Roads Taken: Work as the Expression of the Questions We Are Asking Ourselves with Dorian Mintzer and Fred Mandell

Roads Taken is less a map than a meandering, less a history than a reflection, less a presentation than a prism, less a how-to guide than a journey.

Fred Mandell will review his work journey as an outgrowth of a series of animating questions. He will share what motivated him to launch The Global Institute for the Arts and Leadership as a response to the world in which we live. He will reflect on his current arts-based leadership consulting to enliven organizational culture and unlock innovation. Through these reflections, he will provide the opportunity to hold up a mirror to each of our own personal journeys.   Fred will share his mistakes, vulnerabilities, insights, and surprises in a search for wholeness.

In the spirit of Max Beckmann, the great 20th-century German artist, Fred sees art as a paradigm through which we pursue “the quest of our self that drives us along the eternal and never-ending journey we must all make.”

In this episode, participants will understand and appreciate:

  • The connection between work/life choices and what matters in our lives and those of our clients
  • Work in the second half as a Creative Choice
  • The role of animating questions in making work/life decisions
  • The creative power of choice

About Fred Mandell:

Fred Mandell is a founder and principal with Creating Futures That Work, a consultancy that draws on the precision and focus of science and the insights and skills of the arts to elevate leader effectiveness in the areas of collaboration, innovation, organizational culture, and professional development.

During his tenure, he introduced new business models for fee-based financial planning in a large financial services institution.

In 2014 Fred launched The Global Institute for the Arts and Leadership, a not-for-profit entity whose mission is to build a more peaceful, sustainable, and beautiful world by using the arts to catalyze social change. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board.

Policy, Housing and an Aging Society with Dorian Mintzer and Louis Tenenbaum

Aging issues won't disappear, despite whoever is in office. Second, we can't expect more federal funding or new entitlements. But this could be good if it pushes us to think out of the box, particularly regarding aging in place, by focusing on the situation facing older middle-income Americans.

While low-income older adults desperately need funding and support, 70% of older Americans (70 million people) do not qualify for government or not-for-profit programs but, at the same time, cannot afford expensive retirement communities or 24/7 care. These people have some resources, and most want to age in place. Many own their homes and spend out-of-pocket for care, which is often challenging to locate and manage. Without question, this is a cadre that needs better support.

In this program, Louis Tenenbaum will discuss several out-of-the-box options that businesses, government, and baby boomers can do to ensure their housing meets the needs of an aging population

About Louis Tenenbaum:

A leading authority on aging in place, Louis Tenenbaum is the founder of HomesRenewed, a coalition of business, government, non-profits, and consumer stakeholders. Uniquely straddling the building, aging, healthcare, and policy worlds, Louis was named a 2016 “Influencer in Aging” by Next Avenue and won a prestigious HIVE (Housing, Innovation, Vision, and Economics) award. His article, Aging in Place Needs Out of the Box Thinking, appeared in Forbes and received more than 4000 shares.
