In a world where design has become an essential tool for navigating the changing world of business, how might it help you reimagine your own career success? Stanford’s Bill Burnett rejoins Moe Abdou to explore how design thinking is redefining the modern world of work.

Prototyping A Life of Perpetual Excellence

As the world starts to reemerge from the COVID-19 experience – none of us will be left without impact. Irrespective of the toll this pandemic has taken on you or your family’s wellbeing, the societal shifts will forever be linked to the days, weeks, and months in 2020 when the world was put on a temporary pause.

Many around the world were left wondering what the future might hold; yet a rare few began to contemplate a completely different set of questions. Ones that reimagine a totally different future, that go to the edges of what we’ve known to be possible, and ultimately, the type of questions that many of us have held close to the vest, but for whatever reason opted not to ask – fear perhaps?

Time and again, the very nature of work and career has been foremost on the minds of those of us building companies and the very individuals we employee. What will the future of work look like? What about the culture – what is that likely to be? How about the ever elusive engagement level of people – what needs to happen to move the needle? And, certainly the question of purpose – how might we inject more meaning in what we do and how we deliver it? These are precisely the type of questions that Bill Burnett and Dave Evans feel are vital to reestablishing a world where work is not only appreciated, but where individual & corporate excellence become the singular priority.

Their latest book – Designing Your Work Life – and our conversation take you inside their laboratory to give you a glimpse of how the design thinking methodology can help you navigate an unknowable future; particularly one that involves your intellectual and career freedom.

Episode Overview:

  • What is design thinking?
  • Why designers build, and not think their way forward?
  • The correlation between design thinking and individual excellence?
  • What does it really mean to prototype one’s own life?
  • Curiosity is a designer’s #1 mindset, still it’s elusive to many – why?
  • A design thinking approach to understanding and overcoming fear?
  • Why you should avoid gravity problems?
  • How to learn to love constraints?
  • The design thinking playbook for leaders and leadership teams.
  • What a story says about you, your company, and your future?
  • What elite sales people never do & the one place they always start from?

An Interview with Tom Rath on Life's Great Question

An Interview with Tom Rath on Life’s Great Question

An Interview with Tom Rath on Life’s Great Question 1920 1080 chase

In an important & timely conversation, Moe is joined by leading workplace researcher and the author of StrengthsFinder 2.0, Tom Rath to discuss the correlation between contribution and wellbeing.

Life’s Great Question

Few have contributed to understanding the concept of modern work as Tom Rath. In his nearly two decade association with Gallup, he not only actualized the concept of Strength based performance; but he brought to life a concept of wellbeing that goes way beyond career fulfillment and focuses instead on the science of designing a meaningful life.

Tom’s work has been an integral part of my life since I first received an advanced copy of StrengthsFinder 2.0 nearly 13 years ago. It was a concept that I had embraced in building my organization with New York Life; still I was so outwardly focused that I neglected to align my own life with the skills that most ignited my impact. One thing for certain, I’m most alive when I know I’m contributing to the success and wellbeing of others, and it’s people like Tom who continually reinforce why that’s the most important work that any of us can hope to achieve.

Tom’s latest book – Life’s Great Question: Discover How You Contribute to the World is the purest reflection of an individual who was born to serve. It goes without saying that Tom’s impact on the world is far-reaching – but as you listen to this conversation, you’ll walk away understanding why it’s his character and his example that truly brings his work to life.

Episode Overview:

  • The science of designing your life for optimal performance?
  • An approach to change that’s more inviting and actually works.
  • A smarter way to look at your current work/role, and the question that ignites it.
  • Life’s great question – what is it?
  • Unpacking the three key components of job crafting.
  • Why all teams need to create, operate, and relate?
  • The myth of following your passion and the importance of actualizing your contribution?
  • The key question that will help you commercialize your contribution?
  • Why reconstructing yesterday is more impactful than designing tomorrow?
  • What does a healthy relationship with money look like?

An Interview with Kapil Gupta on The Hidden Dimension of Sustained Performance

An Interview with Kapil Gupta on The Hidden Dimension of Sustained Performance 1920 1080 chase

In their initial episode of 2020, Kapil and Moe discuss why the Truth often eludes us, why it always lives in the question, and what happens when you discover it. They also explore the hidden dimension of sustained performance & the deep patterns of the mind.

Why Performance is Always a Byproduct

I’ve always had a deep desire to contribute to the success and wellbeing of others – it’s what gets me out of bed in the morning and it’s why I love to share what I learn. And, it’s perhaps why I have so much appreciation for the opportunity to engage with Kapil. His is a perspective that never fails to challenge the depth of my thinking, and this episode is no exception.

Mid-way through our conversation, you’ll notice him pushing me to tell him ‘why I always want help people?’ And while I’ve always felt it as a calling or somewhat innate; he helps me see it from an angle that I’ve never really considered. Listen for yourself and see how it impacts your thinking.

Episode Overview:

  • The myth of new year resolutions and goals.
  • Why and how the present always dictates the future?
  • Why the Truth is so elusive to most of us?
  • How you’ll know you’ve discovered your Truth?
  • What we get wrong about performance?
  • The Truth about the pursuit of ‘no-mind’?
  • What we miss when we help someone?
  • What makes a legend?
  • The ultimate trigger of fear?
  • What we get wrong about hard work and effort?

An Interview with Kapil Gupta on The Truth About Performance 1920 1080 chase

Perpetual excellence is revered, yet few ever experience it. In their continuing dialogue, Kapil Gupta and Moe Abdou explore the hidden dimensions of world-class performance.

The Truth About Performance

Few understand the essence of perpetual excellence as Kapil Gupta. If you know anything about him or have followed his work; you undoubtedly know that he’s as unconventional with his thinking as he is uncompromising with his beliefs.

It’s the singular, most elusive characteristic that distinguishes high achievers – still, few ever experience it.

In our latest episode, we’ll dive into the roadblocks and intangibles that are likely keeping you stuck – most importantly though, we’ll get clear on what you have to do to rid yourself of mental conditioning that’s ruining your life.

Episode Overview:

  • Why greatness always starts with your approach?
  • Why progress starts with understanding?
  • What the most respected coaches never do?
  • The correlation between attachment and interference?
  • It’s never about the thing – why the problem is never really the problem?

  • When do you know you’re getting a glimpse of the Truth?
  • The difference between a prescriptive technique and the real Truth?
  • Why selling is never really about selling?
  • The big misconception about modern marketing?
