Hack the Process: Mindful Meaningful Progress on Your Plans

When you have to make a tough choice, what process do you follow? Do you seek common ground and compromise, or dig in your heels and insist on your original perfect vision? It turns out there may be a third option. Jennifer Riel has been working with Roger Martin to share their research on integrative thinking, which teases out the best of opposing ideas to uncover a new and sometimes unexpected approach. In this episode of Hack the Process, Jennifer will share how she went from a liberal arts major into executive consulting, what role mentorship has played in her career choices, and why her work focus has broadened from the business world to the elementary school classroom.

Few of us grow up learning how to eat well and live a healthy lifestyle. That reality confronted Byron Morrison when his father was diagnosed with colon cancer. Byron took that as a challenge to learn the science behind what he needed to know to help himself and his father get healthier and stay that way. Now he’s published a book called Become a Better You, and started a coaching business around helping others improve their mindset around health and well-being. In this episode of Hack the Process Byron will tell us how he learned to adapt his own tendency toward comfort eating, explain why he chose not to create a rigid eating and exercise program for his clients, and walk us through the concrete steps he’s taken to build a brand and an audience for his message.
