You’ve got to go for radical adaptability. He’s here to explain what it means and how you can use it for yourself and your business. “The essence of radical adaptability is that it is predictive, proactive, and progressive, very unlike the typical response to change, which is inherently reactive and conformist,” he says.Keith, an expert in relational and collaborative sciences, founded Ferrazzi Greenlight, a research institute that focuses on the impacts of behavioral science on business. He coaches Fortune 100 company leaders and executive teams. In that coaching, he teaches people how they can change their organizational behaviors to increase growth and value.“If you're in business, if you work in an organization or you're a leader of an organization, what you're going to hear from us today is, well, how do you need to reboot yourself so that you don't crawl out of the rubble and go back to old work ways, but you, what I call, don't go back to work, you go forward to work,” Keith says. “How do you leap forward 10 years out of the pandemic?”He addresses those questions in his new book, “Competing in the New World of Work: How Radical Adaptability Separates the Best from the Rest.” With equal parts vulnerability, authenticity and honesty, Keith walks you through how to become the best version of your career self. For example, he’ll talk about the importance of collaborating with your colleagues to focus on growth and learning, challenging your assumptions to build empathy and why without resilience you won’t make it far. You’ll also get a look into specific tools and apps that can help you build resilience from a distance, with trust.Keith talks about a “Go Forward to Work” project he led during the pandemic that documented best practices and innovations happening in the workplace. Here’s what he found: “The pandemic gave people courage to shoot through the shit and state the truth, because there was an emergency going on and we rose to an occasion, and we didn't give a shit about silos.”In a post-pandemic world, it’s absolutely necessary to master radical adaptability. If you’re looking for ways to catapult your career or organizations forward, and not get lost in the chaos of change, you don’t want to miss the knowledge and practical tips shared in this episode.

When WTF Means Your Freedom’s At Stake – Dave Asprey : 898
IN THIS *BONUS* EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...Dave goes live – and solo – on Telegram to talk about the state of the world according to one of his four Fs: Freedom. (The others are fear, food and fertility). From your biology to your right to protest, freedom means you get to decide what’s right for you.“The need to be free is so you can perform your role in the greater organism, Dave says. "And this is why whenever we have central authority and central control, we end up with overreach. And when there is overreach, there is, universally, throughout all of human history, you push and you push and you push as a government until people lose it, and then they inevitably change things.”Website: https://daveasprey.comTelegram: https://t.me/aspreyofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprMembership: https://www.ourupgradecollective.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Her father, Holocaust survivor Dr. Alex Hershaft, co-founded the modern animal rights movement in the U.S. more than 40 years ago. She speaks to the ethical, moral and deeply traumatic reasons people choose veganism. Those points cannot be dismissed. Nor can the implications of a completely plant-based diet without animal protein on human health.Monica shares her story of being an active, athletic teen and continuing veganism into adulthood. It was a trendy detox program at age 34 that triggered her rocky, decade-long health journey from debilitating sickness to finding health solutions. “It didn't even occur to me as a child to think anything different because that's just how I was raised and that's how we ate,” she explains. “Eventually, when I did grow up and get sick, it took a while for me to even consider that it could be my diet. So, it was a very big pivot mentally to make that leap.”She also wrestled with coming out as Paleo to her father and what discarding veganism meant for her family relationships. “I had to be willing to lose the relationship, to stand up for what my truth was,” she says. Healing her physical and mental health led the hard discussions: “I'm going to be eating animal protein at every single meal, because I believe that that's how I can keep my life and my health,” she recalls saying. Monica’s now a bestselling author, motivational speaker, holistic health practitioner and nutritional consultant. She founded a top-rated holistic wellness center in Los Angeles and recently relocated to Scottsdale, AZ where she works 1:1 with patients to get their health back. She helps people heal from illness that other medical professionals often label a “mystery.” You’ll gain valuable information from this conversation, such as:how to assess your symptoms, how to understand nervous system switching and blocking,the important relationship between the vagus nerve and an allergic state,food checklists to follow, how to recognize harmful food propaganda,why fungus and metals are the big thing (in vegetarians/vegans),why animal welfare and good soil matters,educational videos to watch, programs to attend, and,how to find help from functional, alternative and holistic professionals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
