SUMMARY:[FAN] Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef Curtis Duffy
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, 12:00 PM CT\, Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef\, a FAN webinar featuring Curtis Duffy in conversation with Heidi Stevens. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CDuffyFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of Fireproof to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nFireproof: Memoir of a Chef charts chef Curtis Duffy’s rise\, despite a childhood and adolescence rife with trauma\, to being mentored by and recognized among the world’s top chefs. Amid family chaos in rural Ohio\, a young Duffy found refuge first in a high school home economics class\, then at one of Columbus’s best restaurants\, where he honed his skills. His passion ignited\, Duffy was determined to leave Ohio and break the Duffy family curse. \nBut the tragic deaths of Duffy’s parents when he was only 19 jeopardized his promising professional career. Summoning extraordinary fortitude and resilience\, Duffy ate pain\, graduated culinary school\, and moved to Chicago to work in chef Charlie Trotter’s namesake restaurant\, a hotbed of talent that produced prominent alumni such as Grant Achatz\, Graham Elliot\, and Homaro Cantu. Inspired by stellar peers and staging for Thomas Keller at the French Laundry\, Duffy’s drive only grew. \nDuffy’s laser-focused ambition cost him a marriage\, and Grace restaurant. Grace earned three Michelin stars four years in a row\, solidifying Duffy’s place as one of the world’s greatest culinary artists. But in a heartbreaking act of defiance\, Duffy walked out after disputes with Grace’s owner. \nUndeterred\, Duffy created Ever restaurant—a launch nearly derailed by the pandemic. He persisted where many others would have resigned their craft\, and Ever earned two Michelin stars from 2021-2024. Duffy was ranked one of the “50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining” in 2024 by the Robb Report. \nDuffy will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health\, and creative director for Parent Nation\, an initiative of the TMW Center. Stevens has been a FAN board member since 2021. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups Colin M. Fisher\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 15\, 2025\, 12:00 PM CT\, The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups\, a FAN webinar featuring Colin M. Fisher\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Amy C. Edmondson\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CFisherFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: FAN donors are invited to attend a private AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Fisher that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nLife is full of groups—work teams\, families\, friends\, and communities defined by race\, religion\, and nationality. Yet\, in our hyper-individualized society\, we spend surprisingly little time thinking about what groups really are\, how they work\, and how to get the best out of them. It’s time to change that. The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups by Colin M. Fisher\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London’s School of Management\, reveals the invisible forces that shape group dynamics and shows how understanding these forces can lead to extraordinary accomplishments. Fisher is a renowned expert in team dynamics and leadership\, with years of experience in studying and advising on effective teamwork. \nDrawing on decades of research across social psychology\, sociology\, economics\, anthropology\, political science\, neuroscience\, and management\, this comprehensive\, approachable guide illustrates how groups and teams affect everything from complicated family dynamics and frustrating work meetings to the successes of the 2008 US Olympic Men’s Basketball Team and The Rolling Stones. \nOrganized into four main sections—Cooperation\, Conformity\, Competition\, and Leadership—each part of the book is packed with action-oriented “Group Thoughts” to help apply the principles discussed. Fisher’s engaging storytelling makes complex scientific concepts accessible and relatable\, offering readers practical tools to improve their leadership\, relationships\, decision-making\, creativity\, and sense of belonging. \nFisher’s research has uncovered the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity\, improvisation\, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences\, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC\, Forbes\, Harvard Business Review\, NPR\, and The Times. \nFisher will be in conversation with Amy C. Edmondson\, Ph.D.\, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School\, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups Noah Giansiracusa\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 20\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Robin Hood Math: Take Control of the Algorithms That Run Your Life\, a FAN webinar featuring Noah Giansiracusa\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Karen Saxe\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/NGFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: FAN donors are invited to attend a private AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Siracusa and Saxe that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nEverything we do today is recorded as data that’s sold to the highest bidder. Plugging our personal data into impersonal algorithms has made government agencies more efficient and tech companies more profitable. But all this comes at a price. It’s easy to feel like an insignificant number in a world of number crunchers who care more about their bottom line than your humanity. It’s time to flip the equation\, turning math into an empowering tool for the rest of us. \nIn his new book Robin Hood Math: Take Control of the Algorithms That Run Your Life\, award-winning mathematician Noah Giansiracusa\, Ph.D.\, explains how the tech giants and financial institutions use formulas to get ahead—and how anyone can use these same formulas in their everyday life. Through real world events and relatable examples\, Giansiracusa makes math fun and relevant\, equipping readers with simple math hacks and streamlined formulas that can be applied immediately. You’ll learn how to handle risk rationally\, make better investments\, take control of your social media\, and reclaim agency over the decisions you make each day. \nGiansiracusa\, an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University and a visiting scholar at Harvard University\, has spent his career studying algorithms and society. He has penned over a dozen prominent op-eds at outlets including Scientific American\, TIME\, WIRED\, Slate and more. He excels at explaining complex math to wide audiences and has been on national television programs discussing timely topics like AI-generated misinformation and the importance of mathematical literacy. \nIn a society that all too often takes from the poor and gives to the rich\, math can be a vital democratizing force. Robin Hood Math helps you to think for yourself\, act in your own best interests\, and thrive. \nSiracusa will be in conversation with Karen Saxe\, Ph.D.\, senior vice president\, government relations\, for the American Mathematical Society. She is Professor Emerita at Macalester College where she served as chair of the Department of Mathematics\, Statistics\, and Computer Science. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Validation: How to Transform Your Relationships\, Increase Your Influence\, and Change Your Life Caroline Fleck\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 22\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Validation: Transform Your Relationships\, Increase Your Influence\, and Change Your Life\, a FAN webinar featuring Caroline Fleck\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Kelly Leonard. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/FleckFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: FAN donors are invited to attend a private AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Fleck and Leonard that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe all spend an absurd amount of energy trying to get people to listen to us\, and despite our best efforts\, we often fail. But what if the secret to changing behavior was to demonstrate acceptance? \nEnter validation — communication that one is mindful\, understands\, and empathizes with another person’s experience\, thereby accepting it as valid. When validation-based treatment\, also known as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)\, was introduced over thirty years ago\, it revolutionized psychology and facilitated change even amongst those patients who were highly resistant to it. Yet\, its practice has remained largely buried in treatment manuals and research articles written for psychologists — until now. \nWith Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships\, Increase Your Influence\, and Change Your Life\, psychologist and DBT expert Caroline Fleck\, Ph.D.\, brings these validation techniques out of therapy and into everyday life to help anyone decrease conflict\, strengthen relationships\, and change behaviors—in themselves and in others. \nPart memoir and part practical guide\, Fleck explains how and why validation is a catalyst for transformation. She draws on her two decades of experience to shows how anyone can develop the DBT skills of a therapist through the “Validation Ladder”: an actionable eight-step model that will help cultivate and communicate acceptance across relationships and unlock the potential for growth. \nFleck will be in conversation with Kelly Leonard\, Vice President of Creative Strategy\, Innovation\, and Business Development at The Second City in Chicago. He is the author of the acclaimed book Yes\, And and hosts the popular podcast Getting to Yes\, And for Second City Works and WGN radio. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nSponsored by FAN\, in partnership with The Alliance for Early Childhood\, The Avery Coonley School\, Avoca D37\, Baker Demonstration School\, Beacon Academy\, Bennett Day School\, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School\, Brickton Montessori School\, British International School of Chicago\, Catherine Cook School\,  Compass Health Center\, Evanston Scholars\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service Center\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.

SUMMARY:[FAN] FAN Roundtable: Dealing with Feeling Marc Brackett\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:FAN Roundtable Workshop: Wednesday\, October 29\, 2025\, 12-1:30 PM CT\, Dealing with Feeling\, Glenview Public Library Community Room\, 1930 Glenview Rd.\, Glenview\, IL 60025. Free copy of Dealing with Feeling for each guest. \nSpace is limited to 100 attendees. REGISTRATION REQUIRED: www.bit.ly/MBFANWorkshop \nIn Dealing with Feeling: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want\, Marc Brackett\, Ph.D. (FAN ’19)\, offers an essential guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions to transform our lives. \nSuccess in virtually every aspect of life―career\, friendship\, love\, and family―is determined mainly by one thing: how we deal with emotions. In your most challenging moments\, how did you respond? Did you fly off the handle? Were you paralyzed by indecision? Did you engage in behaviors that undermined your best intentions? Or did you exhibit grace under pressure and flourish? How you responded likely shaped what happened next. But emotion regulation isn’t a fixed trait\, as many believe. It is a set of skills and strategies that must be learned\, practiced\, and refined over a lifetime. \nBrackett examines his own challenges dealing with emotions\, explains the latest science of emotion regulation\, and provides a set of practical\, evidence-based strategies to help us use our feelings wisely to nurture healthy relationships\, achieve ambitious goals\, and experience greater well-being. At the heart of his message is acceptance: There are no bad emotions―only emotions we don’t understand or know how to direct in positive\, intentional ways. \nBy honing our emotion regulation skills\, we can increase our chances of achieving success in all facets of our lives. Dealing with Feeling will show you how to work with your and others’ emotions―not against them―so you can become the best version of yourself and lift others up\, too. \nBrackett is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence\, a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University\, and the author of the 2019 bestselling book Permission to Feel: The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-Being and Success. He is the lead developer of RULER\, an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that has been adopted by more than five thousand schools around the globe. In 2024\, he launched the YouTube webcast Dealing with Feelings. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nSponsored by FAN\, in partnership with The Alliance for Early Childhood\, The Avery Coonley School\, Baker Demonstration School\, Barrington D220\, Beacon Academy\, Bennett Day School\, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School\, Brickton Montessori School\, British International School of Chicago\, Catherine Cook School\, Chiaravalle Montessori School\, Compass Health Center\, Connections for the Homeless\, Countryside Day School\, The Cove School\, Evanston Scholars\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service Center\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.
