“The solution isn’t to do away with dreaming ... Rather, it’s making the most of our fantasies by brushing them up against the very thing most of us are taught to ignore or diminish: the obstacles that stand in our way.” - Gabriele Oettingen
Professor Gabriele Oettingen tears through traditional notions of motivation and success. Her 20 years of research focus on the perils of positive thinking, and the science of how focusing on obstacles has been proven to help people achieve their goals. Gabriele is the author of more than 100 articles and book chapters on thinking about the future and the control of cognition, emotion, and behavior. She is now a professor of psychology at New York University and the University of Hamburg.
In this episode we cover:
- Her WOOP framework for engineering motivation, clarity, followthrough
- Why dreaming makes you less motivated
- Why dreamers are prone to depression
- Identifying the correct obstacles in your way
You can check out her book Rethinking Positive Thinking as well as her website mywooplife.org

Inclusion – Dom Deguzman on how to create a grassroots diversity movement at your organization
This episode is on the tactics to build a diversity and inclusion movement at your organization - - everything from convening the first meeting, implementing change, structuring inclusion into the organization’s DNA, what to do when issues inevitably arise, measure diversity ROI as well as growing your own abilities to check your biases and make your community stronger.
And our Guest is Dom Deguzman who has done exactly this at Twillio where she led a grassroots movement to start a Diversity and Inclusion department. She also runs a Diversity and Inclusion group with Freada Kapor to support over 100 other Bay Area companies who do similar work.
