Ready to Work Creatively Whether Our Organization Likes It Or Not | Dare to Be Ready Live at #IMSH2026

Chris Roussin reacts to Tania Katan Keynote Lecture at #IMSH2026 on The Dare to Be Ready Podcast “You need to be different from the status quo to make change.” What does it mean to be called to innovate and work creatively in an organization that is ready and asking for it, versus in an organization that isn’t?

Some organizations have leadership that is passionate about quickly squashing creativity. How do we help people to create change and create readiness in a new way without it feeling like we’re launching it at them from a consultant helicopter as we fly away?

Some advice from the talk that verged away from rah-rah and into the practical that we really liked: 1) Think about a limitation that you have at work, and consider how that limitation could actually be an opportunity for you; 2) Say what your job title is and then imagine a job title more accurate and appropriate to what you do.

More live reactions from Jenny Rudolph, Roxane Gardner, and Grace Ng coming in the next few days!
