S31E15 - Throwback Tuesday - Employee Well-being in the Workplace, with Erin Coupe
In this "Throwback Tuesday" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover) talks with Erin Coupe about employee well-being in the workplace. See the video here: https://youtu.be/sEkhq97PoTs.
Erin Coupe (https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-coupe/) has spent 17 years in three global corporations (technology, finance, real estate). Her journey to self-actualization stems from the demands, and commands, that work and the conditioned life placed on her well-being, psyche and soul. In 2017, she experienced what she now deems an awakening and her perception began to change as she found herself embarking on a journey of personal transformation. Subsequent progressive studies and deep self-work empowered her to evolve her own mindset and be a better professional, leader, and overall human being. In time, she reconnected to her authentic self and came to know her true life purpose. Learn more on her website: erincoupe.com.

S31E12 - HBR Minute Rewind - How and When to Disrupt Your Career, and Yourself, with Whitney Johnson
In this "HBR Minute Rewind" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores Whitney Johnson's recent HBR video, "How and When to Disrupt Your Career, and Yourself" (Originally Aired October 4th, 2020). See the full video and all of the details here: https://youtu.be/1wrQ6Msp7wM
Overview of video: "If you’re comfortable but bored at your current position, you’re in the danger zone. Here are some ways to keep growing without leaving your company. Whitney Johnson, an executive coach and author of "Disrupt Yourself", says we give a lot of airtime to building disruptive products and services, to buying and/or investing in disruptive companies, and we should. Both are vital engines of economic growth. But, the most overlooked engine of growth is the individual. If you are really looking to move the world forward, begin by innovating on the inside, and disrupt yourself."
Recognized as one of the 50 leading business thinkers in the world (Thinkers50), Whitney Johnson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneyjohnson) is an expert on disruptive innovation and personal disruption; specifically, a framework which she codifies in the critically acclaimed book Disrupt Yourself: Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work and in her latest book Build an "A" Team: Play To Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve. (Harvard Business Press, 2018). She is also the author of Dare, Dream, Do: Remarkable Things Happen When You Dare to Dream. She developed her proprietary framework and diagnostics after having cofounded the Disruptive Innovation Fund with Harvard Business School's Clayton Christensen. This framework is complemented by a deep understanding of how executives create and destroy value, having spent nearly a decade as an Institutional Investor ranked equity analyst on Wall Street. In addition to her work as a speaker and advisor, Whitney is one of Marshall Goldsmith's original cohort of 25 for the #100 Coaches Project, is a coach for Harvard Business School's Executive Education program, frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, is a Linkedin influencer, and hosts the weekly Disrupt Yourself Podcast.
