Transformation is hard. To be successful, it has to be human. That’s what Julie Anixter and Dan Hill mean by Business Change that Works from the Inside Out. The guests they bring forward have one thing in common - a level of mastery and a passion for making a difference. As cohosts of this new program, Julie and Dan bring a wealth of experience and credentials. Julie comes from a lineage of Chicago entrepreneurs and has built her career at the intersection of strategy, design, and enterprise change. Through work for and collaborations with individuals (Tom Peters, Seth Godin, Scottie Pippen) and organizations (The US Military, P&G, Chanel, Morgans Hotels, AIGA), among others, she has been on the front lines of innovation and co-creation. That’s her calling card. As in Dan’s case, her blue-chip clients span multiple sectors. Dan’s signature mark has been following Daniel Goleman’s lead in applying emotional intelligence (EQ) to business issues, using Dr. Paul Ekman’s facial coding research tool to capture and quantify emotional responses, radically transforming market research. He’s considered a pioneer in emotional branding. He’s also applied his craft in pro sports and current events, and served as a commentator on national TV, exploring how U.S. presidential candidates communicate and connect. Dan has authored 10 books, notably Emotionomics, a top ten selection by Advertising Age. This episode introduces Dan and Julie for who they are…first and foremost as individuals devoted to making the business world both more humane and productive - the foundation for a culture that can sustain a real transformation. Listen to this episode, and you’ll learn about their guiding principles and how they see this podcast and their other current initiatives as the capstones to their respective careers. Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.
