We’re living in a wild world. Jamais Cascio has named it BANI—Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and often Incomprehensible, and I couldn’t agree more. Change comes fast (often daily), challenges stack up, and many of us are left quietly wondering: Where do I even begin?
That’s where coaching comes in!
In the previous BANI sessions, we explored how mentoring can support individuals in a Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear and Incomprehensible (BANI) world, as described by Jamais Cascio, an American anthropologist and futurist. I’ve decided to continue this theme in our webinar series, as the geo-political and economic situation globally appears to have become even more BANI in the first three months of 2025!
Today’s world can be described as Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible (BANI), an idea created by Jamais Cascio, an American anthropologist, futurist, and author. The war in Ukraine, the Middle East conflict and instability, the increasing impact of climate change and a world where massive upheaval can occur in seconds, has created challenges that require a fresh lens and mindset.
Every day we face alarming news, fake or otherwise, that throws our minds into turmoil. How we decide to react, engage and evaluate our situation is down to us, our mindset, our ability to be resilient and how we develop our adaptive capacity. We have two solutions to support yourselves or encourage others, to make the best choices during this pandemic, maintain good mental health and to thrive through chaos!
