The Burning Platform

The Burning Platform

Why the burning platform matters now: Paul explains the metaphor and shares practical tools to shift from autopilot to an adaptive, growth mindset in times of disruption.

Full description:
In this episode, Paul Corke unpacks the burning platform—a metaphor for urgent change inspired by the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-rig disaster—and applies it to the world we live in today. With technology, global shocks and new ways of working accelerating change, what made you successful yesterday won’t guarantee success tomorrow. The question is: how will you respond?

Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s insight that we can always choose our response and Bruce Lee’s “be like water” philosophy, Paul shows how to move from conditioned reactions to conscious, resilient action. He also shares practical mindset tools you can use immediately to assess where you are—and who you need to become—amid disruption.

You’ll hear:

  • The burning platform mindset—why urgency can catalyse smarter choices

  • Fixed vs Growth Mindset and Judging vs Learning Mindset self-checks

  • A simple Life Map exercise to surface resilience lessons from your past

  • How to redefine success and build a personal change list for the future

  • Why a To-Be list (state, values, presence) beats an endless To-Do list


Reflection to take away:
Where is your burning platform right now—and what’s the first small, brave step you’ll take to move?
