People ask us to do things all the time and often an initial “Yes” can be an easy (even exciting) response to give. But what about a second, third or fourth request? God too has called us to say “Yes” to him and that first “Yes” can be very liberating, but then we sometimes find it hard to continue to say “Yes” to God. We explored this dynamic on Sunday with Sue Hanna, Executive Founder of Flame Cambodia

[1:01] The RIMS-CRMP is the only competency-based risk management credential. That matters because earning the certification shows employers and recruiters that you have the skills necessary to manage risk and create value for your organization. [1:17] Several Exam Prep virtual workshops are coming up. On March 19th and 20th, this two-day course will be presented with PARIMA. The next RIMS-CRMP-FED Exam Prep Virtual Workshop will be held from April 2nd through the 4th and led by Joe Mayo. Visit the certification page on RIMS.org for more information. A link is in these show notes. [1:47] If there is a full group of employees in your organization who should earn the RIMS-CRMP, visit RIMS.org/webinars and register for the complimentary webinar, How Deloitte Leveraged the RIMS-CRMP: A Fireside Chat. A link is on this episode's show notes. [2:06] We will have leaders from the RIMS-CRMP Commission as well as leaders from Deloitte, who will speak to why they supported several of their employees in earning the RIMS-CRMP. It will be a relaxed, informational session and a lot of fun. Mark your calendars for March 15th and register! [2:26] On March 20th at 9:00 a.m., Eastern, we have another informational session about Recertification: Keep Your RIMS-CRMP Active.

[3:19] I'm so pleased to present an interview with our RISKWORLD 2024 Opening Keynote Speaker, Peter Diamandis. He's a successful entrepreneur several times over, a thought leader, and a New York Times best-selling author of four books, including Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think.  [3:39] Peter Diamandis was named by Fortune as one of the world's 50 great leaders. He is also the Founder and Executive Chairman of the XPrize Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions. He is also the Executive Founder of Singularity University. [3:55] Peter Diamandis has a lot of experience with risk and risk professionals. He's going to be one of the standout opening keynote speakers in RISKWORLD history. We'll hear about his risk philosophy, what it will take for risk professionals to become organizational leaders, and a preview of his May 6th RISKWORLD 2024 Keynote. [4:19] Peter Diamandis, welcome to RIMScast! Peter has aerospace engineering, molecular genetics, and medical degrees from MIT and Harvard. He started numerous companies in the space world and the exponential technologies world. For the last decade, his focus has been on longevity, adding decades of health to a person's life. [5:33] Peter has written several books he's proud of, focused on optimism and abundance. Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think, Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World, The Future is Faster Than You Think, a few books on longevity, and exponential organizations. [5:59] Peter has a large venture fund, Bold Capital, which has six or seven hundred million dollars. He's investing heavily in AI and longevity. A lot of his work is helping people to change their mindset, which is one of the most important and relevant things we can talk about in the realm of risk. Peter asks you to consider your mindset. [6:31] Imagine the most extraordinary leader on the planet, whomever you consider that to be. Ask yourself what got them there. Was it the money they had, their friends, technology, or was it their mindset? Peter posits that their mindset is what enabled them to be such an extraordinary leader and success. [6:58] The next question is what mindset do you have, where does it come from, and what mindset do you need for the decade ahead in this period of extraordinary accelerating exponential change? [7:41] There are a multitude of risks on the horizon at all times. Pandemics have been and will continue to be a global risk. We have risks on that scale from asteroid impacts. We have risks that are mounting in the realm of AI. We have risks from manmade biological disruptions. [8:26] People don't take into account the accelerating countervailing forces. We live in a day when individuals can come up with new strategies and technologies to combat problems. Individuals can also cause problems. [9:20] Peter defines entrepreneurs as individuals who find juicy problems and solve them and the more entrepreneurs empowered with more powerful technologies, the more problems get knocked down. Then we are left with only first-world problems. [10:02] The fundamental problem is, humans have a hard time truly judging risk accurately. The amygdala scans all of our sensory data. If it sees something that's potentially dangerous, it puts you on “red alert.” It raises your blood pressure, narrows your pupils, and gets you ready for your fight-or-flight reaction. [10:58] We tend to be easily tipped into fight-or-flight even though the chances of real danger are orders of magnitude lower. Peter describes loss of life through the violence of warfare or crime, through time. People would think from the news that we are living in the most dangerous time in history but we are living in the most peaceful time in history. [11:46] The Middle Ages were disastrous. We romanticize the past. Today, your chance of dying from a violent act is minuscule compared to what it used to be. [12:05] RIMS plug time!

[13:14] Quick shout-out to our friends at the Spencer Educational Foundation, which funds the education of next-generation risk management and insurance talent. Spencer's scholarship program is open but coming to a close on March 1st for Ph.D. applicants. [13:29] Students and risk management and insurance faculty with interest can visit Spencered.org for additional details. [13:54] Leading risk managers who are data-driven decision-makers would make good organizational leaders. Peter believes that depending on the human “gut” is no longer viable. Gut feelings based on years of experience are irrelevant. What is important is what the data shows. [14:47] Peter states that risk managers who can gather the data, analyze it, and make data-driven decisions are going to be great leaders. [15:12] Storytelling is how we convey means and ideas. We evolved as humans to tell stories and receive stories around the campfire. As long as humans are involved in a decision process, which they will be less and less in the future, an emotional connection is going to sway an individual. Great stories connect you with individuals. [15:56] If you tell a great story and connect with a person emotionally, you can sway them pro or con, yes or no, on the decision that you want. So storytelling is fundamental. All day long, Peter seeks investments. Investments are selected by an investment committee that believes in the entrepreneur and the company and what they're doing. [16:33] When you're trying to raise money, it's super important to tell a great story about “Why me? Why this? And why now?” The data will sway at least equally, if not more but today, as flesh and blood, hearts and minds, storytelling is still critically important, whether you are selling or being sold. [17:23] Peter is the opening keynote speaker at RISKWORLD 2024 on Monday, May 6th in San Diego, California. Peter says the world of risk assessment, risk balancing, and risk-taking is more important than ever before. Peter's job is to tell stories to the audience to help them understand the role they have to play. [17:44] Doing anything big and bold in the world is risky. If we take the risk out of everything, then we're stuck, stagnant, and moving backward. There needs to be a way that entrepreneurs, companies, and even governments, can take risks that have the upside potential to transform society for the better. [18:14] Peter wants to infect people with the positivity of this increasing world of abundance. A key area Peter wants to hit is that the world is getting better; we need to take risks to transform insurance. Fire insurance should prevent fires. Health insurance should keep you healthy. Life insurance should keep you alive a lot longer. [19:17] The most exciting thing about all these exponential technologies is the reinventing of business models. How do we reinvent business models not only to financially protect against the risk but also to use technology to remove the risk, if at all possible, and change the way we think about all these areas? [20:06] Peter loves Q&A. The more questions, the better. He wants to make several points. First, he wants people to see the data that the world has been improving at an extraordinary rate in terms of increased access to food, water, healthcare, and education; with reduced child mortality rates, maternal mortality rates, and violence. [20:41] When you look at the numbers, they're awesome. The question becomes … why is the world getting better on all these different dimensions? … It's not that we're getting smarter or that we have better politicians; it's the impact of technology. Peter wants to share that to begin. The next point is to talk about what's going on in the meta trends. [21:03] Meta trends are the forces that are heading our way and changing everything. The meta trend in energy is from whale oil 100 years ago to fusion energy in the near term; looking at reinventing transport with flying cars and autonomous cars; and humanoid robots coming. [21:23] Looking at longevity and the ability to add 10 to 30 healthy years to your life, and how that will impact society. Where we are with AI today and where it's going; what are the challenges? How do we think about these challenges? Everything we've ever known is about to change. [22:01] Artificial intelligence, in its current use and capabilities and how fast it's evolving, and where it's going needs to be a conversation in your board room, at your dinner table, and with your children, everywhere! [22:28] Peter's parting words: “I think the world of risk is about to be transformed and it's going to be transformed by exponential technologies, sensors, networks, AI, robotics, all of these areas; AR, VR, and blockchain, and I want to show you what's possible today and where these technologies are taking us in the next two to five years. It's awesome!” [22:49] “It's an amazing time to be alive and I think that business models, companies, and the future of the entire risk industry are going to be refined and transformed. So that's our conversation; I'm looking forward to it!” [23:07] Thank you so much, Peter Diamandis! Looking forward to seeing you!

Today I'm connecting with Peter Magnani.Peter had a long career as an executive in media and advertising, including senior roles in two “big 5” agencies — Interpublic and Omnicom.Alongside that success came a struggle with stress that in 2015 led him to learn Vedic Meditation. The change he experienced led to a fundamental shift in his focus, personally and professionally. This inspired him to found his own company and create Beam, a smart app that improves people's mental, physical, and financial health.So Speaking of Meditation, here's Peter.-----Speaking of Meditation is written and produced by Michael Miller, with direction by Jillian Lavender and assistance from Emma Rae.Editing by James Green at Green Podcast Productions.https://www.greenpodcastproductions.com/Original music by Rich Jacques.https://www.richjacques.comGraphics by Elle and Elle.http://www.elleelle.comSpeaking of Meditation… What are you noticing?

We're often told not to take advice blindly, and this is especially true for productivity advice. The rise-and-grind schedule might work for a Lark, but it's a recipe for a disaster if you're a Night Owl. Sourcing ideas from people you admire is a great start, but you need to run your own experiments to figure out which ideas actually work for you. That is, unless your partner is a chronic experimenter! Frances Frei, a professor at Harvard Business School, doesn't run experiments because she doesn't need to. Her wife, Anne Morriss, runs them herself, and shares the best practices and ideas with Frances. As well as being Frances' wife and most valuable productivity resource, Anne is a leadership couch and the Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium. Frances and Anne share their favourite tools for staying focused, productive and present, including their yearly “visioning” process, their methods for building trust, and the best career advice they;ve ever received. Connect with Frances and Anne on LinkedIn***Pre-order your copy of Time Wise at amantha.comConnect with me on the socials:LinkedinTwitterInstagram  If you're looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a fortnightly newsletter that contains three cool things I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.

This month we will be sharing some of the best episodes from our archive and we are starting with one of our biggest blockbusters - an interview with Frances Frei and Anne Morriss. When Google, Uber, WeWork, Riot Games or other high-growth companies need help with their culture and leadership, they call Frances Anne. Frances Frei is a Professor of Technology and Operations Management at Harvard Business School and her wife, Anne Morriss, is the Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium. They supported a growing list of companies with culture change and wrote a wonderful book on leadership called Unleashed, The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. Just a note: This episode is a rerun and was recorded in January 2021.

“My superpower is asking questions, and that's pretty good training for just about anything,” says Raise the Line guest Esther Dyson. She has decades of experience as an advisor to and investor in companies in a wide range of sectors -- from education, to healthcare, to information technology. Her current focus is Welville, an organization she founded that's running a 10 year project aimed at developing models to improve health in small communities. “We're basically a coaching organization. We're not giving them fish and we're not teaching them how to fish. We're helping them build their own fishing schools.” Tune in to this episode of Raise the Line to hear Dyson speak with Osmosis Co-Founder Shiv Gaglani about her fascinating career witnessing the birth of the high-tech era and her nonprofit's current proposal to improve the health literacy of underprivileged children in Muskegon, Michigan by getting them involved in measuring their own glucose. Their ultimate goal? To help communities become healthier and more equitable places, and inspire other communities to do the same. Listen in to find out why Dyson believes the inability to think long-term has caused so many of our problems, and why the “human infrastructure” investments being contemplated n Washington are so important.

In this episode of ExPEERience, it's time to look at the realities of delivering great CX in a digital space. How can you make your customers feel connected to your brand through non-human interactions? How far can you go with personalization before it gets “creepy”? And how do you give customers the same experience across multiple platforms? To help answer these questions, I reached out to some great CX leaders from around the world:Marwan Dimas, Group Marketing and Communications Director for Power International Holding, says that designing digital and physical experiences with universal human principles in mind will lead to meaningful experiences.Jay Baer, of Convince and Convert, believes that brands who claim technology limits their ability to be interesting are just using technology as an excuse to actually be disinteresting.Shep Hyken, the Chief Amazement Officer at Shepard Presentations, talks about the need for the switch between human-powered and digital-powered, to be seamless and frictionless.Blake Morgan, customer experience futurist and author, tells me that in a world where B2B is changing to “B-to-me,” smart brands are using technology to make the lives of their customers easier and better.Tom Cheesewright, author and applied futurist, explains that today's customers are not benchmarking you against your direct competitors. They are benchmarking your brand against the best of their digital interactions. Bruce Temkin, head of the Qualtrics XM Institute, discusses the role experience management plays and suggests brands need to apply even more experience management into their digital activities next year than they've done this year.Anne Morriss, Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium, says that brands that rely on empathy and transparency can strike the balance between personalization and privacy that customers appreciate.Frances Frei, professor at Harvard Business School, shares a simple litmus test to determine which brands actually have empathy with their customers and which are all about themselves.And that's just a start!On the next episode of ExPEERience, the topic is the future of CX. How will advances in technology change what your customers expect from you? And what will those experiences look like tomorrow?I would like to thank the team responsible for the creation and production of ExPEERience: SAP Executive Producer, Melissa Lange; our production partners at Simpler Media, Evo Terra and Sam Walker; and the SAP team Ana Amman, Tram Anh Nguyen, Tara Sorman, Molly Breene, and Amber Hatfield. I'm Paula Hansen, Chief Revenue Officer for SAP Customer Experience and the host of ExPEERience. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, I've assembled a global cast of outstanding customer experience leaders to discuss the transformational effect a rich and robust community can have on the customer experience your brand delivers. Here's just a taste:Tony Ambroza, Chief Brand Officer with Carhartt, tells me that a community-centric perspective was built into the company more than 130 years ago and continues to be what sets his company apart today.Brett Frazer, Vice President of Customer Service at Sunbasket, shares how they have tapped into the experiential knowledge aptitude of their best customers to help service other customers with great success.Frances Frei, professor at Harvard Business School, encourages brands with highly configurable products and services to leverage their customers, who often have specific experiences with and answers to tricky customer service inquiries.Anne Morriss, Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium, says brands must find ways to capitalize on the peer-to-peer interactions customers have with each other as they interact with a brand.Adrian Swinscoe, author and customer experience advisor, cautions brands to not fall into the trap of assuming they're the experts for their own product or service, because it is actually the brand's customers who are the true experts.Dan Gingiss, CX coach and keynote speaker, suggests brands take the bold step of asking customers why they choose to do business with the brand rather than the brand's competitors, to uncover which differentiating factors the community cares most about.And that's just a start!On the next episode of ExPEERience, we'll talk about how brands need to respond when, not if, things go wrong. When mistakes happen, the relationship with your customer comes under threat. But done right, great CX can build trust, increase loyalty, and turn your unhappy customer into a lifelong fan.I would like to thank the team responsible for the creation and production of ExPEERience: SAP Executive Producer, Melissa Lange; our production partners at Simpler Media, Evo Terra and Sam Walker; and the SAP team Ana Amman, Tram Anh Nguyen, Tara Sorman, Molly Breene, and Amber Hatfield. I'm Paula Hansen, Chief Revenue Officer for SAP Customer Experience and the host of ExPEERience. Thank you for listening.

Today, we're looking at how attention to great customer experience can preserve or even strengthen that relationship when things go wrong. What happens when an order goes missing, a new purchase breaks, or an event is ruined. No company is immune to a crisis and it's at times like these when your relationship with your customer comes under threat. Here's who I've invited to share their thoughts on this crucial moment:Anne Morriss, Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium, talks about what she calls the “trust wobble” and how powerful it is when brands learn to diagnose and address it.Frances Frei, professor at Harvard Business School, details the “levers of trust” and how most trust problems are a combination of authenticity, logic, or empathy.Shep Hyken, the Chief Amazement Officer at Shepard Presentations, explains his concept of “the extra question” and how it can stop customer conflict before it happens.Brett Frazer, Vice President of Customer Service at Sunbasket, shares the role his data science team plays in identifying “trigger points” to resolve so customers are led to loyalty.Jon Picoult, of Watermark Consulting, says great companies recognize that over-correcting on the recovery actually creates more loyalty with customers post-recovery than they had before the crisis.Dan Gingiss, CX coach and keynote speaker, tells the story of why one online retailer is so focused on their long game and why they are willing to lose money on a single transaction to make a customer for life.Steve Bayliss, brand expert and Chief Creative Officer for Sky in New Zealand, wants you to find the “bing-bong” in your business and see what happens when you turn it off for a day!Bruce Temkin, head of the Qualtrics XM Institute, shares how one brand made several pivots during the COVID-19 pandemic to adapt on-the-fly to their customers' changing needs.And that's just a start!On the next episode of ExPEERience, we'll discuss the realities of delivering exceptional customer experience in the digital space. How do you create a strong relationship with your customer through non-human interactions? How do you ensure consistency in your CX between in-person and digital transactions? And can personalization go too far?I would like to thank the team responsible for the creation and production of ExPEERience: SAP Executive Producer, Melissa Lange; our production partners at Simpler Media, Evo Terra and Sam Walker; and the SAP team Ana Amman, Tram Anh Nguyen, Tara Sorman, Molly Breene, and Amber Hatfield. I'm Paula Hansen, Chief Revenue Officer for SAP Customer Experience and the host of ExPEERience. Thank you for listening.

Leaders must have inclusion as part of their arsenal today.  We can create an inclusive culture. The key thing about culture is that we want the culture to change because we want behaviors to change. So if you want to shift in behavior, we need a shift in thinking.  In this episode, Kevin Withane speaks with Frances Frei and Anne Morriss, coauthors in life and work, whose most recent book, UNLEASHED: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You, is the most definitive guide to leadership today.

Kristo Käärmann (Executive Founder of TransferWise) gives the afternoon keynote at Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum 2018.

Many American workers are unwell. They live with serious economic insecurity; succumb to diabetes, depression, and addiction at alarming rates; and struggle to balance the conflicting needs of their employers, their families, and their own well-being. That outlook won’t improve until we think of health as the driver of prosperity — not just the product of it. In the U.S., we spend extravagantly on treating illness but spend proportionally less on keeping people healthy than most developed nations. But research shows a strong correlation between healthy communities with little economic disparity and healthy economies. People live longer in the nation's more equal states. What can we do to change the country's focus from health care as a cost with limited returns, to health as an investment that pays off over the long term — socially and economically? How can we better elevate health as a policy priority? Join New America NYC for a conversation on the future of health and wellness — and what both governments and the private sector can do to improve its outlook. PARTICIPANTS Esther Dyson @edyson Executive Founder, Way to Wellville, and health investor   Dr. Herminia Palacio @HerminiaPalacio Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, City of New York Manmeet Kaur @ManmeetKaurNY Founder and Executive Director, City Health Works Melanie Lavelle @Mglavelle Founder, Benefit Kitchen Dan Goldberg @DanCGoldberg Senior Health Reporter, Politico

Esther Dyson is perhaps one of the most coveted investors of our time….Not only does she have an impeccable track record (including investments in MeetUp, Evernote, Square, 23andMe, LinkedIn, Facebook, Startup Health, HealthLoop, Patients Like Me, and dozens of others), but her insatiable thirst to explore the impossible and the undiscovered makes her un-matched in her ability to identify opportunity where others do not. On this episode, we get into the mind of Esther’s core investment philosophy, explore the influences of her upbringing, and discuss her quest to make health profitable through her latest venture, Way to Wellville. We discuss why asking the right questions is key to solving the mysteries of business, why our health system is so broken, and what we can do to help course correct an industry that has repeatedly failed us. All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Esther Dyson Esther Dyson is a Swiss-born American journalist, author, businesswoman, investor, commentator and philanthropist. She is a prominent angel investor focused on breakthrough startups in healthcare, government transparency, digital technology, biotechnology, and space. Esther Dyson is currently focusing her career on health as the Executive Founder of WaytoWellville, an initiative focused on investing in health as an asset. The goal is to build networks through community organizing to increase access to and use of beneficial services, activities and resources to improve the health of residents in five model communities. Ultimately, Dyson hopes to utilize big data to demonstrate the economic value of investing in health and affect large scale change. After graduating from Harvard with a BA in economics, Dyson began her career as a fact-checker for Forbes before heading to Wall Street where she worked as an analyst. This led to a partnership with Ben Rosen in the emerging personal computer and online world. She bought Rosen Research in 1983 and renamed it EDventure Holdings. After 25 years with the company, Dyson sold it and pursued an interest in angel investing and health care. Dyson is unmatched in her ability to identify opportunity where others do not, and she is currently on a mission to make health profitable. Key Interview Takeaways Ask good questions. Dyson credits her success to an ability to craft the right questions and listen to the answers with a truly open mind. She believes that her true education began after she finished college (where you learn about things people already know) and became a reporter, working to discover the things people didn’t already know. We must shift our focus from health care to health. Dyson argues that health care is expensive and remedial, a function of chasing after our health once we’ve already lost it, whereas health is the capacity of the human body and mind to renew itself. Zip code determines individual health more than any other factor. Too many Americans are born into an environment that destroys their health rather than building it. WaytoWellville seeks to transform the health ecosystem in five communities, providing a prototype to initiate large scale change. To affect change, people must be accountable for making it happen. Dyson contends that much like building a physical bridge, building a community that is conducive to health requires standards, workers, a budget, deliverables, etc. Meaning well is not enough. To overcome the challenge of personal accountability, peer groups must be led by members of their own community. A network of support at the neighborhood level is the only way to change behavior, thus WaytoWellville helps communities launch and run their own programs. If we invested in health rather than health care, costs would go down. Dyson is working to make the economic case for investing in programs aimed at providing health coaches to help people understand how to take care of themselves and their children long before they need an expensive high-end p...

With a view that media is only the medium to solve the problems of society and end conflict I studied mass communication and Journalism of major subject of a college. While studying I came to be In touch with countries and people problems. During this period I also got chance to serve for the people as publisher at "Vaskar Pakshik News Paper" and as senior editor.
