Asking better questions with Jeff Wetzler

We all have sets of routines that we like to follow, whether it’s common like brushing your teeth twice a day, or unique to our interests like working out the same way each week. Today’s guest believes we can set even stronger routines by shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset. Michael Norton is the author of “The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions.” He sits down with Jessi to explain how rituals deepen our emotional ties to tasks and make them more meaningful to complete.

The Power of Rituals with Michael Norton

Like most -isms in our world, ageism can be pervasive in the workplace. Older employees might be passed over for new opportunities, expected to fall behind on technology, and generally underestimated just because of their age. Today’s guest is optimistic about the future for workers 50 years and older. Kerry Hannon is the author of “In Control at 50+: How to Succeed in The New World of Work.” She sits down with Jessi to discuss how we can set ourselves up for success and new opportunities well into our 50s and 60s.
