Our guests today are the authors of Bridge the Gap: Breakthrough Communication Tools to Transform Work Relationships From Challenging to Collaborative,  Jennifer Edwards and Katie McCleary.

They urge us to Tap the psychology of human connection to drive meaningful workplace communication

Human beings are born to connect―but in today’s increasingly polarized world, we’re losing sight of the importance of building and maintaining professional relationships. And that’s bad for business.

In Bridge the Gap, two prominent Fortune 500 coaches explore how your biology and biography define and refine your behavior in relationships where you struggle to connect. Focusing on personal responsibility and awareness, meta-cognition, and curiosity, they provide a reliable and replicable framework to enhance open communication. And they illuminate the inner workings of the human brain and mind, and how they impact the way you connect, communicate, and collaborate.

In this episode, Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40 talks to Chester About Unexpected Learning moments.

When Garry Ridge became CEO of WD-40 Company in 1997, his mandate was to transform a popular, successful US brand into a globally beloved, go-to spray to remove “squeaks” around the world. Today, his customer success stories include a driver in India who used WD-40 to remove a python from the undercarriage of his bus. 

99% of his employees, or “tribe members,” report they’re proud to tell people they work for WD-40 Company. The secret to his success? He created and sustains a global culture in which tribe members feel happy, safe and supported to learn and try new things.

At WD-40 Company, tribe members don’t make mistakes. They have “learning moments,” which Garry defines as experiences – both negative and positive – that they can then safely report back to their colleagues.

In March 2003 Garry was awarded Director of the Year for Enhancement of Economic Value by the Corporate Directors forum. In April 2004 Garry received the Arthur E Hughes Career Achievement Award from the University of San Diego. In 2009, he co-authored a book with Ken Blanchard titled Helping People Win at Work: A Business Philosophy called Don’t Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A.

Our guest today is Ashley Rhodes-Courter, Author, Speaker, and Child Welfare Advocate.

Since her first National Keynote at age 14, Ashley Rhodes-Courter has shared her story with thousands in the United States and in over 7 countries.

Ashley Rhodes-Courter, MSW, is the quintessential American success story. Born in 1985 to a single teen mother, by the age of 3 she was in Florida’s foster care system where she spent almost ten years being shuttled between 14 homes—some quite abusive—before being adopted from a Children’s Home at the age of twelve.

Despite her ordeal, she excelled in school because she believed that, “my education was the one thing nobody could take from me.” Early in her life she felt compelled to advocate for herself and the other children she lived with, particularly in the abusive foster homes.

Her efforts and academic achievements landed her Eckerd College’s Trustee Scholarship where she graduated with honors and ahead of schedule earning a double major in Communications and Theater and a double minor in Political Science and Psychology. Ashley then went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California.

By the age of 22, Ashley had become a New York Times Bestselling Author. Her first book, “Three Little Words” is now an International Bestseller and has been published in at least 4 countries. Her second book, “Three More Words” debuted at #1 on Amazon Bestseller’s List. 

Ashley has received State, local, and National awards for her speaking, advocacy, and philanthropy. She has spoken on Capitol Hill and has been invited to the White House twice. “Three Little Words” is now being made into a major motion picture.

Our guest today is my new friend…. Mitzi Perdue

Mitzi Perdue knows that every family business has a culture. The question is, does this culture come about by design or by default? The ones that come about by default rarely support keeping the family business in the family across the generations.

So, what can a family do to develop and strengthen a culture that will support their deepest goals and values?

Mitzi Perdue draws on the experience of her family of origin, the Henderson Estate Company which dates back to 1840 and was the forerunner of the Sheraton Hotels (her father was co-founder of the chain). She also looks to her marital family (she’s the widow of Frank Perdue from Perdue Farms) that began in 1920.

Mitzi’s talks contain practical tips for embedding a positive culture. She’s been a part of carrying out all of them, and in some cases, creating them. These are tips that work, they’re practical, and they can make a spectacular difference in whether the family continues across the generations, or becomes one of the 70% that fails to pass on their legacy to the next generation.

Mitzi is a businesswoman, author, and a master story teller. She holds degrees from Harvard University and George Washington University, is a past president of the 40,000 member American Agri-Women and was one of the U.S. Delegates to the United Nations Conference on Women in Nairobi. She currently writes for the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents and hosts EarthX TV’s show, The Pen and the Planet.

Most recently, she’s authored Tough Man, Tender Chicken: Business and Life Lessons from Frank Perdue. The book made #5 on Amazon’s Business Biographies, out of a field of 20,000. She’s also the author of, I Didn’t Bargain for This, her story of growing up as a hotel heiress.

Our guest today is my new friend…. DJ Clinton Sparks

Clinton began his career as a DJ on Boston’s Hot 97.7 in 2000. From there, he expanded his popular Smashtime radio show by self syndicating it to other radio stations which included Hot 93.7 in Connecticut and 92Q in Baltimore. The success and popularity of his radio show earned him multiple radio awards from East Coast Radio DJ of the year to Mixshow Radio DJ of the year at the annual Mixshow Power Summit, which was the Grammy’s for DJ’s in the early 2000’s. 

He collaborated on projects with artists such as Kanye West,  Eminem, Lil’Jon, 50 Cent and Talib Kweli. These projects earned him recognition and a mixtape award at the annual Justo’s Mixtape Awards in New York City.

Clinton discovered and signed a French DJ by the name of DJ Snake. Together they produced platinum records and worked with everyone from T-Pain, Pitbull, Tyrese, Plies and Lady Gaga. Inevitably, Clinton would introduce Snake to Lil’Jon and that relationship would later produce one of the biggest records of 2014, “Turn Down For What.

Clinton wrote and produced his first Billboard charting record for Akon titled, “Sorry, Blame it on Me” which entered the charts at #7. He also produced the single “Down In Tha Dirty” by Ludacris featuring Rick Ross and Bun B and was featured in the music video.

In 2019, Clinton became CEO and co-founder of Get Familiar Tech and welcomed his daughter Sofi Sparks into the world.

In 2020, Clinton invested in and became Head of Business Development for a new start up social sports betting app called, FanUp. He also officially launched his marketing firm, Get Familiar, Inc. On July 16th, Clinton announced his new esports and lifestyle gaming brand, XSET which he co-founded and co-owns with partners Greg Selkoe, Wil Eddins, and Marco Mereu via a feature in The New York Times.

Today, Chester Interview's Garry Ridge, Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the WD-40 Company headquartered in San Diego, California.

When Garry Ridge became CEO of WD-40 Company in 1997, his mandate was to transform a popular, successful US brand into a globally beloved, go-to spray to remove “squeaks” around the world. Today, his customer success stories include a driver in India who used WD-40 to remove a python from the undercarriage of his bus. 

99% of his employees, or “tribe members,” report they’re proud to tell people they work for WD-40 Company. The secret to his success? He created and sustains a global culture in which tribe members feel happy, safe and supported to learn and try new things.

“One of the greatest joys people get out of life is learning things and then putting that new knowledge into practice,” he says. “The learning environment, as we have developed it at the WD-40 Company, creates a feeling of safety because it takes out the element of fear.”

At WD-40 Company, tribe members don’t make mistakes. They have “learning moments,” which Garry defines as experiences – both negative and positive – that they can then safely report back to their colleagues.

WD-40 Company employees consider themselves a “tribe” – a concept inspired by Garry’s Australian background and interest in Aboriginal culture. He also draws influence from great thinkers like Marshall Goldsmith, Ken Blanchard, Simon Sinek, and the Dalai Lama.

“I was particularly struck by [the Dalai Lama’s] line, ‘The purpose of life is to make people happy. If you can’t make them happy, at least don’t hurt them’,” Garry says.

He also admires Aristotle’s maxim, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”

“As leaders, our job is to make sure we create an environment where tribe members wake up each day looking forward to going to work, feel safe while they are there, [and] return home at the end of the day fulfilled by the work they do, feeling like they’ve learned something new and contributed to something bigger than themselves,” he says.

In March 2003 Garry was awarded Director of the Year for Enhancement of Economic Value by the Corporate Directors forum. In April 2004 Garry received the Arthur E Hughes Career Achievement Award from the University of San Diego. In 2009, he co-authored a book with Ken Blanchard titled Helping People Win at Work: A Business Philosophy called Don’t Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A.

Then, after being diagnosed with an avocado-sized tumor in her salivary gland in 2014, she had to lean on the tools she learned with her son to help her through this difficult time.

Now, she wants to help others cultivate the habits and skills to build strength through struggle with the science behind resilience.

After graduating with honors in business management economics and psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz, Jacob was excited to join the corporate world.

At his first job he was told that he’d be traveling the country, meeting with executives and entrepreneurs, and doing all sorts of exciting work. A few months in, he was stuck doing data entry, cold calling, and PowerPoint presentations. One day the CEO came out of his nice corner office, handed Jacob a $10 bill and said, “I’m late for a meeting, go grab me a cup of coffee, and get something for yourself as well.” That was the last corporate job he ever had.

Today, Jacob Morgan is a trained futurist and one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership, the future of work, employee experience, and leadership. He speaks in front of tens of thousands of people each year and his content is seen over a million times a year. Jacob is the best-selling author of four books: The Future Leader (Wiley 2020) The Employee Experience Advantage (Wiley, 2017), The Future of Work (Wiley, 2014), and The Collaborative Organization (McGraw Hill, 2012). He speaks at over 50 conferences a year including TED Academy which is one of the largest TED events in the world. In addition Jacob provides advisory and thought leadership services to various organizations around the world.

He is the founder of The Future of Work University at FutureOfWorkUniversity.com, an online education and training platform that helps individuals and organizations thrive in the rapidly changing world of work.

Jacob also created “The Future If,” a global community of business leaders, authors and futurists who explore what our future can look like IF certain technologies, ideas, approaches and trends actually happen. The community looks at everything from AI and automation to leadership and management practices to augmented reality and virtual reality, the 4th industrial revolution and everything in between.

When I sat down and started typing what became my first book, I didn’t really know why I was doing itWhen I sat down and started typing what became my first book, I didn’t really know why I was doing it. It was a calling of sorts, like something was flowing through me. I didn’t plan on being a writer, it just happened.

I remember thinking during the twenty-one days of that experience, that if whatever was coming through me inspired just one person, I’d consider the whole thing to be a success.

Here we are more than six million copies later and I find when I sit down to write, it’s still about one person. I think it always will be. Doing my best to help inspire one reader, through one word, one sentence, at a time.

I am beyond delighted to be joined by Hartmut Esslinger to talk about "Design for Life"

In 1969, Hartmut started design agency, Frogdesign. He created the first "full plastics" color TV and HiFi series "Wega system 3000". His work for Wega won him instant international fame. In 1974, Esslinger was hired by Sony and was instrumental in creating a global design image for Sony, especially with the Sony Trinitron and personal music products. The Sony-Wega Music System Concept 51K was chosen by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.  In December 1990 Esslinger was featured on the cover of BusinessWeek, the only living designer thus honored since Raymond Loewy in 1934.

In 1982 he entered into an exclusive $2,000,000 per year contract with Apple Computer to create a design strategy which transformed Apple from a "Silicon Valley Start-Up" into a global brand. Esslinger and Frogdesign created the "Snow White design language" which was applied to all Apple product lines from 1984 to 1990. Soon after Steve Jobs' departure, Esslinger broke his own contract with Apple and followed Jobs to NeXT. Other major client engagements include Lufthansa's global design and brand strategy, SAP's corporate identity and software user interface, Microsoft Windows branding and user interface design, Siemens, NEC, Olympus, HP, Motorola and General Electric. Esslinger also worked for Louis Vuitton. 

Esslinger is founding Professor of the Hochschule fuer Gestaltung in Karlsruhe, Germany and since 2006 he is Professor for convergent industrial design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria. In 1996, Esslinger was awarded an honorary doctorate of Fine Arts by the Parsons School of Design, New York City. Since 2012 Esslinger has served as a DeTao Master of Indus

Jonah Paquette - Mental Health Training. Clinical Psychologist, and author of "Real Happiness: Proven Paths for Contentment, Peace and Well-Being," and "The Happiness Toolbox." 3rd book, “Awestruck,” will be released in 2020, and will focus on the science of awe and wonder

Jonah was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he lived until my early twenties. With much of his family remaining there, and growing up a die-hard Knicks and Yankees fan, it was difficult leaving the Big Apple. But like many people, he felt drawn to the West Coast, where new adventures awaited. After graduating college at Columbia University in 2004, he moved to California to start graduate school at the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium in Palo Alto. For the next five years, he had the privilege of training in a variety of clinical settings, including VA hospitals, college counseling centers, and community mental health agencies. he also had the good fortune of being mentored by some of the leading psychiatrists and psychologists in the field. 

Although the training Jonah received during these years was invaluable, he couldn't help but feel that there was something missing from mainstream mental health approaches. Namely, there was (and remains) an incredible emphasis on illness, pathology, and suffering. But what about the other side of the coin? During graduate school, he began to supplement my traditional training by learning more about wellness, happiness, and psychological well-being. he stumbled across the burgeoning field of "positive psychology," which studies these topics as well as things like character strengths, virtue, and happiness. This interest soon developed into his passion, and remains so to this day. 

​Today, Jonah wears two hats in his professional life. First, he is the Assistant Regional Director of Mental Health Training at a large HMO in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he helps oversee the mental health training programs across twenty medical centers in Northern California. And secondly, he provide trainings, consultations, and seminars on topics related to wellness, happiness, and reaching your full potential. In 2015, he released his first book, entitled "Real Happiness", a self-help book outlining seven proven paths to happiness and well-being. More recently in 2018, he released by second self-help booked, entitled "The Happiness Toolbox", which provides an array of tools and handouts for both readers and practitioners alike. On June 9, 2020, his third book will be released. Entitled "Awestruck," it will focus on the science of awe and how we can cultivate more awe and wonder in our lives.

My guest today is my friend Todd Billingsley, Director Business & Leadership Development Boehringer Ingelheim. Todd Billingsley is not just a transformational leader—he is transforming what it actually means to be a leader.

“Todd is a visionary and has single-handedly changed the culture around leadership development at BI,” says Rich Baron, Executive Director, Human Pharma Training & Development, Boehringer Ingelheim. “Cultures are generally created and driven from the top down. Todd has accomplished something remarkable in that he has built this and grown it from the bottom up.”

When Todd took over this role, BI had two programs: “Management Development Curriculum” and “Lead.” He totally dissolved MDC and built “New Leader Development.” While managers are trained to be great at hitting numbers and benchmarks, Todd believed leaders should be something more.

Todd’s work has also taken a leadership program that was 95% male dominated and made it closer to 60%-40% in favor of females. Now, his work is being applied across the organization with the animal health business in the U.S. picking up NLD, the team in Canada visiting the coaching academy, and Todd preparing to visit the global headquarters in Ingelheim to build out the program globally.
