In this episode of the Convene Podcast, keynote speaker and innovation strategist Jay Kiew introduces the concept of change fluency—the ability to view change as an opportunity rather than a threat—and shares why mindset, not management, is the key to navigating complexity. Drawing on behavioral science, personal experiences with resilience, and insights from conversations with event strategists, he explores how to combat change fatigue, leverage micro‑moments, design for serendipity, and adopt a mindset that shifts from “what’s present” to “what’s possible.”
