Executive Reinvention with Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva, founder of the Reinvention Academy and seasoned corporate executive, joins Elizabeth to unpack what it really means to reinvent, personally, professionally, and organizationally. In a world where 1 in 5 companies now reinvents faster than the annual budget cycle, change is no longer a one-time event. It’s a continuous, strategic capability that separates the organizations that thrive from the ones that disappear.
You’ll explore:
- Why the old rules of episodic change no longer work
- The psychological contract leaders must rewrite to reduce resistance
- How “kill parties” and micro-experiments can re-energize teams
- The critical difference between reinvention, innovation, and change
- What executives often miss about political intelligence and business modelling
To start building your reinvention capability, visit Dr. Nadya’s website and subscribe to Nadya’s “Reinvention Weekly” newsletter. You can also download her full digital book The Chief Reinvention Officer Handbook: How to Thrive in Chaos.
