The World View

In this episode, we talk with Lisanne van Bunderen. A behavioral scientist, trainer, facilitator, & founder of Connectors Lab. And in short, one of the most impressive people we have got to interview on this podcast.  The topics discussed range from her company, which focuses on teaching students soft skills and relational intelligence, to Lisanne's PhD dissertation where she examined power dynamics and power struggles in teams, and everything in between.   

In this episode, Arian interviews Bilal Moosa. A person with a big heart, and valuable management, consulting, and teaching experience.  Among others, they discuss Adam Grant's book Give and Take, and whether Mr. Moosa agrees with Grant's assessment that Givers, including Mr. Moosa himself, turn out to be more successful in the longterm.  Below are the main questions asked from Mr. Moosa.  Say you are at a party, surrounded by strangers. How would you introduce yourself to them? How do you define success (in life)? How did you get to where you are today -in terms of your professional life? How would you advise me, or for that matter anybody else who is listening to this interview, to achieve success (the way you see it - your version of success)?

In this Teaser, Arian explains what the new series called Success in Life is all about - as if the title itself didn't tell the whole story.
