206) Step Into Your Leadership Energy in Preparation for the Upcoming Election

The Power of Community & Collaboration in SB Podcast

In this episode I speak with Tania Israel who is a Professor of Counseling Psychology at the UCSB and award-winning author of Facing the Fracture: The Challenges of Living in a Divided Nation. We discuss the political stress that comes up at election time and effective ways to mange it so that you can feel more empowered when you are confronted with people who might have different beliefs than your own.
Tania encourages us to tap into curiosity and compassion instead of fear and judgment, so that we can gain insight about ourselves (and our Brain BS!) and the way other people think because we are all more alike than we are different. She also gives us resources and statistics that can help us to feel supported and more optimistic about the state of our country.
Dr. Israel’s work on dialogue across political differences has been received enthusiastically by professional conferences, corporations, campuses, political organizations, and faith communities. She has shared her expertise with the TODAY show, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, and dozens of other media outlets.
