Changing our work patterns can feel daunting. We’re held back by the comfort of familiar routines and overwhelmed by the constant demands of urgent tasks and workplace conflicts, leaving us with little energy to explore new approaches.

Today, Dan and Ryan discuss trusting your instincts in creative decision-making, knowing when to reset versus rebuild, and applying upstream thinking to prevent downstream consequences.

Dan Heath is the #1 New York Times bestselling author/coauthor of six books including Made to Stick, Switch, Upstream, and The Power of Moments. Dan also hosts the award-winning podcast What It’s Like to Be… which explores what it’s like to walk in the shoes of people from different professions.
