Building Supportive Communities: A Conversation with Nick Johnson, Co-founder of EGN

The Adrian Tan Show

We’ll explore this topic with Nick Johnson, co-founder of EGN, one of Asia’s premier networking organizations. Join us for a conversation about building supportive communities for executives.

Nick shares his insights on creating a culture where it’s okay not to be okay and how to turn mistakes into learning opportunities. “A problem shared is a problem halved, which makes a huge difference,” Nick advises.

This approach encourages open dialogue and collective support, creating an environment where it’s acceptable not to be okay. By embracing vulnerability, teams can transform mistakes into valuable learning opportunities rather than sources of shame.

Nick believes that when individuals perceive challenges as opportunities for growth, they become more inclined to take risks and pursue innovative solutions. This mindset encourages both personal and organizational development, as embracing adversity fosters creativity and resilience. By viewing obstacles as chances to learn and improve, people can cultivate a culture of experimentation and collaboration, leading to enhanced problem-solving capabilities and greater overall success. Ultimately, this approach empowers individuals and organizations to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing environment.
