In Episode 268, you will learn a simple system called "WOOP" to help you achieve your dreams or goals and help you navigate any challenges you face.   It's a simple system that I learned from Ethan Kross, one of the world's leading experts on emotion regulation. Ethan Kross, PhD, two-time National Bestselling author of SHIFT and CHATTER, is an award-­winning professor in the University of Michigan's top-­ranked Department of Psychology and Ross School of Business.   The process of shifting this conversation centers around the word WOOP. You know the song WOOP There It Is. So, what does WOOP stand for? Wish, Outcome, Obstacles, and Plan—it's as simple as that. I want you to think about a goal you may have for yourself. Most of us fall short because we don't follow through, and self-talk stops us from pursuing our dreams and goals. But not anymore; I will walk you through the WOOP system so that you can start the pathway to achieving your goals.   It's a straightforward process that puts you in the driver's seat and is simpler than you might think. W -  Wish. What wish or goal do you want to achieve?  O - Outcome. What outcome are you looking for? Is this goal worth pursuing? Next, ask yourself what will happen if you achieve this goal. What feeling or emotion will you experience? Less stress or more energy, financial freedom, or more in control? O - Obstacles. What obstacles could you face? Is it a lack of time, resources, or motivation? What is preventing you from achieving this goal?  P—Plan. The plan is what you will implement and your intentions for achieving this goal.   This plan has a question you need to ask yourself. It's called the 'If-Then' plan.   If I do this, then what can you expect? The same applies if I don't do this. What will it mean for me? It is a way to anticipate potential challenges and plan how to overcome them, ensuring you're prepared for whatever may come your way.     You will also learn that we all have mental chatter that focuses on the future or the past.  You will learn how to leverage those thoughts to your advantage.   I look forward to you WOOPING it up and getting excited about achieving your goals and dreams.  Thank you for joining me today.

For years, many companies have viewed worker wellbeing as an expense, but what if this mindset is holding them back from true success? According to Anant Nyshadham, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Good Business Lab (GBL) and Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, building a good business is more than just the profits - it's about creating meaningful change for both workers and companies.    Anant Nyshadham has spent his career proving that this vision isn't just possible, but crucial. His groundbreaking research is challenging long-held beliefs that worker well-being is merely a cost, and instead, he's demonstrating how it's a key driver of business success.    On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, we're talking with Anant about how businesses can go beyond profits and actively invest in the wellbeing of their workers. Drawing from his extensive research, Anant delves into projects like soft skills training, worker voice technologies, and organizational policies that have driven better productivity and workplace dynamics.

Brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor famously once said:“Most of us think of ourselves as thinking creatures that feel, but we are actually feeling creatures that think.”Whether it's anxiety about going to the doctor, Boiling rage when we're stuck in traffic, Devastation after a painful break-up, Joy from the birth of a child, Or peace that arises from being in natureOur emotional landscape is dynamic, complex, and often bittersweet - containing both the painful and the pleasant.And as today's guest, renowned emotion scientist, Dr. Ethan Kross writes:"As difficult as our emotions can sometimes be, they are also a superpower."In his new book: Shift: Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You, Ethan Challenges us to move away from a binary lens that views emotions simplyas being “good” or “bad.”Reminding us instead that emotions are information. And that when activated in the right ways,and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. The big question then is: How do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? How do we unlock this superpower?Ethan has devoted his scientific career to answering this question.Working closely with his team at the Emotion and Self Control Lab at the Ross School of Business,He has been leading groundbreaking research on emotion regulation and how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health, performance, decisions and relationshipsIn today's conversation:We will explore a blend of insights, stories, and practices that will shed light on what Ethan has uncovered through this work- the possibility of mastering our emotional lives in ways that allow us to live, lead, and love better. Interested in more Ethan?

And when we perceive meaningful things, it activates a loosely coordinated response within our minds and our bodies that is designed to help us manage the situations we find ourselves in. So just to make that concrete, if my view of what is right versus wrong is violated, and there's an opportunity for me to fix a situation, I'm going to experience anger. Anger is an emotion that motivates me to approach, get in there and try to fix the situation. If there's a threat on the horizon that is important to me, I'm going to experience some anxiety. I'm going to have a fight or flight response that's going to motivate me to zo...

Welcome to the second episode of Papa PhD Gold! In this riveting conversation, we have the pleasure of delving into the world of gig workers with Professor Sue Ashford from the University of Michigan, as she shares her insightful research on how these workers maintain their identity and vitality in a professional world full of uncertainties. Sue introduces us to the four key connections that experienced gig workers build to manage anxieties and thrive in their careers. This includes building supportive networks of peers or mentors, creating inspiring workspaces, identifying meaningful purposes for oneself, and establishing sustainable routines. Each of these connections plays a crucial role in sustaining creativity, productivity, and mental well-being amidst the challenges of independent work. And that is why it applies to you as a scientist. Whether you're a gig worker, an academic, or simply curious about the dynamics as an independent professional, this episode is sure to offer you valuable perspectives and actionable takeaways. Come along and dive in! Sue Ashford is the Michael and Susan Jandernoa Professor in the Management and Organizations group at the University of Michigan, Stephen M. Ross School of Business. She has previously taught at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and received her MS and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.Sue's passion is using her teaching and research to help people to be maximally effective in their work lives, with an emphasis on self-leadership, proactivity, personal growth, and leadership and its development. Her teaching at the Ross School currently focuses on the executive MBA program (negotiation) and several short-term executive education programs (leadership, change, growth). She also teaches regularly in the Leading Women Executives program of the Corporate Leadership Center and for various companies. Key take-home messages: Building Connections: Sue Ashford emphasizes the importance of connecting with people who elevate and encourage you. Whether it's a mentor, a writing group, or your spouse, these connections serve as a support system, keeping you on track and affirming your path.Creating a Space for Success: The place where you work can profoundly impact your productivity and mindset. Sue shares stories of various professionals who have tailored their workspaces to boost focus and creativity, turning their immediate environments into sources of inspiration.Finding Purpose: Understanding why you engage in your work can help you overcome the challenges of an independent career path. Sue shares her personal story of perseverance, driven by a desire to share wisdom and make an impact.Establishing Routine: If we consider routines as the "warden of accomplishment", adopting consistent habits, such as setting daily intentions and defining weekly rhythms can support us in maintaining focus and achieving our goals.Why Listen? Sue Ashford's interview reminds us that while the path of gig work can be fraught with anxiety, intentional actions focusing on connection, space, purpose, and routine can build a solid foundation for a fulfilling career.Connect with Us: Have thoughts about this episode?

What makes a brand truly meaningful in people's lives? In this captivating conversation with Dr. Marcus Collins - professor, agency strategist, and cultural marketing expert - we explore how the most powerful brands transcend their product categories to become vessels of meaning in culture.Marcus reveals why brands aren't something we construct but rather what others think of them. Through examples like Patagonia, Nike, and Beyoncé, he illustrates how brands that stand for something beyond their products create deeper connections with people. "They are not defined by what they do," Marcus explains, "They're defined by who they are and how they see the world."The discussion takes a fascinating turn when Marcus unpacks the three levels of empathy in marketing, with cognitive empathy - treating others as they want to be treated rather than how we would want - representing the highest form. This perspective shift from "how do I tap into culture?" to "how do I contribute to culture?" transforms how brands can authentically connect with people.Perhaps most provocatively, Marcus challenges the concept of brand purpose, suggesting that "conviction" provides a more powerful framework. While many brands jumped on social causes when convenient, those with true conviction stand for their principles regardless of consequences. "Speak up when you are convicted, when it really matters," he advises, noting how brands that make strategic decisions based on genuine beliefs rather than opportunism create more meaningful connections.For marketers navigating today's complex landscape, Marcus offers a profound reminder that brands exist as characters in constantly evolving cultural stories. The key to success lies not in rigid control but in authentic participation in culture with humility and curiosity. Listen now to discover how putting humanity first in your marketing can create lasting impact.About Dr Marcus CollinsDr. Marcus Collins is an award-winning marketer and cultural translator with one foot in the world of practice—formerly serving as the Head of Strategy at Wieden+Kennedy, New York—and one foot in the world of academia—as a marketing professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. Before joining Wieden+Kennedy, he served as the Chief Consumer Connections Officer at Doner Advertising and led Social Engagement at Steve Stoute's advertising agency, Translation.Over the course of his career, Marcus has developed a practice for creating culturally contagious ideas that inspire people to take action.

Tension is high this time of year, personally and politically, and award-winning University of Michigan Professor Ethan Kross is in town for a special evening to help explore how emotions work and how we can manage them. An international speaker and bestselling author, his first book, Chatter, helped readers understand how to change the "voice" in our head. And now he returns with his new book, Shift, to help readers understand how emotions form, where they come from, and how we can regulate and master them.  From our dinner tables at home to workplace conversations, emotional mastery can feel like a distant goal, but Kross says it's something we should all strive for. How can we learn to harness emotions as sources of powerful information? The term "emotional regulation" has now joined popular terminology, but what does it mean and how can we implement it at any age?  Kross is joined by local celebrated psychology reporter Jenara Nerenberg, author of Divergent Mind and the forthcoming Trust Your Mind: Embracing Nuance in a World of Self-Silencing.

Ethan Kross: Shift Ethan Kross is the author of the national bestseller Chatter and one of the world's leading experts on emotion regulation. An award-winning professor in the University of Michigan's top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he is the Director of the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory. He's the author of the new book, Shift: Managing Your Emotions--So They Don't Manage You*. Being a leader means that our emotions get triggered, often many times a day. While none of us can avoid those triggers, how we respond to them can make all the difference. In this conversation, Ethan and I explore his research on how to better manage our emotions. Key Points We often assume that approaching emotions is universally good and avoiding emotions is universally bad. Reality is much more nuanced. We can strategically use our senses to modulate our feelings. Music is a simple and powerful way to manage emotions proactively. Use playlists that align with the mood you wish to create. Using distancing language when talking to yourself (i.e. saying “you” instead of “I”) can help you regulate. Time shifting may help regulate your emotions. Ask yourself, how will I feel about this in a week? A month? A year? Different tools work for different people at different times. Experiment to help you determine what works best for you.

Here's a narrative script on the recent court trials involving Donald Trump:As we stand today, February 10, 2025, the legal landscape surrounding Donald Trump continues to unfold with unprecedented twists and turns. Just a few weeks ago, on January 8, Trump made a dramatic appeal to the Supreme Court, seeking to halt his criminal sentencing scheduled for January 10 in his New York hush money case. Trump, who was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, argued that preparing for sentencing while preparing to lead the country as President imposed an "intolerable, unconstitutional burden" on him[1].Trump's legal team, led by John Sauer, his intended nominee for solicitor general, urged the court to put the proceedings on hold to allow him to appeal. They cited the Supreme Court's decision in *Trump v. United States*, which they argued granted Trump presidential immunity that should be addressed before any further criminal proceedings. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency appeals from New York, directed prosecutors to respond to Trump's request by January 9.Despite Trump's efforts, the sentencing proceeded as scheduled, with Judge Juan Merchan granting Trump an "unconditional discharge," meaning Trump would not face any serious punishment but the fact of his conviction would remain. This decision, however, may not be the final word. Trump's legal team has been pointing to the *Trump v. United States* decision, which could potentially lead to the reversal of his New York conviction.According to Will Thomas, assistant professor of business law at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, the Supreme Court's decision in *Trump v. United States* has created a new constitutional framework that could reshape Trump's ongoing state prosecutions in New York and Georgia. The high court's ruling that evidence related to a president's "official acts" cannot be admitted in subsequent criminal cases unless prosecutors clear a high legal threshold could be crucial in Trump's appeal[3].The stage is set for Trump to challenge his New York conviction, with the Supreme Court likely to have the last word. Trump has already sought to skip to the end, asking the Supreme Court to take his case now, a request that was declined but with four conservative justices signaling their readiness to take up the issue sooner rather than later. As the legal battle continues, one thing is clear: Donald Trump's presidency is marked by unprecedented legal entanglements that will continue to cast a shadow over his term in office.

Here's a narrative script based on recent events involving Donald Trump's court trials:As we step into February 2025, the legal entanglements surrounding Donald Trump continue to unfold. Just a few weeks ago, on January 8, Trump made an urgent appeal to the Supreme Court, seeking to halt his criminal sentencing in a New York hush money case. Trump, who was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, argued that preparing for sentencing while preparing to lead the country as President imposed an "intolerable, unconstitutional burden" on him.In his 40-page filing, signed by John Sauer, Trump's intended nominee for solicitor general, Trump cited the Supreme Court's decision in *Trump v. United States*, arguing that the criminal proceedings in state court should be put on hold while his claims of presidential immunity are addressed. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency appeals from New York, directed prosecutors to respond to Trump's request by January 9.However, Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over Trump's trial, had already indicated that he did not intend to sentence Trump to jail time, instead planning to give him an "unconditional discharge." This meant that Trump would not face any serious punishment, but the fact of his conviction would remain.Despite Merchan's intentions, Trump's legal team has been working to overturn his conviction. They argue that the trial court erred by admitting evidence related to Trump's official acts, which, according to the Supreme Court's decision in *Trump v. United States*, should have been excluded unless prosecutors cleared a high legal threshold.Will Thomas, an assistant professor of business law at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, notes that this new framework has placed Trump's New York conviction in jeopardy. Trump's legal team has taken aim, pointing to language in *Trump v. United States* to argue that the conviction should be erased. The case is now headed to the New York Court of Appeals, which might agree with Trump's team that the Supreme Court's decisions require the conviction to be overturned.The Supreme Court's decision in *Trump v. United States* has transformed Trump's New York case into a federal matter, making it likely that the Supreme Court will eventually weigh in. Trump has already tried to skip to the end, asking the Supreme Court to shortcut New York's appeals courts and take his case now. While the high court declined his request, four conservative justices publicly noted their disagreement, signaling that they are ready to take up the issue of Trump's conviction sooner rather than later. The stage is set for Trump to challenge his New York conviction, and if things go his way, he may not only avoid punishment for his crimes but also stop being a criminal.

Contagious Positive Energy: The Rocket Fuel of Great Leaders Let's talk about relational energy and why it's a game-changer for organizations! With new books bursting onto the scene every year, it's like rummaging through a treasure trove of ideas. But what if we told you that the magic ingredient isn't charisma, charm, or sheer brilliance? Nope! It's all about that vibrant, uplifting energy that flows between people!   SHOW NOTES   Enter Kim Cameron from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. While diving into the dynamics of various organizations, he made an electrifying discovery: some groups were absolutely buzzing with productivity, and it wasn't just luck. What was their secret? It's what we call relational energy — that wonderful sense of positivity that comes alive during interactions. Some people ignite our spirits, while others leave us feeling a little flat. You know the ones who light up the room just by walking in? Yup, that's relational energy in action!   So, why is this so important? Leaders who radiate positive energy are like magnets, attracting motivation and enthusiasm from their teams. When you surround yourself with these energizers, the performance of the entire organization skyrockets. Think about it: when a leader embodies positivity, the whole crew vibes off that energy, leading to a healthier, happier workplace.    Now, what makes someone a true positive energizer? It boils down to a handful of essential qualities. These folks genuinely care about others, uplifting everyone around them. They show support during tough times, inspire their teams to focus on the bright side, and celebrate successes. They embrace meaningful contributions and treat everyone with respect and kindness. Most importantly, they nurture a loving relationship with themselves, ensuring they radiate that positivity outward.   Why does this all matter? Research reveals that positive energizers significantly boost engagement, lower turnover, and foster a culture of well-being. When organizations are led by these energetic dynamos, they often see a flourishing bottom line too! It turns out the positive relational energy doesn't just benefit the workplace — it's like a health potion for our brains and bodies! Studies indicate that when we soak in this vibrant energy, we reduce stress, boost our immune systems, and foster healthier connections all around us.   GOOD READS The Best Leaders Have a Contagious Positive Energy   Relational energy - what it is and why it matters to organisations

Think of it as the "gospel of consumerism”The power of "our people": Dr. Collins breaks down the phenomenon of social proof and how the people we admire, the groups we identify with, and the trends we follow, all play a huge role in our spending.The illusion of financial freedom: Dr. Collins reveals how the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality and our unconscious cultural programming can leave us feeling trapped, even when we have the right information.Navigating the cultural landscape: Dr. Collins offers tools and insights to help us become more conscious consumers, make more intentional spending decisions, and build a financial future that aligns with our own values.You'll walk away from this episode with a deeper understanding of the unseen forces influencing your spending, equipped to see through the "noise" of cultural marketing and branding, and empowered to break free from the unconscious influence of cultural norms.Links: Get Dr. Marcus Collin's book For the Culture Visit his website and follow him on Instagram  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

If one partner in a relationship holds the purse strings tightly, and the other wants to spend freely, can they co-exist? Scott Rick, marketing professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how money affects relationships, what happens when being frugal goes up against spending beyond one's means, and how two people can get on the same page when it comes to money. His book is “Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships.”

My guest this week is Dr. Scott Rick, an associate professor of marketing and author of a great book called Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships (affiliate link).  Topics we discussed included: Why our relationship with money is often complicated, no matter how much we have Where our attitudes toward money and spending come from Mental and emotional tendencies that predispose a person to being a tightwad The tendency to act more like one's parents as one moves through adulthood My own tightwad tendencies, on the tightwad-spendthrift scale The daily suffering that tightwads experience from not spending money The lack of distress that spendthrifts feel about spending money The tendency to unfairly criticize spendthrifts more than tightwads Spendthrifts shopping for things they might need The extent to which being a spendthrift or tightwad may be domain specific Possible generational or situational effects on spending attitudes and habits The experiences that tightwads often miss out on Feeling like we have more money when we're willing to spend it The tendency to treat a raise and higher cost of living differently, especially for spendthrifts Shopping momentum and what-the-hell behavior among spendthrifts Why spendthrifts tend not to learn from their overspending Why spending regret tends to be different for material things vs. experiences Personality correlates of spendthrifts and tightwads Why tightwads and spendthrifts often wind up together in romantic relationships Whether it's better for couples to have joint or separate bank accounts The degree of financial transparency that is ideal for couples Scott Rick, PhD, is an associate professor of marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Scott received his PhD in Behavioral Decision Research from Carnegie Mellon in 2007, and he then spent two years as a post-doctoral fellow at Wharton. His research focuses on understanding the emotional causes and consequences of consumer financial decision-making, with a particular interest in the behavior of tightwads and spendthrifts. The overarching goal of his work is to understand when and why consumers behave differently than they should behave (defined by an economically rational benchmark, a happiness-maximizing benchmark, or by how people think they should behave), and to develop marketing and policy interventions to improve consumers' decision making and well-being.

Many managers don't know what to say when a team member appears angry, frustrated, or sad. They might even feel it is unprofessional to acknowledge those feelings at all. But research shows that avoidance is costly. Doctoral student Christina Bradley and professor Lindy Greer, both of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, say teams perform better when their leaders respond effectively to members' emotions. The researchers outline when and how to do that in a way that builds stronger relationships, teams, and organizational culture. Bradley and Greer are coauthors, with Michigan Ross professor Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks, of the HBR article "When Your Employee Feels Angry, Sad, or Dejected."

Dr. Marcus Collins is an award-winning marketer and cultural translator with one foot in the world of practice—formerly serving as the Head of Strategy at Wieden+Kennedy, New York—and one foot in the world of academia—as a marketing professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. 
 
 His deep understanding of brand strategy and consumer behavior has helped him bridge the academic-practitioner gap for blue-chip brands and startups alike. He is a recipient of Advertising Age's 40 Under 40 award and Crain's Business' 40 Under 40 award, and an inductee into the American Advertising Federation's Advertising Hall of Achievement. Most recently, he was recognized by Thinkers50 with the Radar Distinguished Achievement Award for the idea most likely to shape the future of business management.

Over the course of his career, Marcus has developed a practice for creating culturally contagious ideas that inspire people to take action. His strategies and creative contributions have led to the launch and success of Google's “Real Tone” technology, the “Made In America” music festival, the Brooklyn Nets, and State Farm's “Cliff Paul” campaign – among others.
 
 Prior to his advertising tenure, Marcus began his career in music and tech with a startup he co-founded before working on iTunes + Nike sport music initiatives at Apple and running digital strategy for Beyoncé. 
 
 Marcus' work centers squarely on the impact of culture and the power that comes from having great cultural proximity. His best-selling book, For The Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be, examines the influence of culture on consumption and unpacks how everyone from marketers to activists can leverage culture to get people to take action. Throughout the book, he relies on literature, case studies, his work with brands, and academic data to illustrate the “whys” and the “hows” so that readers will be empowered to successfully apply these learnings in their own pursuits.
 Marcus holds a doctorate in marketing from Temple University where he studied cultural contagion and meaning-making. He received an MBA with an emphasis on strategic brand marketing from the University of Michigan, where he also earned his undergraduate degree in Material Science Engineering. He is a Forbes columnist and a trusted voice among CMOs and business leaders. But most importantly, he is a proud Detroit native, a devoted husband, and a loving father to Georgia and Ivy.

If you have ever been in a relationship, there's about a 100% chance that you and your partner had certain differences. One of those differences just may have been how you handled money. Within that difference, it is likely that one of you was bit spendy and the other was, shall we say, thriftier. This would be all fine and dandy, except often it's not. Money can be one of the biggest sources of arguments for couples. And money is funny… it can be a more charged topic and even more taboo than sex. What to do? Fear not, help is on the way! Dr. Scott Rick (https://scottrick.com/) is an associate professor of Marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. He is the author of the well-researched and hilariously titled Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships. I loved this book and I'm hardly alone—Booklist said “…It's a must-read for anyone looking to unravel the mysteries of money and love."I couldn't agree more. So, listen in as Scott and I talk about how to navigate money in our relationships.
