In this episode of ‘On Being Human,’ Eveline and Rob delve deep into the concept of progress with guest Sue. They challenge traditional views, drawing parallels with nature and life experiences. Sue shares her perspective on internal and external growth, using personal anecdotes from her Arctic expeditions and leadership coaching. The conversation also touches on the importance of finding joy in the present moment and the hidden growth that happens beneath the surface. Two poems, ‘The Patience of Ordinary Things’ by Pat Schneider and ‘The Gardener’ by Mary Oliver, serve as reflective pieces, encouraging listeners to reconsider their relationship with progress and find contentment in simple, everyday experiences.
