Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Incorruptible: Protecting Your Corporate Ethos After Achieving Success with Eric Ries
Q: What is the Lean Startup's primary thesis, and what one main message should a reader take away?
The core thesis is that a startup is an experiment, and success comes from using the scientific method to validate hypotheses quickly through real-world testing, with a pivot or persistence based on what is learned.
Resilience Isn't Powering Through: Jay Abbasi on Adaptability
Q: Can you walk us through what the three Rs are and why the framework matters?
Recharge is about regular energy restoration, reframing involves acknowledging distress, asking curious questions, and channeling energy toward a positive outcome, and reconnect focuses on staying aligned with a larger purpose to maintain resilience.
How the Brain Learns at Work, with Dr. Tessa Forshaw
Q: What practical steps can leaders take to move learning into the flow of work?
Lead with relational mentorship, design learning that occurs in context, avoid overemphasis on formal modules, and foster environments where workers can observe, imitate, and reflect with mentors. Also, ensure learning involves effort and is transferable to new contexts.
How the Brain Learns at Work, with Dr. Tessa Forshaw
Q: What is the core thesis of Innovation-ish, and why does it matter for learning at work?
The core thesis is that every human can create breakthrough solutions to real problems, and the same cognitive processes involved in creativity underlie effective learning. This means learning at work should embrace creative problem-solving, ambiguity, collaboration, and iterative experimentation rather than linear, perfection-driven approaches.
How the Brain Learns at Work, with Dr. Tessa Forshaw
Q: Please give our listeners the elevator pitch version of your story.
I'm Australian with an arts and sociology background who moved into consulting and workforce learning. A pivotal shift came when I realized I didn't understand how the brain learns, so I pursued grad school to ground my practice in learning science, eventually leading HGSE's workforce learning initiatives.
