Podcast 1136: A Whack on the Side of the Head with Roger von Oech

In this Inside Personal Growth conversation, Greg Voisen welcomes Jeff DeGraff, University of Michigan professor, innovation expert, and co-author of The Art of Change: Transforming Paradoxes into Breakthroughs. Jeff shares his powerful framework for embracing contradictions as catalysts for transformation. Drawing on real-life experiences—from helping lead the accelerated development of COVID-19 vaccines to lessons in business, leadership, and personal growth—Jeff explains why paradoxes like “achieving more by doing less” or “resistance becoming a driver of change” are key to breakthrough innovation. Listeners will discover practical strategies to move beyond “change theater,” adopt a paradoxical mindset, and apply experiments, intuition, and collaboration to accelerate real transformation in their lives and organizations

Listeners will learn:
- Why contradictions and paradoxes are the real drivers of transformation.
- How to spot the difference between “change theater” and genuine transformation.
- Why facts rarely change minds—and what actually does.
- How to experiment with small, low-risk steps to accelerate real breakthroughs.
- Practical strategies for balancing stability with innovation inside organizations.

Jeff’s stories—from building Domino’s Pizza into a fast-growing giant to advising NASA and Fortune 500 companies—bring these principles to life. This conversation will equip you with tools to embrace complexity, lead change with confidence, and create lasting breakthroughs in work and life.
