I don’t know if you’ve noticed, we seem to be living in a state of perpetual crisis. From a pandemic to supply chain issues and to talent leaving the workforce in the millions. Then, on top of that, there is the cancel culture. Say the wrong thin, even as a joke, even in the past, and your career, your status, could be gone in a moment. How is your organization going to, not just cope, but come out on top? Warren Buffet said, “An idiot with a plan will beat a genius with no plan.” But it the context of crisis, is that true? After all, as Mike Tyson said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” So, if Warren Buffet is right, you should you have a crisis communication plan. However, if Tyson is correct, your plan will be about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. So, what’s the answer?

Comfort may be one of the great human paradoxes. We want it, we need it, but when we get too much of it, we can become demotivated, even lazy. 2020 and 2021 have been defined by political polarization and a global pandemic; no one has been untouched. We're all looking for some kind of comfort. Comfort may not have been something we saw a place for in the workplace. However, maybe we need to Break Open the Myths we have around Comfort by making a clear distinction between comforting and comfortable. So, here’s the question. Is there a specific way to deliver comfort to someone who is in massive distress, and do so in such a way that it's effective for that individual, perhaps in turn to the entire organization?

Let’s find out together. Our guest is Jen Marr. Jen is the founder and CEO of Inspiring Comfort. She comes from a highly successful corporate background and found herself facilitating care and recovery efforts at Sandy Hook after the mass shooting. In an age of increasing social disconnection, she is disrupting the education and mental health spaces as she trains organizations, schools, and communities on how to activate the skill of comfort and cultivate a caring, connected culture. Jen has delivered her Comfort Skills Programming to such notable organizations such as The Mental Health Association of New York State, The New York Office of Mental Health, the American Association of Suicide Prevention, Georgetown University, and Northeastern University.

Let’s find out together. Our guest is Adam Bryant. Adam has interviewed more than 700 CEOs about the key leadership lessons they've learned, first as a journalist at The New York Times, and now in his interview series on LinkedIn as part of his consulting work with ExCo Group, an executive mentoring and leadership development firm. Adam's written his third book, "The CEO Test: Master the Challenges that Make or Break All Leaders," with Kevin Sharer, the former CEO of Amgen.
