TeddyTalk Podcast

If you've been a client of mine any time in the last 20 years, you will have heard of Dan Harrison. You most likely completed the preference inventory he designed, and listened to me bend your ear about it. After studying in India in my 20s and traveling in China and Japan in my 30s I was well aware of the concept of yin yang theory - the completion of opposites. When I met Dan, he introduced me to the western version of this known as paradox theory and how it applied to business captured my imagination then, still does today. Dan who lives much of the time in the rainforest around Chiang Mai in northern Thailand was in LA recently and accepted my invite to have a chat about his global work around employee engagement and leadership and self-awareness.
