Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well

Let's talk about the magic that is improvisation, or what us cool kids call "improv." It's an art form that's all about unleashing your creativity and performing without a script or plan. Sure, you may have heard of it as a side-splitting comedy act, but improv goes a lot deeper than that. From acting to business to mental health, improv skills can be applied in various areas of life.  Enter Kelly Leonard, the VP of Creative Strategy, Innovation, and Business Development at the infamous Second City in Chicago. Kelly, who over the decades has produced hundreds of original revues with comedians such as Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, and Seth Meyers (to name a few) has a unique understanding of behavioral science through the lens of improv.   Regaling us with lessons and stories from his career and book, ‘Yes And', we learn how to utilize improv to help us adapt, empathize, communicate, trust, and collaborate better. We are reminded that saying ‘yes' to new ideas and experiences sparks creativity and can lead to beneficial outcomes. From deepening our relationships with others by practicing active listening and learning to accept and appreciate new ideas, regardless of their origin. It also teaches us to think on our feet and work together to create innovative solutions to problems. Listen and Learn:  How Stephen Colbert came to write a blurb for Kelly's book, Yes, and: How Improvisation Reverses No, But Thinking and Improves Creativity and Collaboration Why so many successful comedy performers have an improv background  How improv skills can help us to empathize, communicate and collaborate The idea of the ‘Yes And' exercise  Why Kelly prefers to use the word ensemble vs. team  Improv's positive impact on caregiver burden and depression An introduction to the ‘I Am Somebody Who' exercise Why adopting a Yes And mentality helps create a psychologically safe environment How improv can be applied in therapy  If improv were an animal, what animal would it be?  What's next for Kelly's work in science and the arts  Resources:  Learn more about Kelly: https://www.secondcity.com/people/kelly-leonard+ Get your copy of Yes, And: How Improvisation Reverses No, But Thinking and Improves Creativity and Collaboration: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780062248541 Check out The Second City website: https://www.secondcity.com/ Listen to Kelly's podcast, Getting to Yes And: https://www.secondcityworks.com/podcast About Kelly Leonard  Kelly Leonard is the Executive Director of Learning and Applied Improvisation at Second City Works.

He has presented at The Aspen Ideas Festival, The Code Conference,TEDx Broadway, Chicago Ideas Festival, The Stanford Graduate School of Business and for companies such as Coca Cola, Microsoft, Twitter, Memorial Sloan Kettering and DDB Worldwide.  Kelly co-created an initiative with the Center for Decision Research at the Booth School at the University of Chicago, The Second Science Project, that looks at behavioral science through the lens of improvisation.

In this conversation, Diane Bruno, a funeral director, and author, shares the story of her many transitions in life. She also talks about the importance of journaling to help you process your emotions and build your legacy. She discusses how journaling can be beneficial for both oneself and loved ones. Diane also tackles how technology has made learning new things easier than ever and how anyone can access information and courses regardless of age or experience. She believes that boomers make great life coaches because of our life experiences, which make us well-equipped to provide guidance to others.   Let's get to know more about Diane Bruno's passion.   I am an accomplished communications professional who knows how to craft messages that resonate with their intended audience. With over twenty years of experience in the communications field, I have witnessed it all and have been on the cutting edge of constant change. From the advent of the first corporate websites and intranets and throughout the evolution of social media technologies, all organizations have one goal in common, the desire to speak effectively to their internal and external audience.   I launched my career at DDB Worldwide (part of Omnicom Group), one of the most influential and sought-after agencies in the advertising arena, with a focus on press materials and releases, executive communications, employee engagement, copywriting, corporate social responsibility, and more. The trajectory of my career has been an interesting and diverse migration. From the corporate communications arena to the funeral industry and back around, the one constant that has endured is my passionate love for the written word.   Respect, empathy, clarity, validation, and appreciation need to be a part of every written message.

In the mid-1980s, his entrepreneurial career began with freelance work for such major New York shops as Chiat/Day, Della Femina and Kirshenbaum & Bond. His work on the Kenneth Cole account resulted in awards and national press.In 1988, Follis co-founded Follis&Verdi, with clients such as The American Stock Exchange, No Excuses Jeans, Solgar Vitamins and Sorrell Ridge Fruit Spreads—a case taught at the Harvard Business School and featured in Forbes. In ‘93, Follis/DeVito/Verdi won 9 ADDY Awards making it the second most awarded agency in New York. That same year Follis formed Follis Inc to include a focus on non-traditional and online marketing. In 2003, in response to the shifting media landscape and to provide an alternative to the traditional ad agency model, Follis created "Follis Marketing Therapy". And, in 2006, Follis created "The Follis Marketing Report" blog and "The Marketing Show with John Follis" podcast syndicated on iTunes. How did you get started in advertising and marketing all those years ago?Well, first of all, thank you for having me on your show. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. So yeah, I started a while ago and I was always good creatively growing up as a kid. The question was how to question was how do I apply that creative talent to a career? And I was probably halfway through college when I got pulled aside by an instructor who was teaching a graphic design class and she asked me what I wanted to do with my life. And when I said I wasn't sure if she said, Well, I think you are to really seriously consider pursuing something either in advertising or communication arts or some kind of media because you're really really talented. So had it not been for that instructor? I'm not sure I would have pursued that. But you know, that helped a lot. And after she gave me that idea, I transferred to a university Syracuse University that had one of the best advertising programs in the country. So that's how I started on that track.Where are you in Chicago first or New York first.John's response:So I grew up in Connecticut, and I was I was going to school in upstate New York and Syracuse and then after graduation, I didn't feel I was ready for New York City, even though that is the mecca of advertising as some of your listeners may know. They call it Madison Avenue. But I was I was a little intimidated by New York so did not go there. Like many of my classmates did it and started out my career in Atlanta, Georgia, two years in Atlanta. Then I got felt that wasn't fast enough for me. So I moved up to Chicago, spent three years there and after that, I felt like I was ready for the for the big leagues and moved to New Yorkhttps://www.follisinc.com/therapy.htmhttps://www.youtube.com/c/JohnFollisBIV

Very few of our guests have a nickname or a tagline, but Jim Morris does: Tagline Jim. He's worked as a copywriter and creative director at ad agencies like FCB and DDB Worldwide and as a freelance copywriter for 25 years. Jim is responsible for dozens of successful taglines, including We are Flintstones Kids, Ten Million Strong and Growing, the cornerstone of one of the longest-running ad campaigns of the last half century. Listen in as we discuss whether taglines have become obsolete with the rise of social media, why they have fallen out of grace with marketers in recent years, and why so many taglines don't really mean anything. Jim also shares his views on why there is so much bad advertising in the market and the reasons behind it, including the impact of groupthink, lawyers, and neuromarketing in the advertising space.

Advertising is an industry built around the concept of 'leaving your mark.' Global CEO of Denstu International, former CEO of DDB Worldwide, and marketing master Wendy Clark sits down with me to talk about her personal story and making her mark in the wake of the pandemic. My longtime friend and colleague from our days at The Coca-Cola Company, Wendy shares lessons around the evolution of confidence and how she went from feeling "improbable" to finding purpose, empowerment, and enlightenment by inserting that apostrophe — and declaring unequivocally, "I'm probable." We cover everything from crossing the pond and coming to America, to why she says failure is a 'bruise' and not a tattoo, to how rejection became her calling card for resilience.You can find me on social onInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lisaborders/Twitter - https://twitter.com/Lisa_M_Borders

“A brand story should be built on a good narrative.” Jeff Swystun has built his career helping brands tell their stories. His career alone is storied with time at DDB and Interbrand. He’s also author fo the new book Why Marketing Works. We talked about why branding, marketing, and stories work this week on the On Brand podcast. About Jeff Swystun Jeff Swystun is a consulting CMO working with leading brands and brands that want to lead. Prior, Jeff was Chief Communications Officer at DDB Worldwide and Chief Marketing Officer at Interbrand. A prolific speaker and writer, Jeff has appeared at over 100 conferences in over 25 countries. He is the author of The Brand Glossary; The Brand Marketers Report; Best Global Brands; Best Canadian Brands; and Best Chinese Brands, and the new book Why Marketing Works. Over 100 publications have featured Jeff including The Wall Street Journal, Advertising Age, Fast Company, Rolling Stone, and Managing Intellectual Property. He is a marketing expert for CNBC, USA Today, Toronto Star, and BNN. Episode Highlights “The tighter the brief, the better the result.” Measuring branding and marketing efforts is a challenge. And, all too often, it’s a challenge saved for the end of the process. Jeff reminded us that goals and metrics should be baked into every good creative brief. Why do we need another marketing book? Jeff posed this very question as he considered writing a book. However, a trip to the local farmer’s market seeing vendors literally taking their wares to market served as a catalyst. This led Jeff to unearth classic marketing stories including the origins of Gillette and Nabisco, which he uses to illustrate the seven timeless principles in his new book Why Marketing Works. “Brand strategy brings business strategy to life.” Jeff shared this quote which was a staple during Jeff’s time at Interbrand. Another great quote Jeff reminded me of … “Our business is furious plagiarism,” Mark Twain once said. In the spirit of my fellow Midwesterner, I’m going to plagiarize this quote. What brand has made Jeff smile recently? “I love what LaCoste has done lately.” Jeff shared the story of how the iconic brand first broke into the American market and how they're redefining their brand in the modern era by building awareness for endangered crocodiles.

Jeff Swystun who in a previous life was the CMO at Interbrand, and the CCO at DDB Worldwide. He then saw the light, escaped the cubicle and went out on his own to become a consulting CMO to brands wanting to lead. But where it gets interesting is Jeff has just released a book called Why Marketing Works, in which he identifies through a mountain of his own roll-up-the-sleeves research, 7 timeless principles that well and truly prove his thesis. Rest-assured, his 7 principles apply to businesses of all sizes, industries, and types of business, whether you're selling B2B, B2C or my favourite P2P!
