Hi there - Welcome back to the weekly Responsive newsletter! “Remember, sometimes feedback comes in very ugly wrapping—but that doesn’t mean there’s not a gift inside.” - Carole Robin, PhD
Responsive Conference 2024 is only 9 days away! We have more than 40 speakers on stage and 250 attendees coming from around the world. If you are a Founder, CEO, or People Leader, this is an event that you don't want to miss. Join us Sept. 18-19 in Oakland
With Responsive Conference 2024 coming up in just over a week, I wanted to highlight a few of the many amazing people that will be speaking in Oakland at this year’s conference. Carole Robin, PhDCarole Robin, PhD is an expert in leadership development and interpersonal dynamics. She is best known for her work at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she taught the infamous "Touchy Feeling" course on Interpersonal Dynamics. This course is considered one of the most transformative experiences for MBA students. Her expertise in this field led her to co-author the book Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues, which was featured as one of Bloomberg's Best Books of 2021. Carole will lead a 90-minute experiential demo of her "Interpersonal Dynamics" course at Responsive Conference 2024. And in anticipation, I recently had her on my podcast, Snafu. Listen to our conversation here. Joe BengfortJoe Bengfort is Enterprise Chief Information Officer at UCSF and Senior Vice President of Information Technology for UCSF Health. Joe will be on stage at Responsive to talk about what to do when faced with a large, complex organization can no longer provide the scale economically required, the adaptability to innovate, or the resiliency to remain secure. Join us for a conversation about their multi-year journey to centralize around explicit organizational structures and norms in order to decentralize decision-making and execution. Michael MelcherMichael Melcher is an author, executive coach, and lawyer. He's best known for his book Your Invisible Network: How to Create, Maintain, and Leverage the Relationships That Will Transform Your Career, which is a practical guide on building meaningful relationships. At Responsive Conference 2024, Michael will lead a session that is designed to help attendees improve their network. I recently had Michael on my podcast to talk about how to network effectively without feeling awkward. Listen to that interview here.

We’re living through unprecedented change. Ten years ago, the Responsive.org Manifesto laid out that “the rate of change continues to accelerate” and “the future is increasingly hard to predict.” Today, those principles are more relevant than ever. I know of no better way to navigate uncertainty than to gather with other executives, founders, and builders to share ideas and learn from each other to design for this rapidly changing future. We have an incredible lineup of speakers at Responsive...
Hi there - Ten years ago, the Responsive.org Manifesto laid out that “The rate of change continues to accelerate” and “The future is increasingly hard to predict.” Today, those principles are more relevant than ever. Our lives are rife with uncertainty – from the acceleration of AI to more generalized anxiety about the state of the world. This rapid rate of change provides the opportunity for impact. We have the opportunity to reinvent how we work. Established in 2016, Responsive Conference...
