Today’s guest helps people develop the insights and courage necessary to act outside their personal and cultural comfort zones when doing important, but challenging, tasks in work and life.
He is a professor of international management and organizational behavior at Brandeis University and award-winning author of “Global Dexterity: How to Adapt Behavior Across Cultures Without Losing Yourself in the Process” and his more recently published book “Reach: A New Strategy to Help You Step Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge and Build Confidence.”
His research has explored the dynamics of psychologically demanding tasks, including necessary evils and organizational change. He writes regularly for Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, and Inc.com, and consults and speaks widely to corporate audiences.
Currently, his work focuses on the challenges people face when adapting behavior in foreign cultural settings.
