351: The Art of Insubordination

Calling all rebels! This week we’re joined by Todd Kashdan, Ph.D, a Professor of Psychology at George Mason University and author of several books including his latest, “The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively.” Todd talks us through how and when to question the status quo and use courage, curiosity and resilience to effect change.

 You’ll also learn:

  • What insubordination is and why it matters—especially now

  • What biases can get in your way when it comes to wellbeing

  • How to ask the right questions to inspire action in others

  • How to slow down and assess urgency

  • Which mental tools you can use to lower your blood pressure

  • How personality tests can help you and where are they limiting

  • What to keep in mind when you’re leading a meeting and how to lead with curiosity

  • Two great questions that could lead you to deeper conversations
