Adam Grant moderated by

Maria Sharapova Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

I

N A PARADIGMSHIFTING CONVERSATION, organizational psychologist and Penn Wharton School of Business professor Adam Grant will offer a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. He’ll be joined on The Arlington Theatre’s stage by tennis champion and entrepreneur Maria Sharapova who will moderate the UCSB Arts & Lectures presentation at 7:30pm Thursday, November 16th.

Grant is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Originals. His new book, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things, explores how to build the skills and structures to achieve greater things, and how to create opportunities for those who have been overlooked.

It contends that we can all improve at improving – and when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Related Event: A related Thematic Learning Initiative event on Identifying Hidden Potential will be facilitated by Leading from Within on Friday, November 17th at 12 noon (author not present; limited space). Contact UCSB Arts & Lectures Box Office for registration at 805-895-3535.

Registration is required to participate.

“Everyone has hidden potential,” he writes. “This book is about how we unlock it.”

The task of helping Grant unlock the potential of his book on stage falls to his friend and fellow author Maria Sharapova.

Sharapova knows something about hidden potential, as she shocked the tennis establishment with her upset victory in the 2004 Wimbledon final. At just 17 years of age, she defeated Serena Williams to earn the first of her five grand slam victories.

A Conversation with visionary thinker

He has received awards for distinguished scholarly achievement from the Academy of Management, the American Psychological Association and the National Science Foundation, and been recognized as one of the world’s most-cited, most prolific, and most influential researchers in business and economics.

A conversation with Adam Grant, moderated by Maria Sharapova, will take place at The Arlinton Theatre at 7:30pm Thursday, November 16th

Adam Grant Adam Grant has been Wharton’s top-rated professor for seven straight years. He is a leading expert on how we can find motivation and meaning, rethink assumptions, and live more generous and creative lives.

Starting out as an introvert, Grant has grown into hosting the TED podcasts Re:Thinking and WorkLife. His TED talks on languishing, original thinkers, and givers and takers have over 30 million views. He also has been recognized as one of the world’s ten most influential management thinkers and named to Fortune’s 40 under 40.

Grant’s five books have sold millions of copies and been translated into 45 languages. His viral piece on languishing was the most-read New York Times article of 2021 and most shared across platforms.

Grant’s newest book, Hidden Potential, was published in October 2023. In it he notes, “There’s a widely held belief that greatness is mostly born not made.

That leads us to celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But you don’t have to be a wunderkind to accomplish great things. My goal is to illuminate how we can all rise to achieve greater things.”

Grant’s generosity, that recognizes everyone has potential, shows up in much of his work and inspires those he works with.

Along the way, he has

cultivated over eight million followers on social media and shares new insights in his free monthly newsletter, GRANTED. His speaking and consulting clients include Google, the NBA, Bridgewater, and the Gates Foundation. He writes on work and psychology for The New York Times, has served on the Defense Innovation Board at the Pentagon, and has been honored as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Grant was profiled in The New York Times Magazine cover story, Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead?

Grant also works well with other thinkers. He curates the Next Big Idea Club along with Susan Cain, Malcolm Gladwell, and Dan Pink, handpicking two new books each quarter for subscribers and donating 100 percent of the profits to provide books for children in underresourced communities.

He and his wife Allison have published a children’s picture book on generosity, The Gift Inside the Box. Grant is also the cofounder of Givitas, a knowledge collaboration platform that makes it easy to give and receive help.

His pioneering research has increased performance and reduced burnout among engineers, teachers, and salespeople, and motivated safety behaviors among doctors, nurses, and lifeguards. He is a former magician and Junior Olympic springboard diver.

In Hidden Potential he advises, “You can’t tell where people will land from where they begin.

With the right opportunity and motivation to learn, anyone can build the skills to achieve greater things. Potential is not a matter of where you start, but of how far you travel. We need to focus less on starting points and more on distance traveled.”

Maria Sharapova Outside of tennis, Sharapova is an active founder, CEO, and business investor. She is an equity owner of Supergoop and a long time ambassador for evian.

She continues to expand her business portfolio. Across all of her business ventures, Sharapova works with her partners to advise on a variety of aspects of each business — including product development, creative branding, content strategy, growth, and expansion — leveraging her experiences as a professional athlete, entrepreneur, and consumer to provide unique insights and strategic counsel.

The Lead Sponsor for this event is Jillian & Pete Muller. Special thanks: Pacific Coast Business Times and 101.7 K-LITE. Thanks go to visionary partners, Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin, for their support of the Thematic Learning Initiative.

Rep. Carbajal Emphasizes Need for Humanitarian Pause in Gaza

C

ONGRESSMAN SALUD CARBAJAL (CA24) reemphasized his call for a humanitarian pause in fighting in Gaza and other key diplomatic priorities to Secretary of State Antony Blinken as the Secretary embarks on his next diplomatic trip to Israel.

In a letter signed by Rep. Carbajal and 57 of his congressional colleagues, the lawmakers commended Secretary Blinken and President Joe Biden’s emphasis Salud Carbajal that Israel’s right to root out the terrorist responsible for the October 7th attack on its citizens and the need to protect civilian lives in the aftermath are not incompatible goals.

“This conflict requires holistic U.S. leadership – addressing the grave humanitarian needs of today while working towards solutions that prioritize deescalation, dialogue, and diplomacy. We commend your dedicated efforts during this conflict, and we remain committed to continued engagement,” the lawmakers wrote.

“We commend President Biden and yourself for consistently reaffirming Israel’s right to defend its citizens in the aftermath of Hamas’ horrific October 7th attack, while emphasizing the United States’ commitment to international law and the protection of Israeli and Palestinian civilians.”

Over the past few weeks, Rep. Carbajal has joined his colleagues in Congress to formally condemn Hamas’ October 7th terrorist attacks, to call for swift support for both Israel’s security needs and humanitarian relief to help those being oppressed

by Hamas in Gaza, and to cut off funding sources for terrorist organizations in the region.

Israel’s Chance to Turn Carnage into Peace

I

By Jeffrey D. Sachs October 31, 2023 | Common Dreams

SRAEL IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME to save itself—not from Hamas, which lacks the means to defeat Israel militarily, but from itself. Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, verging on the crime of genocide according to the Center for Constitutional Rights, threaten to destroy Israel’s civil, political, economic, and cultural relations with the rest of the world. There are growing calls in Israel for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign immediately. A new Israeli government should seize the opportunity to turn carnage into lasting peace through diplomacy.

Netanyahu is leading Israel into the same trap that the U.S. fell into after 9/11. Hamas’ goal in its heinous terrorist attack on 10/7 was to goad Israel into a long and bloody war, and to induce Israel to commit war crimes to bring on the world’s opprobrium. This is a classic political use of terror: not merely to kill, but to frighten, provoke, debase, and ultimately undermine, the foe.

Al-Qaeda, the perpetrator of 9/11, goaded America’s political class to launch disastrous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond.

Jeffrey D. Sachs The result was carnage, torture by U.S. agencies and military forces, $8 trillion in debt, and the collapse of U.S. prestige and power worldwide. Hamas is similarly goading Israel into war crimes and potentially into a regionwide war. Israel’s actions are turning Israel’s friends around the world against it.

Israel’s instinct is to ignore global opinion, chalking it up to anti-Semitism and believing that the U.S. has Israel’s back. Yet the U.S., weakened as it is in world affairs, can’t possibly save Israel from itself. Just look at how the U.S. is “saving” Ukraine. Ukraine is being destroyed by its pursuit of NATO membership and rejection of diplomacy, both of which have been encouraged by America’s ineffective pledge to support Ukraine militarily “for as long as it takes.”

There is another deep similarity of al-Qaeda’s 9/11 and Hamas’s 10/7. Al-Qaeda was a U.S. creation that later boomeranged. By covertly funding Islamic jihadists in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union during the 1980s, the CIA effectively launched al-Qaeda. In the case of Hamas, Netanyahu—as is well-documented—secretly backed Hamas in order to divide and weaken the Palestinian Authority.

Israelis are told by Netanyahu and his cabinet that there is no alternative to achieve security and peace other than to invade Gaza to defeat Hamas. The acquiescence of the U.S. and European governments as Israel invades Gaza conveys the message to the “Israel’s actions are Israeli people that their leaders are telling the truth: turning Israel’s friends that Hamas can be defeated around the world militarily, that the civilian deaths in Gaza are being against it.” limited by careful targeting of military operations, and that Israel is doing the only thing it can do for its own security. Yet these misguided views are perpetrated by the same political class that let Israel’s guard down in the lead-up to 10/7. Israeli leaders are seeking to cover up their blunders through the war in Gaza.

The facts are these. First, while Hamas demonstrated its capacity to commit a surprise terrorist attack, the truth is that Israel let its guard down on 10/7. By bolstering its borders and its intelligence, Israel can block Hamas from a repeat attack. Nor is Israel at risk of any kind of military defeat by Hamas inside Israel, since Israel has vast military dominance. The same was true with 9/11, which was a catastrophic failure of U.S. homeland security and intelligence operations, but did not even remotely represent a threat of U.S. military defeat.

This is not to say that defeating Hamas inside Gaza would be straightforward. With a major Israeli ground invasion, Hamas would have the advantage of urban guerilla warfare on its own turf, and no doubt large numbers of Israeli soldiers are likely to die in such a campaign.

There is a completely different approach to Israel’s security, the one that Israel’s political class has rejected for decades, yet the only one that can deliver real peace and security.

It is a political solution for Palestine, coupled with comprehensive, enforceable security arrangements for Israel.

Israel sits on top of a volcano of unrest because it has long denied basic human,

economic, and political rights to the Palestinian people. Gaza has famously been described by Human Rights Watch as an open-air prison. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is tantamount to apartheid in the view of human rights groups such as Amnesty International.

The UN Security Council and UN General Assembly have rightly and overwhelmingly voted resolution after resolution calling for a two-state solution, most recently on October 26, just days ago.

I refer readers interested in the detailed history of this long saga to the wise and scholarly study by my esteemed colleague Professor Rashid Khalid, The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine. Historian Ian Black, in his book Enemies and Neighbors: Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel 1917-2017, recounts that Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister, “was not prepared to make the concessions needed to make [the two-state solution] possible.”

The failure of Israel’s political class to achieve true security for Israel and justice for Palestine opens the door to a different approach. Here is how a diplomatic solution could work.

The UN Security Council would commit to the disarming of militant groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Countries funding and arming these groups, notably Iran, would agree to join with the UN Security Council in defunding and demobilizing these groups as part of the peace deal. Both Saudi Arabia and Iran would establish diplomatic relations with Israel as part of the peace deal. Israel and the UN Security Council would recognize a sovereign, independent, and secure state of Palestine, with its capital in East Jerusalem, and with full membership in the United Nations. Palestine would be given sovereign control over the Muslim holy sites of East Jerusalem, including Haram al-Sharif.

The five permanent powers (P5) of the UN Security Council—the U.S., Russia, China, UK, and France—all favor such a peace deal. Indeed, Biden has recently reiterated U.S. support for the two-state solution. Moreover, there is scope for favorable diplomacy among the P5. The U.S. and China will soon hold a summit of President Biden and President Xi, and there are even glimmers of behind-the-scenes diplomacy between Russia and the U.S. to sort out and end the tragic conflict in Ukraine.

Iran can be brought on board to such a deal, as long as the deal includes the normalization of Iran’s diplomatic and economic relations with the E.U. and the United States. In 2015, Iran negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with the U.S. and European nations to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program in return for an end to Western sanctions. It was the U.S. under former President Donald Trump, not Iran, that brazenly withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018. More recently, Iran has reconciled with Saudi Arabia and joined the BRICS nations, demonstrating Iran’s interest in dynamic and creative diplomacy.

The rest of the UN member states also clearly support a two-state solution. As soon as Israel embraces a comprehensive peace deal, it will garner friends worldwide, and cause a worldwide sigh of relief.

If Israel swallows Netanyahu’s poison that “this is a time for war,” Israel will isolate itself from the rest of the world and pay a devastating price. Israel’s attainable objective is lasting peace and security through diplomacy. Israel’s friends, starting with the U.S., must help it choose diplomacy over war. Friends do not let friends commit crimes against humanity, much less provide them with the finances and arms to do so. www.commondreams.org/opinion/israel-gaza-peace-diplomacy

David Sedaris, Irreverent Statesman

I

F THE PASSAGE OF TIME MAKES ONE WISER, as it has in the case of David Sedaris, it might also make one more acidic, slightly darker, and at times even raucous and irreverant—all in a good way. One of our nation’s funniest and most prolific humorists, Sedaris pulled no punches Saturday night at the Arlington. His sly observations about the extraordinary and his sublime insight into the mundane are still there, but with a notable crunchiness in the mix.

He’s a writer and performer so at ease in his element it felt less like a show and more like sitting on his porch with him as he rifles through his latest musings from scraps of paper, hotel napkins, and journals. The Arlington is the right venue for this kind of experience, a sold out audience sitting in a town square setting, there for the stories, edging closer to the fire.

Sedaris is good at inviting you in, letting you get comfortable, and then challenging you with his notions and ideas. He took his time, too, warming us up for the edgy stuff with a slow burn of recent columns and oneoffs.

When he started cooking, however, you knew it, with a heart warming and slightly painful story of his first love and how he broke her heart. Then, a sudden turn into a letter to Santa Claus definitely not for kids that suggested peril and violence and even a murder. Where did THAT come from?

David Sesaris is an elder statesman and he knows it, even revels in it. He knows that we feel close to him, we wish to own part of him, that our reliance on his storytelling is something he can play with, and to great effect. Since we already know his personal journey towards coming into who he is, his tale of his first love raises a different kind of stakes in the telling. It serves as a flashback that fills in some of the blanks we might have assumed with our own stories. It’s as if, even though we think we know where we’re going, he enjoys cranking the wheel sideways now and again. Some might call it anarchy, but it seems to me David Sedaris is aging gracefully, and enjoys keeping us on our toes.

David Sedaris was presented UCSB Arts & Lectures at the Arlington Theatre on Saturday, November 4th.

The Gift of Transition House

ANDERING ALONG THE HARBOR BREAKWATER on a sunny day last week I found myself stopping at the pole flying the Transition House flag. Why not, I thought to myself, take this opportunity to follow up on my promise to occasionally highlight the amazing charitable organizations in Santa Barbara who have chosen to participate in the Flag Project at the Breakwater? The flag of Transition House caught my eye because of its relevance in the world today considering the social, political, and economic challenges that confront us.

By Sigrid Toye / Special to VOICE

The mission of Transition House is to serve homeless families with children offering life tools and respectful, non-sectarian residential services designed to alleviate poverty and restore self-sufficiency and dignity. Questions regarding homelessness and poverty are complicated and deep rooted, none with simple answers. But Transition House has fashioned a menu of creative solutions to the cycle of poverty-based family homelessness with programs to develop the necessary tools for self-sufficiency. With the support of case managers and the assistance of staff and volunteers, parents are empowered to earn a living wage, manage money, and to develop life skills designed to secure permanent housing. Well over 70 percent of homeless families who enter the emergency shelter program succeed in transitioning into permanent housing. Quite impressive!

Transition House began life in 1984 when a group of faith based organizations realized that homelessness had increased in Santa Barbara to the degree that help was urgently needed. “At the time the homeless were housed in church basements and fellowships halls, moving from one place to the other every 30 days,” shared Executive Director Kathleen Baushke. “Volunteers provided food and oversight supervision.” In 1992 assisted by government and private funding Transition House officially moved to its current location at 434 East Ortega Street. Programs were added. The capacity increased in the 1990’s to include a two additional housing locations for clients, one extending to the block behind Kathleen Baushke the offices where many of the service facilities are located. “Our latest addition came between 2020 and 2023 with the Buckley-Kelley Place, making Transition House the owner and operator of 38 units of supportive housing.”

Santa Barbara community is our support system and most enthusiastic cheerleader,” Bauschke noted. Transition House and its network of partners includes over 40 service or faith-based organizations and 900 volunteers donating their time and talents each year. Area merchants help by donating time, materials, and contributions to the agency’s efforts. Many businesses also offer meaningful employment with benefits to residents of Transition House.

Long serving Transition House board member Steve Espstein summed it up. “This organization is the greatest! And now it’s a model for others who serve the homeless and the road from public service to self-sufficiency and a home.” Perhaps Transition House’s logo on its breakwater flag–a little house with an open window, the sun’s rays, and a flower in full bloom–best communicates that this organization is … The Way Home!

This article would occupy more space than its due to describe all the comprehensive services offered under the Transition House umbrella. During the last decade the organization has expanded its program offerings by developing a homelessness prevention program and an onsite evening education program aimed at developing employment skills and financial literacy. Onsite parenting classes are also offered. With the help of community partners and social service agencies, Transition House has the capacity to direct people in need to the proper resources for substance abuse and mental health, crisis lines, childcare, clothing, and food along with various shelters within the community.

Understanding the complications inherent in the homeless population, Bauschke has developed partnerships in the community to provide services not offered by Transition House. “In Washington DC I saw the homeless struggle during those brutal winters … and their tragic stories touched my heart. Transition House in Santa Barbara was a volunteer spot for eight years before I joined the staff, eventually serving as Executive Director. The need is great and the generosity of the The Buckley-Kelley Place, Transition House

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH: The Montecito ring nets have been removed after the nonprofit Project for Resilient Communities and the County of Santa Barbara could not come to an agreement on maintenance and annual clearing.

The nets were in San Ysidro, Buena Vista, and Cold Springs creeks.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND: Witches fly in for a Santa Barbara Halloween luncheon.

The annual event had several tables filled at Andersen’s Restaurant and Bakery in Santa Barbara.

Conception Sentencing

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH: Sentencing is set for February 2024 for the captain of the Conception dive boat after a federal conviction of “seaman’s manslaughter” in the deaths of 34 on board. The Conception, from the Santa Barbara harbor, was off Santa Cruz Island when the fatal fire took place on September 2, 2019. Captain Jerry Boylan could get ten years in prison.

Where’s the Recession? Part II

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

W

E WILL HAVE TO WAIT LONGER for a recession. October’s Jobs report showed even the unsettled labor strikes didn’t make much of a dent in the labor market. The usual suspects—leisure activities, healthcare, and a booming construction industry gave the most boost to hiring, but new government jobs were one third of the total 150,00 nonfarm payroll jobs created.

The loss of 33,000 in manufacturing was largely due to the UAW strikes, said the BLS.

Economic VOICE

By Harlan Green

The financial markets are loving the slowdown in hiring. Even the past two months were adjusted lower in the report. The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for August was revised down by 62,000, from +227,000 to +165,000, and the change for September was revised down by 39,000, from +336,000 to +297,000.

The Fed likes the report because since their recent lows in April the jobs market is softening. The unemployment rate is up by 0.5 percentage point and there are 849,000 more unemployed persons.

Yet calls for an imminent recession are still in the air. Why still? Firstly, it takes months, sometimes more than one year to call a recession, because a downturn must be long enough that there is a prolonged decline in demand from consumers as well as employers.

Most of the pessimists are taking the Fed’s word that they will keep rates high enough until they reach the two percent inflation target. What if that takes another year? Then all bets are off on when a recession might happen.

And this month’s jobs report can’t be taken too seriously on what might happen next because of the ongoing labor strikes, including by SAG-AFTRA’s 130,000 members.

And NPR reports, “Altogether, there have been 312 strikes involving roughly 453,000 workers so far in 2023, compared with 180 strikes involving 43,700 workers over the same period two years ago, according to data by Johnnie Kallas, a PhD candidate at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and the project director of the ILR Labor Action Tracker.”

Putting most of the striking workers back to work could bring the unemployment rate back down, and the higher wages could goose the inflation rate again.

Sullivan Goss: An American Gallery

Climbing into Nathan Huff ’s

Forest For The Trees W

By Kerry Methner / VOICE

ITH A VISUAL LANGUAGE ALL ITS OWN, Nathan Huff ’s third solo exhibition at Sullivan Goss is now open. Many will remember the ladders, small boats, and oaks that populated his earlier works. They return again, though subtly changed, evoking even more clearly earthly transience and a pull to the ethereal realms.

Offering space for quiet reflection, wonder, and fancy, Huff ’s recurring evocative metaphors reflect moments with his young daughters or time spent tending the two miles of hiking paths that meander through oaks at Westmont College. Those moments build connection and are grounding in the midst of change.

Huff ’s connection to the physical world and respect for nature shows up in his careful analogue depictions where he arranges the falling leaves in his paintings and captures them individually.

“I have always had this arc in my practice about suspension and looking at something from as many different angles as possible. So you could throw it up and walk around it in slow motion,” Huff explained as he began to reflect on his practice and Forest for the Trees. “I have been thinking about rootedness, and trees going into the ground, and then this kind of temporal movement, and horizontal locations as well.”

He continued, “So the boats are kind of a stand in for people, that flow across environments. And so, that’s kind of the motif... it’s like climbing and flowing... it’s an intersection between spirit and my own aspirational hopes and pathos, at the same time...That’s often the bigger thoughts there and then I just really enjoy walking through the landscape...”

Arranging Stars by Nathan Huff

Some of Huff ’s favorite trees become iconic in his work and appear in several of the paintings, with their familiar crooks and sharp bends becoming scaffolding for a new iteration and exploration. Boats and ladders that appear are created from tree limbs the artist has found or been gifted, with rungs painstakingly carved and placed.

The boats are each unique, as perhaps the journey of the individuals they stand in for, sometimes alone, sometimes meeting, and sometimes moving through each other.

Often ladders are reaching for the sky or stars.

Intersections by Nathan Huff

Rich vivid color lifts the mood of the body of work even in the face of cut down trees. In Glow, ladders take the place of missing trunks and branches, dancing to reach the sky. Globes of light shine brightly among them.

Rhythms and Currents by Nathan Huff

At the center of the exhibition is a ceiling to almost the floor installation that Huff designed to offer a sense of being among the trees. And there are his small hand constructed wooden ladders inside. “I thought of the experience of running through trees, the experience of dappled light. I have long had a fascination and love of different trees,” he recalled.

Warmly familiar and at the same time mysterious, inviting, and even mythic, somehow we are depicted here in this group of works, and what is revealed is somehow our story, too. Now is your chance to experience it. The exhibition will be on view through December 18th.

Nathan Huff earned an MFA in Drawing and Painting from CSU Long Beach and a BA in art education from Azusa Pacific University.

In 2013, he moved to Santa Barbara to accept a position as Assistant Professor of Art at Westmont College where he quickly became known as one of the most exciting young artists in town.

Huff’s installations have been featured in solo exhibitions at UCR Culver and Sweeney Galleries (Riverside), Los Angeles at D.E.N. Contemporary (West Hollywood), Minthorne Gallery (Oregon), Gallerie View (Salambo, Tunisia), group exhibitions at JK Gallery (Culver City), Lotusland (Santa Barbara), Westmont Ridley Tree Museum of Art (Santa Barbara), and the Angels Gate Cultural Center (San Pedro, CA).

75 Artists at One Address Celebrating Four Years!

A CUMBRE PLAZA IS IN THE MIDST OF A TRANSFORMATION. There are now over 75 artists showing their creations in custom, contemporary spaces.

Visitors can find the work of painters, photographers, and sculptors spread among a number of art venues, amidst long-time favorite destination retail locals.

The LCCCA was the first arts group to arrive four years ago this month. The collaborative of 24 artists took a chance on the then under-occupied shopping center and committed to three vacant spaces.

“Mall management was skeptical about a rag tag bunch of artists,” Mike Cregan, their entrepreneurial leader recalled. “They must have wondered if we would be painting the sidewalks. If we would fit in? Most importantly, could we pay the rent?”
