Drs. Greenberg and Nadler will take a deeper look at how you manage these feelings. In our Emotional Brilliance book, we presented a model of dealing with them called NAME.

What is causing the most stress today, according to a recent American Psychological Association study, is:

Rajesh Nagjee built his first company, burned out running it, and nearly lost everything. That breaking point became the foundation for everything he teaches today. Now a CEO mentor and business physicist, Rajesh helps scale-stage founder-CEOs escape the Founder Bottleneck: when a company grows sophisticated enough to scale yet still depends on the founder for decisions and operational stability. He calls this underlying dynamic the Velocity Crisis, when systems evolve faster than the founder's internal operating capacity.

To solve this, Rajesh created CEO Freedom OS™, a leadership architecture that removes structural founder dependency without sacrificing control. The framework installs four systems: Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS. Over 30 years, Rajesh has mentored 350+ CEOs across 15 countries, including leaders at Amex KSA, Nielsen MEA, and BNI Middle East, helping them build companies that scale beyond the founder.

Experiencing construction business problems from the perspective of an installer, a field leader, a trade contractor, a General Contractor and an owner's Rep has helped Jesse understand that we are more alike than we are different. Being a witness to people discovering their agency and leaders contributing to that is what brings him fulfillment.

His path in the professional space and 7+ years of sobriety has helped Jesse meet people where they are at and get them unstuck. The key is in serving others and helping folks leverage their influence and formal authority in making the work better for the men and women who are doing the work. Jesse's 5S in Relationships Livestream Experiment revealed to him that there is a gap in connection amongst construction professionals. This led him to co-author the book Lean & Love 5S Love Letters and co-host The NoBS with Jen and Jess Podcast, where he is having imperfect conversations about the human side of work.

These efforts helped Jesse appreciate the power of vulnerability. Jesse has also written Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be where readers can find glimpses of themselves in the stories he shares and discover the path to living up to the promise they are Intended to fulfill. Seeing the impact these works are having have lit a fire in Jesse to help people practice vulnerability and deepen their connection with the folks they spend the most time with. Jesse wants to serve our listeners with the idea that focusing on the person in front of us is the best way to Expand their Influence.

The key to this is listening and more specifically asking interested questions. He wants to introduce the listeners two a couple of cheat codes (air time & first response) that they can put into practice immediately.

In this special episode, Dr. Cathy Greenberg interviews Dr. Relly Nadler about his journey into the science of emotional intelligence and the breakthrough tools he's developed to help leaders excel in the moments that matter most.

Listeners will learn the five questions that can elevate EI in just 15 seconds, along with practical, immediately usable strategies to become more strategic, productive, and self-aware—right in the moment.

If you want to break free from autopilot and lead with purpose, precision, and presence, this episode is your roadmap.

Steve Cadigan is a pioneer in reimagining how organizations attract, develop, and unleash talent in the modern economy. As founder of Cadigan Talent Ventures, he works deeply with leaders on complex, critical talent strategies—challenging conventional thinking and provoking breakthrough approaches for organizations navigating the future of work.

As the architect of LinkedIn's talent strategy during its hypergrowth from 400 to 4,000 employees, Steve served as the company's first Chief Human Resources Officer from 2009 to 2012, guiding the company through its IPO and building the foundation that fueled its evolution into the powerhouse it is today. That experience, combined with over 25 years leading HR across diverse industries—including Cisco Systems, Electronic Arts, and ESPRIT—gives him a unique vantage point for provoking new thinking about how organizations create value through their people.

Today, Steve's primary work involves providing strategic counsel at every level—from individual companies to entire industries to national governments. He partners with organizations including Google, Cisco, Intel, Salesforce, the BBC, the City of Lisbon Portugal, Manchester United Football Club, and the Royal Bank of Scotland on their most pressing talent challenges. Top-tier venture capital and consulting firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, KKR, McKinsey & Company, and Deloitte regularly retain him to work alongside their portfolio companies and clients on complex talent strategy. He serves on the boards of three companies spanning the U.S., Canada, and Africa, advises twelve dynamic companies navigating critical inflection points, and works with countries including Portugal and Colombia on national talent strategies.

Throughout his career, the teams, cultures, and organizations Steve has built have been recognized as exceptional, "world-class" performers by the Wall Street Journal and Fortune Magazine. He has been named a Top 100 Global Thought Leader in HR and Talent by PeopleHum every year since 2021.

In addition to his advisory work, Steve is a sought-after speaker at international conferences and teaches at major universities around the world. He has been featured regularly on Bloomberg West, CBS, and CNBC. In 2021, he received the honor of delivering commencement addresses to MBA graduates at both Stanford University and the University of San Francisco—a feat he repeated at USF, challenging emerging leaders to rethink traditional career paradigms. Stanford University developed a graduate-level course based on his cultural innovations at LinkedIn, cementing his influence on how the next generation of leaders thinks about building high-performing organizations.

His book, Workquake: Embracing the Aftershocks of COVID-19 to Create a Better Model of Working, became a #1 Amazon Hot New Release upon its August 2021 publication and captures his contrarian perspective on workplace evolution.

What sets Steve apart is that he has lived deep inside the world of work as both employee and employer. He has interviewed, hired, coached, and mentored thousands of employees and leaders across multiple industries and geographies—from his early years living in Singapore and Canada to his current base in California. This lived experience gives him a unique and authoritative point of view, essential to all discussions about the future of work.

Steve graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in History and received a Master's Degree in HR & Organization Development from the University of San Francisco.

In this conversation, futurist Robert B. Tucker explains why today's change is fundamentally different from anything we've faced before and why incremental thinking no longer works in the Age of Acceleration. Drawing from his new book, Build a Better Future: Seven Mindsets for the Age of Acceleration, Tucker explores what it truly means to "disrupt yourself," how leaders can stay ahead of powerful MegaForces like AI-driven job disruption, and why human agency and flourishing have become as critical as innovation itself. He shares lessons from leaders who most shaped his thinking, offers practical ways to build a preparedness mindset, and introduces his DITO framework, a simple but powerful tool for making clearer, future-focused decisions in uncertain times.

Robert B. Tucker is a globally recognized futurist, innovation advisor, author, and keynote speaker who has spent more than 30 years helping leaders anticipate change and build future ready organizations. A former journalist, he began his career interviewing the world's leading futurists, which sparked a lifelong focus on how high performing organizations turn ideas into growth amid rapid disruption. Tucker has spoken in all 50 U.S. states and 54 countries, advised organizations ranging from Microsoft and American Express to government and trade associations worldwide, and is the author of multiple influential books on innovation and leadership. A Forbes contributor, he has appeared on CBS News, CNBC, Bloomberg, and PBS, and is known for blending original research, vivid storytelling, and practical frameworks that help leaders see further up the road and act with confidence in the Age of Acceleration.

AI is moving fast, and it's natural to wonder what that means for our jobs. Join us for a reassuring look at why many careers aren't going anywhere.

Is it that they have a brilliant leader or that every team member is a top performer? The truth is that those help, but neither of them differentiates the best teams. Exceptional teams stand apart from others by building an emotionally intelligent ecosystem (not just the EI of leaders or employees). Unlike most, emotionally intelligent teams develop social norms and routines that motivate teamwork by building a genuine sense of belonging among team members. These norms prioritize team member feedback and development, and encourage constructive debate that produces effective decisions and novel ideas

Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or lose out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity.

The cause of this high rate of failure is due to the vast majority of new managers never receiving the leadership training they desperately need to succeed in their role.

Leaders are increasingly challenged to understand how to respond to a polarized world. They are grappling with addressing division while embracing otherness. But to create welcoming environments in which each member feels recognized and comfortable being their whole selves at work, we must face our own need for belonging -- one that is often unmet. In REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong (HarperBusiness; Nov. 14, 2023), executive coach Jerry Colonna urges leaders to consider the ways they have been complicit in, and benefitted from, conditions they say they'd like to change, and shows them how to create new systems of inclusion for everyone. In today's complex and divisive world, it is only through radical self-inquiry, a concept explored in Colonna's first book Reboot, that leaders can forge systemic belonging for everyone.

In Habits of a Peacemaker: 10 Habits to Change Our Potentially Toxic Conversations into Healthy Dialogues (Shadow Mountain Publishing; 9/3/24) Steven T. Collis offers a practical, humbling path to better, more genuinely productive, and empathetic conversations.

As a law professor specializing in the First Amendment and a leading expert on civil discourse, Collis has built his career navigating some of the most divisive issues facing our world today. He's bridged gaps between people across the ideological spectrum: academics, diplomats, foreign and domestic judges, high schoolers, religious leaders, college and graduate students, devout churchgoers, devoted atheists and agnostics, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who believe in traditional notions of sexuality—essentially, people who are perhaps the most poised to disagree with each other.

Habits of a Peacemaker shows us many of the keys to creating civil discourse between theoretically opposing parties. These include reframing disagreement as an opportunity to learn rather than an argument to win, recognizing our intellectual limitations, acknowledging our basic biases, and so much more. By following these habits, we can engage in dialogue about difficult topics while simultaneously building and strengthening relationships.

Steven T. Collis is an author and law professor at the University of Texas- Austin. A former research fellow at Stanford Law School, he is the founding faculty director of the Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center and is one of the nation's leading thought leaders on the First Amendment and civil discourse. He regularly speaks to major media outlets and lay audiences all over the globe on those issues. He is the author of four books, most recently Habits of a Peacemaker
