So - whether or not you think of yourself as lucky - if you had to name your lucky break, what would it be? That moment when things tipped in your favor, when you inadvertently unlocked the secret to the next level or noticed a clue to a hidden door; that moment when things changed?  Dr. Emily Balcetis is one of the most sought-after voices on Motivational Science. Her research sees her delving into the differences in judgments and behaviors from person to person. Emily shares what she finds out through her keynote speaking and her writing, and continues to shape and define the cutting-edge research in her role as Director of the Social Perception, Action and Motivation Lab.

[25:15] | How optimism and pessimism affect the pursuit of goals: “The fear of the unknown stands in the way of people hitting the reset button.” [31:01] | Must you say no to the present in order to say yes to the future? [33:48] | “Don’t hesitate to seek out additional perspectives.” [38:34]
