need for control

I hear on social media and all over the place that we should “Let go of control! Trust the journey! Trust the process! Trust the universe!” And I bet you have heard it too.

This always makes me think this, though: “Yeah! I would be happy to do it, but can you please tell me HOW to actually do it?”

So, in this episode, I want to brainstorm with you and discuss why we want to control things and how we can actually let go of it to take charge of our lives instead.

EPISODE BREAKDOWN:

• [02:58] Let’s let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore: control
• [04:04] Understanding the need for control
• [05:55] When things (inevitably) go sideways
• [08:50] Our need for autonomy
• [10:10] Let go of control by taking charge with aligned action instead
• [14:10] Life’s about learning to dance in the rain 
• [16:31] Want to join me on this journey?

Is data and testing always the best path? Or is intuition sometimes helpful in making design decisions? We talk about it with Bernt Meerbeeek, the Product Owner for IoT solutions, and the R&D Manager for UX and Living Labs at Signify. We chat about personality in robotic vacuum cleaners, a cat that speaks human, and whether people are willing to give away their control to be emerged into the Internet of Things. We also talk about how being a researcher helps to be an intuitive manager for innovation teams.
