Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Fix Social Media with Dr. Jay Van Bavel
Q: What was your personal journey into this work?
Dr. Van Bavel describes a long, interdisciplinary path from studying intergroup relations at the University of Toronto, through an influential mentorship, toward integrating social neuroscience to understand biases and group dynamics.
The Power of Presencing in Systemic Change
Q: Can you speak a little bit more to the shift from ego to eco and what that means for systemic work?
The shift involves expanding awareness from self-centered perspectives to a broader, ecosystem-facing view, enabling leaders to align attention, intention, and agency with the needs of the wider system, including non-human stakeholders.
Exploring Attachment Styles and Compassion with Dr. Deanna Varley
Q: What would your takeaway be to our audience about your meta-analysis?
Attachment influences not only how we engage with others but also our self-compassion.
Exploring Attachment Styles and Compassion with Dr. Deanna Varley
Q: Could you break down the difference between those two attachment styles?
Anxious attachment is characterized by a fear of rejection, making individuals seek closeness but live in fear of abandonment. In contrast, avoidant attachment involves individuals avoiding closeness to protect themselves from rejection.
Compassionate Media: Communicating a World in Crisis with Dr Simon Cottle
Q: Are we really at a point now that it demands that type of language to kind of underscore how serious these issues are?
Yes, we are at an unprecedented moment in human history, demanding urgent recognition of the converging crises we face.
