The Dov Baron Show

Comfort may be one of the great human paradoxes. We want it, we need it, but when we get too much of it, we can become demotivated, even lazy. 2020 and 2021 have been defined by political polarization and a global pandemic; no one has been untouched. We're all looking for some kind of comfort. Comfort may not have been something we saw a place for in the workplace. However, maybe we need to Break Open the Myths we have around Comfort by making a clear distinction between comforting and comfortable. So, here's the question. Is there a specific way to deliver comfort to someone who is in massive distress, and do so in such a way that it's effective for that individual, perhaps in turn to the entire organization? Let's find out together. Our guest is Jen Marr. Jen is the founder and CEO of Inspiring Comfort. She comes from a highly successful corporate background and found herself facilitating care and recovery efforts at Sandy Hook after the mass shooting. In an age of increasing social disconnection, she is disrupting the education and mental health spaces as she trains organizations, schools, and communities on how to activate the skill of comfort and cultivate a caring, connected culture. Jen has delivered her Comfort Skills Programming to such notable organizations such as The Mental Health Association of New York State, The New York Office of Mental Health, the American Association of Suicide Prevention, Georgetown University, and Northeastern University.

There is practical training and a test to become a driver, yet often, there is no real training or test to become a good CEO.

The result is fumbling or downright failed leadership. Now, you may have been a leader for a long time, but if there was a CEO Test, do you honestly believe you would pass? Let's find out together. Our guest is Adam Bryant. Adam has interviewed more than 700 CEOs about the key leadership lessons they've learned, first as a journalist at The New York Times, and now in his interview series on LinkedIn as part of his consulting work with ExCo Group, an executive mentoring and leadership development firm.

Rebecca Costa Wouldn't it be amazing to actually look into the future, to know what was coming and adapt accordingly? The fact is, there is a lot that's going to change and it's going to change faster than we expect. What's more, if we don't know how to adapt quickly, there's a pretty good chance that our business is going the way of the Dodo bird. Alvin Toffler, the well-known futurist, made a profound observation when he said, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn." But how can we develop fast adaptation? Our guest is Rebecca Costa. Rebecca is a Sociobiologist and highly acclaimed technology and science futurist. Rebecca Costa's landmark work has been heralded by global thought, innovation, and business leaders around the world. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NewsMax, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, and other leading publications. As the preeminent global expert on the subject of "fast adaptation" and recipient of the prestigious Edward O. Wilson Biodiversity Technology Award, Rebecca reveals how A.I and predictive analytics hold the key to solving dangerous systemic issues and offers a unique scientific perspective on the headlines of the day. Rebecca's first book, The Watchman's Rattle: A Radical New Theory of Collapse, was a runaway international bestseller. Her follow‐on book, On the Verge, was introduced in 2017 to critical acclaim, shooting to the top of Amazon's #1 New Business Releases.

In the corporate world, the idea of 'accountability' is seen as a core function of management. However, if we think about it, in many ways we've had accountability upside down. Here's what I mean; we pay more attention to knowing who to blame in case we fail than to creating the conditions to succeed. What that means is that oftentimes, accountability is seen as a threat rather than a debrief strategy for success. So, what might happen if we turned that around? Is it possible that we've got accountability upside down? If so, how can we get it so that our people want to embrace accountability? Our guest today is Mr. Rob "Cujo" Teschner.
