E94: Coonoor Behal – Reframing Quitting to a Process for Progress

The Innovation Engine at Atrium Health

Ben & Jay are joined by Episode 27 guest Coonoor Behal, author of the newly published "I Quit!  Life-Affirming Joy of Giving Up".  Coonoor is the Founder & CEO of Mindhatch, a consultancy that helps organizations create the conditions for innovation and creativity to thrive. Through Mindhatch, Coonoor delivers her unique mix of expertise in Design Thinking, Organizational ImprovTM, Innovation Facilitation, and Diversity & Inclusion. Her new book, published by New Degree Press in April 2021, seeks to help readers rethink and reframe quitting by sharing stories from everyday people who summoned the courage to quit things in their lives.

Hear what caused Coonoor to write this important book, how it connects to her design thinking work, and the connection of quitting and privilege.  And of course, Ben & Jay find a connection to Jobs To Be Done theory, because they just can't help themselves. 

Stick around after the outro music for an improv bonus from Coonoor & Jay!
