Norman shares how his own curiosity around human behaviour led him to develop a framework built around three core forces — activity, relationships, and context — and explains why context is often the invisible driver behind both personal struggles and failed business strategies. Together, Paul and Norman explore ideas around unconscious habits, emotional states, awareness, culture, leadership maturity, and why most change initiatives fail because they focus on behaviour without changing the underlying story people are living inside. This is a thoughtful and deeply reflective conversation about consciousness, leadership, personal growth, and what it truly means to build a “living organization” rather than simply manage a machine.
