Hi Colleagues
A 3 part episode on moving from Micro to Macro is now published in the NaC podcast series "I'm Glad I Know That Now!": https://www.negotiationandconflictteam.com/ and can be found on your favorite podcast provider. This 3 parter features guests whose career began with an initial publication that led to societal implications/change, thus moving from micro to macro.
Each guest talks about the impetus for their idea and the journey on how the idea grew to impact society including key moments on how their idea found traction, obstacles they faced, how they overcame them, and how their ideas grew to what they are today. This aims to be an inspiring session about how your ideas might grow to impact the larger society, policy, institutions, or organizations.
