Stress Management + Resilience Tools for Your Happified Life

The Power of Social Change

Episode Summary

Karen Judd Smith is an advocate of good trouble. We discuss the process of change and the value of a "mountain top" perspective in our wide ranging conversation about social groups from the micro- to the macro- levels, from her childhood on a farm in Australia to navigating the UN, and all the questions of philosophy and physics in between.

Episode Notes

Dr. Karen Judd Smith, PhD has taken her experience supporting NGOs navigating the process of working with the UN, and honed those tools to share in her Transilience Quotient framework. Her work supports change leaders and organizations with a mission of social change as they navigate our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. 

We talk about 

• distilling universal complexity down to fundamental physical properties, 
• how ideas grow into change that lead to revolution,  
• four components of the Transilience framework,  
• the social engagement of our younger generations,  
• the 3 Drivers of human behavior, 
• operating within and beyond our perceived limits, 
• and one of my favorite topics, the power of play!
