Join Andy Miller as he continues our series of episodes on the topic of change. In a previous episode, we talked with Katy Milkman about her book How to Change, which provided some helpful insights into the behavioral science of change. Then we talked with Gary Lloyd about his book Gardeners Not Mechanics to get practical insights on how to lead change in organizations.
We wanted to add one more episode in the series to focus on a key aspect of what we need to do as leaders: help others to change.
Peter Bregman and Howie Jacobson have written a remarkable new book entitled You Can Change Other People: The Four Steps to Help Your Colleagues, Employees-Even Family-Up Their Game.
Did you catch that title? You can change other people. Isn't there something about the phrasing that just seems wrong? Isn't it true that you can't change other people-you can only change yourself?
Well, Peter and Howie are going to challenge that idea today. They'll share why changing others might just be the most important capability a leader can develop. They'll share some examples of how NOT to try to get someone to change. More importantly, they'll give us a taste of what their four steps are and how to use them.
It's a fun conversation with two people who are actively using these ideas every day to help people change. I can't wait to share this discussion with you.

We're continuing a series of episodes on the topic of change. In a previous episode we talked with Katy Milkman about her book How to Change, which provided some helpful insights into the behavioral science of change.
But what if you are planning to lead a change initiative. Beyond what Katy brought us from behavioral science, I wanted to bring you a process-something that is practical, memorable, and tested across industries.
In this episode, Andy Kaufman will introduce you to Gary Lloyd, author of Gardeners Not Mechanics: How to Cultivate Change at Work.
Just from the title you can get a sense of what Gary's thinking about change. In today's discussion, Gary will share why change initiatives tend to under-deliver. He'll explain why thinking of our work as ecosystems instead of machines is a much better way of approaching change. And we'll talk about how the elements of gardening have remarkable applicability to how we can approach change initiatives.

Whatever it is that you'd like to change, we have good news for you in this episode. Katy Milkman joins us to talk about her fantastic new book How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be.
Katy is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She's the host of Charles Schwab's popular behavioral economics podcast Choiceology, and the former president of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making. She is the co-founder and co-director of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, a research center with the mission of advancing the science of lasting behavior change whose work is being chronicled by Freakonomics Radio.
Over the course of her career, she has worked with or advised dozens of organizations on how to spur positive change, including Google, the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Red Cross, 24 Hour Fitness, Walmart and Morningstar.
An award-winning scholar and teacher, Katy writes frequently about behavioral science for major media outlets such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Economist, USA Today and Scientific American. She earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University where she studied Operations Research and American Studies, and her PhD from Harvard University where she studied Computer Science and Business. Katy lives with her husband and son in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Perhaps you've read books about habits or listened to TED Talks on the subject.
Today you're going to hear from the behavioral scientist who has done a lot of the work that is shared in those resources. In today's discussion, Katy will help us understand why our best intentions to change often fail us. She'll talk about what Fresh Starts are and how to leverage them. You'll learn about what commitment devices are and how to use them. And you'll learn about how you can use all of these and even more ideas to help you achieve the changes you desire.
It's an insightful discussion about a powerful book that I can't wait to share with you!
If you are looking to implement a change, this discussion with Katy can help. So let's invite Katy into today's conversation about her new book How to Change. Katy, thank you for joining us for the HomeTown Health podcast!
