Jared Seide is the founder and Executive Director of Center for Council, a nonprofit organization that trains groups and individuals to promote wellness and resiliency, foster compassion, and build community. Jared is also the author of “Where Compassion Begins: Foundational Practices to Enhance Mindfulness, Attention and Listening from the Heart,” and heart-centered leader and empowerer of businesses, schools, healthcare organizations, elder care facilities, prisons, law enforcement organizations, and community-based organizations.

Our Insight Sunday conversation is so expansive and deep, that you’re getting not one, not two, but three doses of insight. 

In part one, Jared shared his journey from being an awkward student to Hollywood movie producer to understanding and sharing the six elements of council which led to founding the Center for Council.

In part two, we talked about belonging, impostor syndrome, stress, fear, and the biology and psychology of emotions and their impact on the workplace. Jared and I also discussed how creating a space of curiosity, listening, and belonging allows people to flourish and become highly productive high-performers.

In part three, we wrap up with our couch round, where Jared shares his thoughts on the role of psychology in struggling and success, whether habits or adaptability is more important and much more!

ABOUT THE PODCAST

You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Anna Parker-Naples, Hollywood award-winning audio expert, author, speaker, coach, global business mentor, podcast launch expert, and host of the Entrepreneurs Get Visible Podcast and the Podcasting for Entrepreneurs Podcast.

If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 202 and 203 to learn from an entrepreneur, podcast expert, thought leader, and mentor who turned tragedy into triumph and helps entrepreneurs take their thinking and action to the next level. 

At the end of our conversation, Anna asked me “when does it become easy?” 

So today, I’m talking about when business, entrepreneurship, leadership, and success become easy. I also dig into why it can be hard to see and stay in that “easy” space. Plus, I talk about research and provide frameworks to understand and harness the psychology underpinning the question. I even share my answer for how to create more ease for yourself and your business.

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Fabiaan Van Vrekhem, Managing Partner at the Accord Group Belgium leadership advisory company, co-founder of Valpeo, and author of “Disruption at Work.”

Our Story Tuesday conversation is so packed and full of value that you are getting a double dose this week! 

In Part 1, Episode 199, Fabiaan shares the challenges and frustrations he experienced in HR that got in the way of success and the lessons he took from those experiences and failures.

In Part 2, Episode 200, Fabiaan and I dig into how mindset and mental models impact every level of a business from leadership to management to serving clients, plus a mistake many leaders make that gets in the way of both serving their clients better and creating more success for their teams and bottom line. 

If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 199 and 200 to listen and learn from a keen observer with over a decade of HR experience who has his finger on the pulse of the next wave of leadership skills and abilities for the business world of tomorrow. 

At the end of our conversation, Fabiaan asked me why do humans behave the way we do, and how can we make human resources an exact science? 

So I’m jumping in with my answer to Fabiaan’s question – talking about predicting human behavior, HR, and the science of it all.

 This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Fabiaan Van Vrekhem, Managing Partner at the Accord Group Belgium leadership advisory company, co-founder of Valpeo, and author of “Disruption at Work.”

Our Insight Sunday conversation is so packed and full of value that you are getting a double dose this week! 

On Insight Sunday, In Part 1 of our conversation, Episode 196, Fabiaan shares how his decade-plus of HR experience led him down a path of learning and data collecting to figure out a more effective and comprehensive model to understand high performance at work and in leadership. 

On Insight Tuesday, In Part 2 of our conversation, Fabiaan and I dig deeper into concepts like mental models, handling complexity, considering context, and why high performing leaders and companies shift their focus from improving current processes to examining what is on the cutting edge of tech and science so they can create the future. 

If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 196 and 197 to listen and learn from a keen observer with over a decade of HR experience who has his finger on the pulse of the next wave of leadership skills and abilities for the business world of tomorrow. 

A major theme we talked about in our conversation is complexity – how to navigate and increasingly fast-paced, complex environment that the business world is fast becoming, and why holding multiple complex mental models is a core leadership skill worth investing in if you want to be able to lead a successful company in the future. 

So today, I’m sharing some of my thoughts on holding complexity in a world that pushes for simplicity.
