Gitanjali Trevorrow-Seymour, founder of leadership development company High Definition You, has dedicated nearly a decade to working with executive leaders and teams, honing their resilience, emotional intelligence and high performance. Her mission is to free our minds from overthinking and enable us not just to see the possibilities, but to act on them with confidence and courage.
In today’s fast-paced world, navigating change and uncertainty is constant. Gitanjali offered a refreshing perspective through her concept of becoming a Possiblist™. Her insights, shared with EVERSANA INTOUCHers, provide valuable insights to help navigate change in our everyday lives, become unafraid of the unknown and ignite the Possiblist™ in all of us.
Navigating the Unknown
One of the key takeaways from Gitanjali is the importance of embracing the unknown. We all must navigate the unknown, so instead of fearing it, we should view it as an adventure. As Joseph Campbell once said, “The adventure is always and everywhere a passage beyond the veil of the known into the unknown.”
This mindset shift can lead to greater resilience and adaptability. By stepping into the unfamiliar, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences that can drive growth and innovation.
The Power of Mindset
Our minds are often cluttered with habitual thinking patterns that limit our potential. How can we break free from these patterns? Gitanjali challenged us to disrupt these patterns by cultivating a mindset of curiosity and exploration. She asked an insightful question: Are you willing to take a risk to disrupt your habitual thinking, or are you waiting for someone else to do it first? This shift in perspective can help us approach challenges with a fresh outlook and find creative solutions.
“Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”

The Possiblist™ Perspective
Possiblists™ don’t debate if the glass is half full or half empty. They know the glass is full; it just happens to be full of air and water. They are explorers, willing to disrupt habitual thinking and ask, “Why not?”
Igniting Your Possiblist™
Conscious choice: We all have negative thoughts that can distract us from our goals. By activating conscious choice, we bring awareness to our thought patterns and allow ourselves to consciously choose a different perspective. Instead of saying, “I can’t,” ask yourself, “What’s my opportunity to make things easier?” Possiblists™ embrace adaptability and find solutions.
See the invisible: Possiblists™ see beyond the obvious. Writing down new ideas and sharing them with colleagues can spark innovation and collaboration. This practice not only enhances individual creativity, but also fosters a culture of teamwork and shared success.
Changing routine: Simple changes in our daily routines, such as brushing our teeth with the opposite hand, can open our minds to new possibilities. These small disruptions can help us break free from habitual thinking and encourage a more flexible and adaptive mindset.
EVERSANA INTOUCH strives to provide employees with the tools and inspiration needed to navigate change confidently and creatively. Encouraging a mindset of curiosity, exploration and collaboration fosters an innovative and resilient agency culture.
We value our employees feeling empowered to embrace the unknown and think differently, as well as having a supportive work environment to ignite their inner Possiblist™ and unlock their full potential.
