Whether you're a leader or a manager, the chances are that you occasionally (or regularly) find yourself dealing with difficult situations. Coaching is an increasingly popular way of helping people develop the skills, habits, and mindsets needed to reach their full potential by better understanding themselves, their goals, and the situations they encounter. Today’s guest is Dr. Richard Levin. Richard is widely recognized as one of the first executive coaches. He is one of a half-dozen global leaders who have created and shaped the coaching profession since its inception in the 1980’s. As the founder and principal of Richard Levin & Associates (the first executive coaching firm, and the first network of independent executive coaches); as co-author of the popular and powerful book Shared Purpose: Working Together to Build Strong Families and High Performance Companies; and as a founder of Boston University’s Center on Work and Family, Richard has stretched the boundaries of creativity, inclusiveness, and collaboration to build extraordinary organizations. Richard and I talk about coaching - what coaching is, how it's different from therapy or advising, who should get coaching, the future of coaching, and what to do if you or a team member want coaching but your organizanization doesn't have the budget for it.

"The understanding is it's the state's responsibility to set up a school system with proper funding that will meet the needs of all the kids across the state. We've got 610 school districts, which is a lot even for a state our size, which is 11 million people, and that creates two concerns about the funding formula - one is adequacy and one is equity."Featured guest: Howard Fleeter, economist & Ohio Education Policy Institute consultant  Dr. Howard B.

Seguramente recordarás el tremendo enredo del hombre estrangulado que viajaba en un ascensor, sujeto por Richard Levin y Laura. Los dos mantenían el cadáver de pie, apretándolo contra las paredes metálicas, pero todo se había complicado con la aparición de un vecino del noveno piso que intentaba entrar en el ascensor. No cesa de preguntar: ¿por qué tiene la cara tan gris? ¿Y esa mirada fija? ¿No puede sostenerse en pie?Hay que pensar un plan para deshacerse del cadáver. Richard y Laura suben a casa de Peter y, cuando parece que nada puede ir peor, una visita inesperada hace que todo termine de complicarse. Este es el último episodio de 'Conflicto para cuatro' una serie de Historias de medianoche escrita por Pablo de Aldebarán e interpretada por José María Escuer, Rosa María Belda y Francisco La Hoz.

Resultó que el banquero al que habían secuestrado Peter Osbourne y el señor Levin y por el que pedían 300.000 dólares, resultó ser un mayordomo vulgar y silvestre. Y el precio de un mayordomo, por muy útil que sea, no estaba bien cotizado. Así que Osbourne aceptó la dirección de un plan de ventas de bonos agrícolas que le ofreció un oscuro individuo de negocios bancarios.Finalmente resultó que los bonos eran falsificados por lo que Levin acabó en la cárcel y Osbourne en una clínica psiquiátrica. Un año después, en una fría noche de diciembre, Levin entra a un bar. Parece que los problemas andaban buscando a nuestro protagonista porque allí mismo se encuentra con Peter Osbourne. Hablando con la hermana de éste, Laura, Richard Levin se da cuenta de que su viejo amigo ha perdido totalmente el juicio. Es muy probable que hasta se haya escapado del manicomio.A la ecuación se une Frank Berlango, el hombre que les llevó a la cárcel por los bonos falsificados. Esta vez Berlango vuelve con una nueva proposición, un nuevo negocio ¿será de fiar?Este es el tercer de cuatro episodios que componen 'Conflicto para cuatro' una serie de Historias de medianoche escrita por Pablo de Aldebarán e interpretada por José María Escuer, Rosa María Belda y Francisco La Hoz.

Richard Levin tenía 28 años y un fuerte dolor de estómago por no haber probado bocado en todo el día. Allí, en aquella esquina en la 2nd Avenue del centro de Los Ángeles, no sabía que decisión tomar con los cinco dólares que le quedaban en el bolsillo. Podía comer algo y llenar el estómago o sentarse en la cómoda silla del barbero a que le afeitaran aquella barba desastrosa. Finalmente decidió  ir a la peluquería y el destino quiso que, en la puerta, se encontrara con su viejo amigo Peter Osbourne.Richard estaba pasando un mal momento, sin trabajo y sin dinero, pero Peter llegaba para cambiarle la vida y proponerle hacerse socios. Aquella noche los dos amigos fueron a cenar juntos al viejo apartamento de Peter, donde vivía con su hermana Laura. Los tres recordaron divertidas anécdotas que vivieron en el pasado, rieron y bebieron. Richard iba recuperando, con cada bocado, el entusiasmo por la vida, las ganas de hacer cosas, la esperanza de un futuro mejor.Peter se puso serio, tocaba hablar de negocios y advierte a Richard de que lo que le va a proponer es un negocio sucio, al margen de la ley ¿tráfico de armas? ¿de drogas? Pero no se trataba de eso, se trataba de algo con más riesgo: el tráfico de personas. Peter le propone a su viejo amigo que, junto con Laura, lleven a cabo un secuestro. ¿Aceptará Richard el negocio?Este es el primero de cuatro episodios que componen 'Conflicto para cuatro' una serie de Historias de medianoche escrita por Pablo de Aldebarán e interpretada por José María Escuer, Rosa María Belda y Francisco La Hoz.

John DeStefano Jr., outgoing mayor of New Haven, and Richard Levin, outgoing president of Yale University, reflect on their 20-year partnership to knit together university and city. At the close of the DeStefano-Levin era, we ask: What is the legacy of this extraordinary partnership? What will it mean for New Haven’s future? Moderated by Douglas Rae, Richard S. Ely Professor of Management & Professor of Political Science. John DeStefano, Jr. John DeStefano, Jr. was sworn in as the 49th Mayor of New Haven on January 1, 1994. He is serving his 10th term in office. Mayor DeStefano has worked hard and successfully to strengthen the academic achievement of public school students, to build a vibrant mixed use city center, a competitive economic base, strong neighborhoods and a community culture of traditional values and social tolerance. During Mayor DeStefano’s tenure virtually every public school has been rebuilt under the $1.5 billion Citywide School Construction Program. Key features of the school construction program have supported universal pre-k services, the largest inter-district enrollment and magnet school program in the State, college level lab and technology facilities and great architecture. In 2009, the Mayor and school board, of which he is a member and the appointing authority, announced the School Change Initiative. Supported by a ground breaking agreement with the New Haven Federation of Teachers, the City has launched a reform initiative whose key strategies are a portfolio approach to school management, a focus on teacher talent through a progressive teacher evaluation construct and a commitment to see that every child has the aspiration and is prepared for and able to complete college. Since taking office in 1994 the City center has undergone a dramatic transformation into a mixed use community of some 12,000 residents. Anchored by the Mayor’s support of University, Hospital and medical center expansion, New Haven has emerged as a national center of life and bio science businesses. Downtown commercial, residential and retail occupancies stand at record lows. In 2010 the US Department of Transportation announced funding of the Downtown Crossing project which will remove a 1960’s era limited express highway that has divided the central business district from the City’s principal rail station and rapidly growing medical research, clinical and office district. The project will double the size of the downtown. Neighborhoods have been strengthened as the city has managed housing stock to mixed income and use models, promoted commercial corridors, street smart infrastructure and public improvements. The City has decentralized police management districts, promoted the use of neighborhood based collaborations and a robust civic culture. That civic culture has resulted in a welcoming and inclusive community through initiatives such as the Elm City Resident Card that provides identification cards and access to public services for all residents of the City. Under the Mayor’s leadership, the City has sponsored the organization and capitalization of a community development bank whose mission supports the unbanked and promotes financial literacy. New Haven boasts an incredibly vibrant culture of economic and social entrepreneurship. Mayor DeStefano has served as the President of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and the National League of Cities, the oldest and largest organization representing America’s cities and towns. During his tenure New Haven has been named an ‘All America City’ three times. Mayor DeStefano is the son of a New Haven police officer and a lifelong City resident. John and his wife Kathy DeStefano met at the University of Connecticut as undergraduates, where he also earned a Masters in Public Administration. Kathy is a first grade teacher and they are the parents of two sons. Richard C. Levin Richard C. Levin, Frederick William Beinecke Professor of Economics, has been Yale’s President since 1993. He received his B.A. from Stanford University in 1968 and studied politics and philosophy at Oxford University, where he earned a B.Litt. degree. He received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1974 and joined the Yale faculty. Before becoming president, he chaired the economics department and served as dean of Yale’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. In August, Mr. Levin announced that he will step down as President of the University at the end of the current academic year, his twentieth year of service. Exciting ventures to improve the University locally, nationally, and internationally have been a hallmark of Mr. Levin’s presidency. Close to home, his goals have included improving the campus infrastructure, and the University has invested over $5 billion in the renovation and construction of its facilities. Strengthening connections to the City of New Haven has led to innovative partnerships that have advanced economic development and encouraged home ownership in the City. In fall 2010, Yale joined with the Community Foundation of Greater New Haven and the City to announce New Haven Promise, a visionary scholarship and support program for city residents who graduate from a public school in the city and attend college in Connecticut. In mid-June 2007, the University purchased the Bayer HealthCare complex, a property with over 500,000 square feet of state-of-the-art research space, as well as office buildings, warehouses and other facilities. Launching and enhancing international initiatives has been another priority. All Yale undergraduates now have the opportunity to study or participate in internships abroad. Several years ago, need-based financial aid became available for all international students in Yale College as it has been for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Mr. Levin has established numerous educational and research partnerships in China and India. On March 31, 2011, the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Yale announced that Yale-NUS College would be established in Singapore, providing a new model of liberal arts education for Asia. Mr. Levin is recognized as an advocate and leader of the role of higher education in local and global sustainable development. He established an Office of Sustainability in 2005, and that year endorsed an aggressive greenhouse gas reduction target and strategy for the University. Mr. Levin serves on President Obama’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. He is a trustee of the Hewlett Foundation, a director of ClimateWorks, American Express, and C3, and a member of the National Committee on United States-China Relations. He served on a bipartisan commission to recommend improvements in the nation’s intelligence capabilities and he co-chaired a major review of the nation’s patent system for the National Academy of Sciences. President Levin holds honorary degrees from Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Peking, Tokyo, and Waseda universities and Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Richard Levin and his wife, Jane, have lived in New Haven throughout their more than 40 years at Yale. They have four children and seven grandchildren. Douglas Rae (moderator) Douglas Rae is a student of the interface between business and government. He has served on the Yale faculty since 1967, chairing the political science department during the 1980s. He took public service leave in 1990 and 1991 to serve as chief administrative officer of New Haven during a crisis period. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, was a fellow of Stanford’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, a fellow of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, and has received numerous honors and prizes for his research. He has consulted widely and variously to the parliaments of Spain, Italy, & the Netherlands Antilles, select corporate leaders, to numerous American cities and universities, and to the BBC. At Yale, he has held leadership positions and board memberships with the University Library, Yale University Press, the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, the Division of Social Sciences, the Department of Athletics, and Yale SOM. In 2010, Mr. Rae was awarded the Mory's Cup in recognition of his service to Yale.
