He is founder and president of The Lantern Group, a communication and behavioral design agency which uses behavioral science insights to improve employee engagement and motivation. Additionally, they have created the Brain/Shift behavior change catalogue of personal products.
He also is the co-founder, with Tim Houlihan, of the award-winning Behavioral Grooves Podcast, where they interview leading academic and business executives from around the world and explore how they apply behavioral science to their work and lives. All his work focuses on understanding ways to positively influence how people behave.
Kurt earned his MBA from the University of Iowa and his Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Capella University.
Kurt discussed why the concept of loss aversion is relevant to a job search and being rejected. He told me “It's an element Danny Kahneman, along with his former research partner Amos Tversky, brought us: Loss Aversion and that rejection is a loss right. We had this this idea, even if it was just an idea that I was going to get this job now that job is lost, it's gone and that pain is double of that equivalent of a similar gain would be and so every time we get a rejection that loss really hurts … So reframing that and looking at the journey and what are these many steps that I'm doing that I can be successful on, hopefully can help alleviate that it's not going to take it away but it can help alleviate that.”
