Maya Shankar ON: How to Embrace Change Gracefully & Find Purpose in Difficult Times

Maya Shankar ON: How to Embrace Change Gracefully & Find Purpose in Difficult Times

Maya Shankar sits down with Jay Shetty to talk about taking lessons from other people’s stories. While it is easy to inspire people to change when you have the tools and right environment to inspire them, it’s difficult to change a person’s mind. This is because our mind sticks to our own reality, it believes the circumstances that we are in, and it associates with the community that we belong to.

Maya is currently the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google and is the Creator, Host, and Executive Producer of “A Slight Change of Plans”, a podcast with Pushkin Industries. Maya previously served as a Senior Advisor in the Obama White House, where she founded and served as Chair of the White House's Behavioral Science Team. In 2016, she served as the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations under Ban Ki-moon.

Why Small Talk Should Be Banned & 9 Questions That Go Deeper

Why Small Talk Should Be Banned & 9 Questions That Go Deeper

What does small talk do to our minds and our experiences? Small talk limits us from deep meaningful relationships, not just with others but with ourselves as well. How often do you go to an event and have the same conversation? You stop learning, you stop listening and leave feeling unsatisfied. The more genuine, authentic, vulnerable & empathetic discussions that we have, the deeper our relationships goes and the higher our quality of happiness.

How To Create Meaningful Content & Use Social Media Strategically

When’s the last time you reflected on your social media use and your purpose for being on a platform? Creating and consuming content comes down to a place of personal discipline.
