208. Worxogo: The AI-Powered Nudge Coach with Anant Sood

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I am very excited to introduce you to Anant Sood, one of the co-founders of the nudge coach Worxogo. What the heck is a nudge coach you ask? It is, by my own definition, an awesome amalgamation of behavioral science and AI to help people be better managers, improve employee performance, and so much more. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anant is going to share a lot more about it in the conversation, but just know that when I heard about this I absolutely had to profile it in my new book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is currently on presale to come out October 11, 2022, and to follow that up with this episode. You are going to love this, trust me!</span></p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Notes:</span></h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[00:41] Today I am very excited to introduce you to Anant Sood, one of the co-founders of the nudge coach Worxogo.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:54] Anant shares about himself and the really fascinating work he does.

After a chance meeting with Baba Shiv they realized it was not a technology or process problem, but a behavioral problem. </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[07:37] Customers wanted to change, but the change didn’t stick and it would just go back to the way it was.  </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[08:28] Melina’s new book,</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/What-Your-Employees-Need-Cant/dp/1684810159"> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You</span></em
