In this brief YouTube dialogue, Speaker A expresses gratitude for insights that address a common obstacle in succession planning: senior managers often resist engaging in succession planning because they feel overwhelmed and operate in a "survival mode" that limits forward‑looking activities. Speaker B acknowledges the point, offers to share information about the "Conscious Future Spiral" framework, which helps individuals recognize the cyclical nature of moving up and down in awareness and grants them grace in the process. The exchange also sparks the idea of turning the discussion into a LinkedIn newsletter to share these observations with a broader professional audience.

This is so helpful. Thank you. I'm finding with a lot of senior managers that they are incredibly reluctant to do any form of succession planning because many of them feel overwhelmed and they're in that survival mode. So they're not able to or not prepared to move beyond that. So this— you've just given me a very nice topic for a nice newsletter that must go back into LinkedIn. Thank you.
Great. Thanks, Trudy. I'll send you information about the Conscious Future Spiral as well because it does help to see that and it gives us ourselves the grace as well, knowing that we move up and down, um, then we can see that with other people. Thank you.
