Patrick Mosher argues leaders facing massive societal change need an "evolution mindset" beyond simple change management. Three core traits: claim the identity of evolution expert, trust past adaptations to handle future changes, and adopt "the universe is perfect" logic to reframe setbacks as necessary learning. This regenerates leaders and their communities.

Here's an even more important question. You, as in the significant impact, are a leader. So you're also helping your community, people in your community, through their great transition as well, in their conscious evolution as well. And so how are you playing that role as a leader? So, and that's probably where people are feeling tired, you know, a lot of people are feeling tired, but also leaders are getting tired. You're probably getting tired and exasperated and Oh, you feel your emotional dulling happening too. Hmm, we got to talk about how to revive that, and that's what we're going to talk about in the next few minutes here because that is so important to all of us. So first of all, you got to have an evolution mindset. This isn't a transition mindset, it's not a change management mindset, an evolution mindset. So much bigger because Folks, this isn't going to stop. This evolution is not going to stop. We have 7 billion people. When I was born, when I was born, there were 3 billion people on the planet. There's 7.3 billion now. We've doubled it in my lifetime. This isn't going to stop, folks. So we have to build the tools, those evolution tools, to regenerate, rejuvenate, and re-energize ourselves. And I'll say this, you are an evolution expert because you're here, because you're in here in the Significant Impact Community. You chose this. So let's talk about the mindset. First of all, you have to accept and say to yourself, I am an evolution expert. I'm an evolutionary expert. Oh, not a revolutionary, an evolutionary expert. You are because you've done the work. You're here. The second one, you have the confidence to figure stuff out. You've been through so many changes. We're going to get to that in a second too about we've been through so many changes and you're here. You're You're alive, you're kicking, you're positive, you've joined this community, you can breathe. Yes, you've figured stuff out to this point. You're gonna be able to figure stuff out from here going forward. So that's awesome, that's the second piece. The third part of the mindset is what I call the universe is perfect logic. First of all, I believe the universe is perfect. My view of it isn't perfect. My slice of it doesn't look perfect. But there's a vast machine going on called the universe, and it is perfect. So when things get bad, I remind myself that the universe is perfect. And that means that if the universe is perfect, wherever I am, whenever I am, and I step into that, woof, I'm in the perfect place. Right now I'm in the perfect place. I'm in the perfect place. I have the perfect skills. Everything is aligned in this moment to be perfect. If I just sink into that now, that present moment, things are perfect. May not feel perfect, may not look perfect. I may not be able to see perfection in the moment, but maybe in 5 years I'll see the perfection of this moment. Even if it's a grand failure, I'll be able to go like, oh, that's why I failed, because I needed those learnings for the next big success. That's my logic of the perfect universe, is that, wow, this is perfect, I'm where I need to be. So just put all my superpowers, all my significant story, all my, my activated network, my life mission on the table right now, and it will serve perfectly. I don't always live into that as well as I could. But that's one of my mindsets of being an evolutionary expert. Yeah, because I'm always in the right place at the right time doing the right things. Whoo, hard to accept that sometimes, but that's the truth for me. So those are the mindsets of an evolutionary, of an evolutionary
