let's set up a free half hour coaching session.

Bye, everyone!
