We continue the discussion with Harvey Seifter &amp; Fred Mandell. Harvey &amp; Fred are the founders of Creating Futures That Work, a company that uses creative arts and teaching specifically creative arts to people as a way to foster and develop innovation and the ability to work with others.  In this Part 2, Harvey and Fred share the story of how they met and what inspired them to launch Creating Futures That Work. They talk about creating an arts-based learning program and the lessons and insights they learned through the process. Harvey and Fred highlights each other’s strengths and why they were integral in starting their company. Finally, Harvey and Fred speak to the importance of reflection and provide some food for your body and soul.  Key Takeaways: 03:19 – Harvey Seifter &amp; Fred Mandell speak to the journey that led them both to launch Creating Futures That Work 07:39 – Fred’s initial interest in the Arts and the moment he realized he wanted to experiment with bringing the Arts into leadership  13:53 – Trial and error in Arts-based learning and lessons learned through the process  18:09 – Bringing their unique strengths to achieve a common goal  20:06 – The power of reflection  23:11 – Harvey and Fred share some food for your body and food for your soul  31:06 – And now here’s ‘Love Alone,’ a song written and performed by Honest Mechanik  Tweetable Quotes: “The Arts can be powerful, resonant, immersive learning experiences that are fully transferable into the secular role of leadership in organizations.” (09:37) (Fred)  “It’s a very deep, powerful kind of learning that people go through when they work with the arts. And one of the reasons is because it’s kind of a universal alphabet of creative expression. We all know how to speak this language. We all belong in this. Once we bring ourselves to it, it changes us.” (12:32) (Harvey) “Fred has always had a really powerful and wonderful focus on the power of reflection.” (20:06) (Harvey) “For my whole life the most powerful artistic food for my soul has been Mozart. And it has been throughout this time and I’m sure will be tomorrow as well.” (25:49) (Harvey)  Links Mentioned:  Dino’s Email – dino@al4ep.com  Dino’s Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/al4edp/  Dino’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/al4edp  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Website – https://authenticleadershipforeverydaypeople.com/  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/al4ep/?ref=page_internal  Creating Futures That Work Website – https://futuresthatwork.com/  Harvey’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/hseifter/  Fred’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredmandell/  Harvey’s Email – hseifter@futuresthatwork.com  Fred’s Email – fred.mandell@futuresthatwork.com  Link to ‘Love Alone’ by Honest Mechanik – https://honestmechanik.bandcamp.com/track/love-alone  This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

017 Harvey Seifter and Fred Mandell - Arts Based Experiential Learning Part 2

Harvey Seifter &amp; Fred Mandell are the founders of Creating Futures That Work, a company that uses teaching creative arts to people as a way to foster and develop the ability to innovate and collaborate with others. Harvey and Fred share each of their unique leadership journeys and lessons and insights they gleaned along the way. Harvey speaks to his experience working with Orpheus, an orchestra made famous because it’s a conductor-less orchestra. Fred shares his experience working in the Financial Services industry and how it has shifted to focus more on the consumer. They both discuss the parallels they observed between the creative process and how it impacts organizations and organizational decisions. Finally, they provide advice to executives on how to implement successful conflict resolution strategies across their organizations.  Key Takeaways: 01:38 – Today, we have a two-part episode where I’m speaking with Harvey Seifter &amp; Fred Mandell, founders of Creating Futures That Work  08:45 – Seminal moments from Harvey and Fred’s leadership journey  12:07 – Ensuring missions and shared visions get communicated to the team  16:53 – Insights gleaned from working in the conductor-less orchestra, Orpheus  24:03 – Fred speaks to how the Financial Services industry has evolved throughout the years  28:36 – Advice Harvey and Fred would give to executives on implementing conflict resolution strategies   Tweetable Quotes: “For me, theatre was an incredible laboratory into all kinds of things, but especially into leadership. The whole process of bringing a bunch of people together and taking a script and exploring it and understanding the motivations of different characters, that was a constant set of opportunities and challenges and learning experiences.” (09:03) (Harvey) “What I tried to do at the beginning of my relationship with the team, whether it was a newly formed team or an intact existing team, was share with them my aspiration that the work that we do together as a team would be the very best work experience they’d ever had.” (10:44) (Fred) “One of the hardest things is overcoming something that we’ve tended to culturally learn as a business society. And that is that you actually are helping people when you give them clear and direct feedback. And the best way to give feedback is to answer questions honestly, sincerely, directly and as helpfully as you can.” (20:03) (Harvey) “There has been, I believe, a positive shift in the relationship between the Financial Services providers and the consumer. The consumer today is much more empowered.” (25:25) (Fred) “Every time that you present an idea, you have tremendous opportunities to learn more and ultimately to make it better. And that’s where feedback comes in.” (30:51) (Harvey) “It is harder to be a leader today than at any other time that I’ve been around. And that’s because the general context within which leaders operate has become so disruptive, uncertain and complex. And the impulse in that environment too often, that I’ve been able to observe, is that leaders take the ‘ready, fire, aim’ approach. In other words they jump to action. One of the things I would encourage would be not to act right away but to reflect.” (31:44) (Fred)  Links Mentioned:  Dino’s Email – dino@al4ep.com  Dino’s Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/al4edp/  Dino’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/al4edp  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Website – https://authenticleadershipforeverydaypeople.com/  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/al4ep/?ref=page_internal  Creating Futures That Work Website – https://futuresthatwork.com/  Harvey’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/hseifter/  Fred’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredmandell/  Harvey’s Email – hseifter@futuresthatwork.com  Fred’s Email – fred.mandell@futuresthatwork.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

016 - Harvey Seifter and Fred Mandell - Arts Based Experiential Learning Part 1

Harvey Seifter is Director and Principal Investigator at Art of Science Learning and the Founder and Managing Director at Creating Futures That Work. In this week's episode, Mark and Harvey discuss a range of topics related to how the arts can spark creativity in science education and the development of an innovative 21st Century STEM workforce, including:   The investigative nature of science and the arts and the potential of ABL to foster passion for exploration and discovery in young learners. What first led Harvey to the hypothesis that incorporating arts-based learning could spark interest in science, spur innovation, and encourage collaboration in adults What Harvey's work found in terms of how the integration of ABL into science education can spur greater interest in the study of science and inspire students to want to learn more about, and potential pursue, careers in STEM fields Whether his work includes in its scope what may be happening neurologically to trigger this behavior, and if he has any theories at this point Details about the symposia and roundtables he's held at places like the Smithsonian, Illinois Institute of Technology, and California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology What fascinates him about his work What are the implications, in his view, of the connection between ABL and innovation Is art - which appeals to perhaps a different dimension than fact - an example of connection with students through emotion  Resources mentioned in the episode artofsciencelearning.org
