Hack The Process: Mindful Action On Your Plans

When you're the Chief Ethics Officer for a well-known company like Airbnb, you sometimes have to weigh the conflicting demands of shareholders, employees, guests, hosts, and governments around the world against your own integrity. Rob Chesnut says that starting with integrity makes the rest of the decisions much more straightforward, and he hopes to share that message with his new book, Intentional Integrity. In this Hack the Process interview, Rob will tell us what he learned about teaching a typically dry subject like ethics from watching YouTube videos with his kids, how he approached the challenge of writing a book while working full time, and why a company's demonstrable values matter, now more than ever.

Demotivation is not the opposite of motivation according to Dr. Tara Peters because different factors usually cause people to become motivated or demotivated. Dr. Peters has been researching demotivation for years through her academic work in organizational behavior as well as direct consulting in the business world. She's also co-authored a book called The Demotivated Employee to help leaders address this problem that may be costing companies $500 billion annually. In this Hack the Process interview, Dr. Peters will tell us what leaders can do to help recognize and address de-motivating patterns of behavior, how she balances her demanding academic and consulting careers, and why learning to work virtually now might put business consultants at an advantage.

In this Hack the Process interview David will tell us how he used education and networking to transition from full-time employee to solopreneur, why his original business model shifted to meet the demand for agile consulting, and what his experiences investing in incubators taught him about developing an entrepreneurial mindset.

There are some people who see conflict all around them, and others who choose not to acknowledge it at all. But according to Organizational Psychologist and author of Optimal Outcomes, Dr. Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler, the first step is stopping to notice your own patterns so you can see more clearly how the conflicts in your life affect the world around you. In this Hack the Process interview Jen will tell us about the continuing role mentorship has had in her career, what strategies helped her pivot smoothly between professional and academic careers, and how her family history inspired her to study conflict resolution.

But according to Bill Schaninger, co-author of Beyond Performance 2.0, if all we track are short-term performance wins, we're not setting ourselves up for sustainable health, and he has decades of research to back that up.
