What really separates great football managers from the rest? In this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Peter Crouch, Notorious SID, and Chris Stark dive deep into the hidden skill that defines success in football management. From Graham Potter's bizarre motivational tactics—including getting players to take part in theatre and musical productions—to managers who completely lost the dressing room, they reveal how the best leaders get inside players' heads and inspire peak performance.Crouchy shares inside stories from the England squad, including how Sven-Göran Eriksson's team sheet mistake left him fuming, and why some players simply don't care about football. The lads also discuss other strange motivation techniques, from factory visits to unexpected dressing room speeches, and debate whether footballers today lack the same hunger as past generations.00:00 - Welcome to the Show03:00 - Sven-Göran Eriksson's Team Sheet Blunder08:30 - The Hidden Messages in Manager's Team Talks12:45 - Why Do Footballers Cover Their Mouths?17:10 - Graham Potter's Bizarre Motivation Tactics22:40 - The Factory Visit That Changed Players' Perspectives27:15 - “Some Players Just Don't Care”33:50 - What It's Like to Play Under a Truly Motivational Manager38:20 - The Dressing Room Speech That Left Players Speechless43:10 - How Managers Use Mind Games to Get the Best Out of Players48:05 - The Most Important Skill for a Football Manager52:30 - The Power of Motivation in Every JobSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Trechos do livro “Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill”, Matthieu Ricard. Matthieu Ricard é escritor, tradutor, fotografo e monge do Budismo Tibetano. Filho do filósofo Jean-François Revel, Matthieu nasceu em Aix-les-Bains, em 1946, e cresceu em meio aos círculos intelectuais da França. Aos 21 anos, fez sua primeira viagem à Índia. Aos 26, decidiu abandonar a tese de doutorado em biologia molecular no renomado Instituto Pasteur para se dedicar a uma vida de contemplação como monge budista. Então, passou a viver no Himalaia estudando com Kangyur Rinpoche e outros grandes mestres, se tornando o estudante mais próximo e assistente de Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche até sua morte. Matthieu Ricard foi um dos primeiros ocidentais a explorar em profundidade os tesouros espirituais do budismo dos Himalaias. Em 2012, pesquisadores da Universidade de Wisconsin, nos Estados Unidos, declararam que Matthieu Ricard era o homem mais feliz do mundo. O grupo de cientistas constatou que seu cérebro produzia um nível de ondas gama nunca antes relatado no campo da neurociência. O estudo revelou que, graças à meditação, Matthieu conquistou uma capacidade incrivelmente anormal de sentir felicidade e uma propensão reduzida para a negatividade Em seu ensino, Matthieu Ricard enfatiza a importância da atenção plena e da meditação como ferramentas para cultivar a consciência e a presença em nossas vidas diárias. Ele ensina técnicas de meditação que ajudam a desenvolver maior clareza, foco e uma compreensão mais profunda sobre nossos pensamentos e emoções.

“Start your goals and dreams earlier.” - Wayne BakerImagine you're on a deadline for a big project and feeling overwhelmed, or you're looking for a new job, but you can't seem to get your foot in the door, or perhaps you're facing a personal challenge and just don't know what to do. What do these problems have in common? They can all be solved simply by reaching out to a colleague, friend, acquaintance, or wider network and making an ask.Studies show that asking for help makes us better and less frustrated at our jobs. It helps us find new opportunities and new talent. It unlocks new ideas and solutions and enhances team performance, and it also helps us get the things we need outside the workplace. And yet we rarely give ourselves permission to ask.Luckily, the research shows that asking for and getting what we need is much easier than we think. Wayne Baker shares dozens of tools used at companies like Google, GM, and IDEO that individuals, teams, and leaders can use to make asking for help a personal and organizational habit, such as smart criteria for making an ask, plug and play routines that make requests a standard component of meetings, mini-games that incentivize asking within teams and the Reciprocity Ring, and Givitas tools that allow people to tap into the giving power of a network.Wayne Baker is a Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan, ROSS School of Business  Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.Click here to subscribe to The Deep Wealth Podcast to save time and effort.SELECTED LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE'All You Have To Do Is Ask'Wayne Baker (@DrWayneBaker) / TwitterJoin a Free Community of Givers | Give and Take IncWayne Baker - Faculty CO-Director - Center for Positive Organizations | LinkedInBook: Amazon.com: All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success eBook : Baker, Wayne: Kindle StoreCockroach Startups: What You Need To Know To Succeed And ProsperFREE Deep Wealth eBook on Why You Suck At Selling Your Business And What You Can Do About It (Today)Book Your FREE Deep Wealth Strategy CallResources To Have You Thrive And ProsperThe Deep Wealth Podcast brings you a wealth of world-class thought leaders who share invaluable resources and insights.

Hi everyone and welcome, I'm Tom Green, your host for this episode of  This Is Robotics, and your fellow companion on one of the most incredible journeys in human history: robotics.Thanks so much for tuning us in today.  March 20th, at 5:24 p.m. EDT) spring rolled in. It's that time of year when the ground begins to thaw, birds return, and many vendors introduce their outdoor robots. Outdoors meaning robots for backyards, construction sites, farms, and major infrastructure projects most everywhere. In short, it's springtime for robots.In honor of March, we'll review some of these new spring robots for 2023. Renovate Robotics, Swap Robotics, Built Robotics, and GlüxKind.  Then, we're off to Korea as Korea makes its $177 billion move at becoming a robotics kingpin: trying to be the third or fourth-largest producer of robots worldwide, as well as making a strong move on leadership in artificial intelligence. Big things are happening in Korea, and robotics will be a direct beneficiary of Korea's remarkable plan for AI leadership, not only in East Asia and Asia…but the entire globe.  Articles in Asian Robotics Review: Major Growth Spurt Ahead for Korean Robotics 2023-2026 Korea could leapfrog competition through integration of robotics, AI/ML, and ICT Korea's Plan for AI/ML Dominance...Brilliant! Korea looks to ramp up artificial intelligence and converge with recent successes in robotics (6x growth from 2009 to 2016). Can Korea pull it off?Our last two segments for this episode ask the question: What happened? Generative AI: Finally, America Gets a Real Wake-up CallIn 1983, the United States had 50-plus manufacturers of industrial robots. Today there are zero…as in none! Well, excepting for the recent one ABB in 2015 (Swiss/Swedish conglomerate) built in Michigan. Americans are left to "assembling" other peoples' robots. Even though the U.S invented robots.   What if there's a supply-chain fiasco preventing shipments? Or worse, what if embargos from  US alliances make it impossible to import from Germany, Japan, Italy or China.? What has that mean't for manufacturing in the U.S. today? Will America's logistics go the same way as industrial robots.Between 2000 and 2010, the US lost one-third of its manufacturing jobs. The US remains the second-largest manufacturing country in the world, but its global dominance has been well and truly lost.What happened? And is this decline a harbinger of what Generative AI might do in the very near future? We'll let you know what the leadership of DHL, a company that ships 5 billion packages annually, says about the situation.Finally, our last news report: Machine Tool Kingpins: Germany, Japan & China Machine tools keys to the future of global manufacturing.

Lenny Gray is the CEO of Rove Pest Control and D2D Millionaire. He shares the skills and traits that make a door-to-door salesman successful, and why communication is key.  Lenny started Rove Pest Control in 2003 after working in door-to-door sales for another pest control company and also serving as Vice President of training for door-to-door sales for Orkin.  Busting Door-to-Door Sales Myths Lenny is straightforward when he says that door-to-door sales is not for everybody. Most people will find out within two weeks of trying it out if it is the right role for them. For him, it was about a month into his first door-to-door sales job that he realized he could be successful.  He had just finished selling in Homewood, AL, a blue-collar neighborhood. He decided he would go to Mountainbrook, a well-off neighborhood nearby, although most of his fellow salesmen said it was too hard to sell there.  On his first knock in Mountainbrook, he was able to sell to a doctor and his wife. In that moment, he says he realized he could sell anything to anyone, anywhere.  He shares that he learned everything about selling by doing, as his company had a very short training manual. It wasn't until after he wrote his own sales book that he read other books. He felt he had his own selling style that he didn't want confused with other styles.  The Most Important Skill a Salesman Needs to Master Make each door think you've sold to everyone else in the neighborhood.  “In our company, we call it mental toughness. But at the end of the day, it's being able to go to one door and have that person at that one door be incredibly rude, condescending, you know, they call your mom a name. I don't care, whatever it is, and then you bounce back to that very next door and you act like that never happened. You can just erase it from your memory.” Weathering the Highs and Lows On July 4, 2000, in Jacksonville, FL, Lenny remembers selling 23 accounts. It was his best day ever. Two or three weeks later, he had a day where he didn't sell anything. His advice is to stay balanced during these times of highs and lows. Don't carry your negative momentum with you, only the positive.  He captured these stories of success and failure in his book “Door-to-Door Millionaire” and eventually started his consulting company that goes by the same name. During his time working in pest control and consulting other home services businesses, he has identified the traits that make or break a salesman. Successful salesmen are: Good communicators:Eye contactSmileCreative Think on their toesKnow a little about a lotRelatableHardworkingMentally toughAsk open-ended questions instead of yes or no questionsNever forget to close the sale D2D Selling In the Trades “I'm convinced that you can sell anything door to door, any type of trade industry you have, any type of home service industry, you can craft a way to have people go out, knock doors, and generate interest. Because you're actually kind of at that place where those things are needed, so it's pretty easy.” Lenny highlights that he has even seen his plan work for a no credit check finance company. If you have the right processes and system, you will be successful, no matter what industry you are in.  Lenny has just finished the rough draft of his new book that covers next level door-to-door sales tactics.

Today I talked to Matthieu Ricard about two books.  The first is A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion (Shambhala, 2016) It is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion. The second, co-authored with Jason Gruhl, is Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth (Bala Kids, 2020). It offers a story about the fundamental connection between animals and people and how we can treat all of Earth's creatures with compassion and empathy. Furry polar bears, playful sea otters, slow sloths, prickly porcupines, and slimy snakes are just a few of the many animals we share our world with. And even though we might not look the same or have the same needs as our animal neighbors, we have more in common with them than we might think. Our Animal Neighbors introduces children to the importance of treating all animals with the care and compassion they deserve. We all want to experience love, safety, and respect and this book is the first step to instilling those values at an early age. This planet is our home, and we should all be free to live a prosperous life regardless of whether we have hands, hooves, scales, or fur. Matthieu Ricard is a French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk. Ricard received a PhD in molecular genetics from the Pasteur Institute in 1972 before departing his native France to study Buddhism in the Himalayas, eventually becoming a monk of the Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal. Renowned also as a photographer and translator, he is the author of numerous previous books, including Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and Your World, Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill, and, with his father, the late Jean-François Revel, The Monk and the Philosopher: A Father and Son Discuss the Meaning of Life. He dedicates all the income of his work to two hundred humanitarian projects run in the Himalaya by the organization he founded, Karuna-Shechen.

Today I talked to Matthieu Ricard about two books.  The first is A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion (Shambhala, 2016) It is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion. The second, co-authored with Jason Gruhl, is Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth (Bala Kids, 2020). It offers a story about the fundamental connection between animals and people and how we can treat all of Earth's creatures with compassion and empathy. Furry polar bears, playful sea otters, slow sloths, prickly porcupines, and slimy snakes are just a few of the many animals we share our world with. And even though we might not look the same or have the same needs as our animal neighbors, we have more in common with them than we might think. Our Animal Neighbors introduces children to the importance of treating all animals with the care and compassion they deserve. We all want to experience love, safety, and respect and this book is the first step to instilling those values at an early age. This planet is our home, and we should all be free to live a prosperous life regardless of whether we have hands, hooves, scales, or fur.

The Most Important Skill you can start practicing today regarding your financial situation is to stop lying about money! Yep, that's right. It is time for you to be totally honest and direct when it comes to talking about cash. White lies about money are disastrous.    Let's look at what happens when you lie: - You say you saved $40 on a sale rather than the actual amount of $36 - You then begin rounding dollars and cents in your head in a way that caters to your buying habits  - Over months you lose track of the amount of money you seriously are spending - After a year you get your credit card bill and your stunned that you are so far in debt - Make sure you speak the truth about money.

I talk to Jeremy Lipkowitz, who is a Search Inside Yourself certified teacher, a leadership coach, a meditation teacher, an emotional intelligence trainer, and founder of Untangling The Mind. I met Jeremy in Chiang Mai, Thailand and found out that throughout his life, although he consistently achieved his academic and career goals, he felt empty inside and ultimately unhappy. This lead to unhealthy addictions, which Jeremy also openly talks about. This episode is a fascinating discussion about purpose, meaning and also some of the quite big career changes Jeremy has had personally in his life. What I love about Jeremy is that he has a solid background in science, spending 4 years on his PhD in Genetics, and throughout his quest for happiness, he’s found some game-changing tools for high-achievers and high performers to find meaning and happiness, with or without having to change the job or career you’re in.In this episode we discuss:From being allergic to spirituality as a scientist to understanding it (as a scientist)Jeremy’s big career changes - from science to trading tea to teaching mindfulness and meditationHow to decide whether to stay in your career or not if you feel unfulfilledPractical tips to start uncovering purpose and meaning in your life to feel less empty insideShifting from a mindset of self interest to one of contribution to othersWhat’s the one thing that makes Jeremy Lipkowitz burn from within?

Today we’re bringing you another important episode on the theme of #F*ckShame! This time, we’re covering a topic that we’ve never talked about before on the podcast, and that is shame around money. In our society, a lot of us are made out to feel that we don’t have enough money in a lot of different ways. Either we don’t own the right house (or own a house at all), drive the right car, make enough money at our job; fill in the blank. Personal finances are often a deep source of shame and can even become a huge issue between couples as well.   Our guest today, Shannon McLay, is an expert on all things money. She is the CEO and founder of an organization called The Financial Gym. We take care of our health, brain, and body… but one thing we often overlook is “exercising” our finances. What we love about Shannon is that she addresses becoming “financially fit” in an incredibly practical way that meets people where they are.   We hope you join us this episode to address money-shame head-on with our incredible guest, Shannon McLay! Definitely get out your pen and paper; we know this is one you’re going to want to take notes for.   IGNTD Specials: IGNTD Live Online Groups (Free for 14 Days) IGNTD Subscription ($43 per month & 30 days of Live Groups included) IGNTD “Once an Addict” Campaign   Topics Discussed: [:30] About today’s episode!

I know how distractions work from the inside. For over a decade, I’ve helped tech companies build products to keep you clicking. In fact, I wrote the book about it in 2014: Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. I wrote Hooked for companies who wanted to help their customers build healthy habits, like going to the gym regularly and eating right. But in the process of researching the book, I found that some products drew some people in too much, including me. I remember sitting with my daughter one afternoon doing activities from a book written to help daddies and daughters bond. One exercise consisted of asking each other the following question: “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?” Between the moment I asked the question and when my daughter could answer, I felt a buzz in my pocket. A work email diverted my attention.

  For those on the path to financial independence, finance, fitness, and life optimization all intersect. During her career in the banking industry, Shannon McLay found it didn't work for the people she wanted to help. She set out to use her skill set and training to change the coaching industry and founded Financial Gym. Even for those who not physically fit, they know what it looks like and there are many resources available for achieving it. The path the financial independence is similar in that it is a long journey. You have to work up to it, will experience setbacks, and take breaks. Much like diets, budgets don't work long-term. Making lifestyle changes is the key to success. At the Financial Gym, clients hit 90% of the goals set for themselves by examining their money behaviors and constantly working to figure out what's will work for them. The two largest emotions people have regarding money are fear and shame. Once people drop these highly charged emotions and understand the financial numbers don't define them, they can break through and embrace moving forward. After turning 30, Shannon realized she didn't want the life she was leading. Her life's trajectory changed when she came to understand that to have long-term sustainable happiness is to help other people and not expect anything in return. During her work as a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch, she discovered she enjoyed helping out her pro bono clients far more than the wealthy ones. It allowed her to see there was a need for a service where it didn't matter what you looked like financially, you just needed to get financially healthy. Much like going to the gym to get healthy, her concept of a financial gym was a place to meet with financial trainers for a monthly membership fee. Following the model of H&R Block, Shannon believed people wanted to meet with a financial advisor face-to-face. She was advised to prove the model would work before looking to raise money. Experimenting with different plans and prices, she had great success with her first clients increasing their net worth. Clients wanted to keep working with her, but she was running out of money to continue investing in her business. When a former boss invested $100,000 in her concept, she rebranded using the gym concept. The physical environment of the Financial Gym created a community where clients had a shared goal and a safe space to talk about money. Shannon was able to scale her business by developing a training program and teaching compassionate and empathetic people what she knew. Those contemplating becoming an entrepreneur should ask themselves, “Am I a good problem solver?” because running a business is like solving a lot of word problems. No one's financial situation is so bad that it can't be fixed. The trainers at the Financial Gym have seen and fixed it all. On average, clients pay $70-80 a month for membership, but they offer a six-month money-back guarantee which they've never needed to pay out on. The average client increases their net worth by $2,500, increases their credit score by 60 points, and negotiates a $5,000 a year salary increase within the first 3 months of membership.

How do you define creativity? If we encourage our kids to be creative, will they be more successful in life? Adam and Marc explore the topic of creativity with Chris Ballew, lead singer of Presidents of the United States of America, creator of Caspar Babypants, and, dare we say, friend of the show. Also, the trials of talking to our kids about how to say no when something feels off. And what was Marc's childhood buffoonery that should have cursed him with gingivitis for life? Episode 17 opens with a discussion on... you guessed it: creativity. Why is it important? How is it useful? How does teaching and encouraging creativity as dads help our kids in the long run? The guys waste no time introducing a guest who is celebrated frequently on the show, and who is a supremely creative being: Chris Ballew. A father of two, Chris shares stories of his stately tenure with Presidents of the United States of America, his time writing, recording, and performing Caspar Babypants, and of course, being a dad. Born to a line of musicians and immersed in music and art since birth, Augie and Josie Ballew have creativity in their blood. Now in their 20s, Chris explains how they have used that creativity to carve their own paths.

Wayne Baker is a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and author of All You Have to Do Is Ask, his sixth book. He directs the Center for Positive Organizations and also co-founded Give and Take Inc., an Ann Arbor-based technology firm. Through Wayne’s research, he has discovered that leaders are often happy to help others, but are unwilling to ask for help themselves. The good news is that you can create healthy environments in your organization where asking for help is encouraged and rewarded.   Key Takeaways [2:40] As an avid sailor, Wayne had to learn to not panic when everything went awry. [5:35] Some people ask for what they want and others take what’s given. [7:50] Wayne has observed that there are some mentors that want you to be mini versions of them, but he recalls a great mentor of his who was always trying to push Wayne to be a better version of himself. [11:20] People want to be generous, but don’t always know how to help unless you ask them to. [12:15] There are four steps to making a thoughtful request.1. What is the goal of your request?2. What are the resources you need? Come up with a SMART request. And then find ‘who’ you need to ask. [16:50] Most people will help you if you ask! [19:25] It’s hard for leaders to be vulnerable and to ask for help. You can break this mold by creating a 15-minute staff meeting addressing what you need help with. When it’s expected that everyone is supposed to ask for help, it makes it easier for leaders to get the support they need. [25:00] When asking for feedback, it’s important to know what are both your strengths and weaknesses, but you want to get these two pieces of information at different times so that you can better process it. [26:35] Don’t feel comfortable asking for help? Go out and help others first, and then you’ll feel more confident asking for help in return. [30:00] Nobody associates Bill Gates with having a partner or a team, but throughout his career, Bill has relied heavily on the partnerships of others. [32:15] Men have a harder time asking for help compared to women. Wayne believes it has something to do with the way boys and men were raised and socialized. [35:20] It’s a powerful leadership moment when you ask someone for help and together you co-create a solution. [36:20] We are living in a time where we get to reinvent work. [37:00] People support what they help create, so it’s critical to ask for feedback, input, and help. [39:30] Asking for help now is more important than ever. As more people work from home and feel isolated, reach out to your network, do work lunches together, and be proactive in being connected to your social network.   Quotable Quotes “The greatest hazard to a mariner is your calendar when you feel you’ve got to be someplace at some time.” “What I discovered over time: asking is the key to generosity.” “One of the barriers to making your request is we might assume that people are unwilling or unable to help us.” “When you know everyone’s going to make a request, it’s a lot easier for you to make a request.” “By helping other people, you earn the privilege of asking for help.” “Unless the leader is willing to ask, they’re going to get limited success in getting other people to do it as well.” “It’s a leadership moment if you ask someone for help and together you co-create a solution.”   Resources and Books Mentioned Waynebaker.org All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success, by Wayne Baker “Feed Forward: Leadership Excellence,” essay by Marshall Goldsmith “Self-Reliance,” essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson   The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by:     Cultivate Grit.

How much of a role can asking others for help play in achieving our goals? It turns out, quite a bit. In fact, research shows that we're more likely to achieve success if we make asking for help a part of our strategy. Yet, according to Wayne Baker, author of the book, All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success, most of us rarely do. There are a number of reasons why. One of the most common is our fear that we'll be seen as incompetent. Another is our assumption that we'll be rejected when we ask. Yet research reveals what tends to happen is the opposite. Wayne explains, "The research shows very clearly that even strangers are very likely to help...so, you start with the assumption that most people will help you if they can, and they want to help you." In this interview, Wayne describes tools we can use to get better at asking for help. He even shares the story of putting one of these tools to work for a very special ask of his own -- his tenth wedding anniversary. In fact, his ask led to him giving his wife a surprise ring on national television. Wayne explains, "I had it in my pocket, and I asked them for permission to give it to her. And they let me do it, on air. It was amazing...It was just this incredible experience." Wayne Baker is Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan. He is also faculty director of the Center for Positive Organizations and co-founder and board member of Give and Take. His writing has appeared in publications like, Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and MIT Sloan Management Review.

Meet Dr. Wayne Baker Dr. Wayne Baker is the author of All You Have To Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success (Jan 14, 2020). He is the Robert P. Thome (“Toe-May”) Professor of Business Administration at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, as well as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations. Wayne is a co-founder and board member of Give and Take, Inc., which develops technologies based on the principles in his new book. Why is asking for what you need such an important skill for success? We found that people tend to be very generous at work and in their lives and they're very well regarded for that. Most people want to be helpful and will help when they can. But they don't ask for what they need. And because they don't ask, they don't get the inflow of all the resources you need to be successful. It could be knowledge, information, referrals, ideas, contacts, Any kind of resource that you need to be productive and to do well at work. So why is it so difficult for people to ask for what they need? There's a couple of reasons. One is that people are concerned or they're worried that they'll appear to be incompetent, weak that they can't do their jobs. Another very common obstacle is that people figure no one can help. Many, many times I've run different events and activities using the tools in my book, and people will take me aside and say, you know, I'm not going to ask for what I really need, because I know no one could help me. And I always tell them the same thing, which is to never know what people know, or who they know. Until you ask. What can people and teams do to build social capital? The most important thing is to give yourself permission to ask and to realize that asking is an essential part of the equation. So if everyone wanted to be a giver, and everyone wanted to help, nothing would happen. So what we found that in the workplace is that most people are willing to help. In fact, the studies there show up to 90% of the help that is given in the workplace is in response to a request, but most people don't ask, so therefore, nothing really happens.  Can you share with our listeners your most successful or favorite networking experience that you've had? Well, I think the one I would have to relate goes back a number of years. When my wife and I were coming up on our 10th wedding anniversary, I said to her, you know, what would you like to do? She said, I want to be on Emerald Live in New York City to celebrate our anniversary. I was participating in the orientation program for all of our incoming MBA students here at the Ross School of Business. I said, you know, I'm gonna take my own medicine I'm gonna make a big request and I use the "smart criteria." Like five people came forward and said, one person said, you know, I know someone who's dating Emerald's daughter and I can make an introduction for you. We were connected. As you continue to build and grow your network and community can you share how you stay in front of over best nurture these relationships? There's a couple of things that are important to do. One is to stay in contact, but stay in contact in a meaningful way. Look for opportunities to share something of value. It's like a little investment. I just think it's part of the importance of building a network is that you want to be an investor, you want to help other people, you want to be generous.  What advice would you offer the business professional who is looking to grow their network? I would say it would be three parts Join. Give. Ask. So it'd be to join a meaningful group. It could be join a LinkedIn group, or there's so many online communities. Then look for opportunities to give, you know, a few, almost every conversation, you can listen with that intention in mind. And then of course, whenever you need help, to ask for it whenever you need a resource to get your work done, to solve a problem, to ask for what your needs. So it's those three things to Join. Give. Ask. Between digital networking and traditional networking, which one do you find more value in? It's kind of hard to answer because I think they each have their place. Traditional networking occurs in the daily grind of our lives where we interact with and meet people. And in those encounters, we can look for ways to help. And also ask when we have a need or goal we're trying to achieve. And then the digital networking. It's a small world now it really expands our whole universe. I think they both have their place and I I kind of look for more opportunities to use digital technology as a way of investing in your network and then asking when you need something. We've all heard of the six degrees of separation. Now, who would be the one person that you'd love to connect with? And do you think you could do it within the six degree? I've always wanted to meet Bill Gates. And there are two people that I'm connected with on LinkedIn that I know know him. So that I guess would be two degrees of separation.  Can you share with our listeners what book you're reading right now? Or maybe a podcast you're listening to? So one is that I am re-reading, Give and Take by Adam Grant. Adam was one of our PhD students from about 10-12 years ago and he is just an incredible person who has done wonderful things out there in the world. I've learned a lot from him. And then the other side is that if I have a vice it's science fiction. So I'm currently reading The Lost Colony by A.G. Riddle. It's the third in a in a series. Do you have any final word or advice to offer our listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network? I would say to become more active on LinkedIn. And to look for ways to find interesting things and share it or re-post it on LinkedIn.  How to connect with Wayne: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynebaker/ Book Website: https://allyouhavetodoisask.com/ Personal Website: https://www.waynebaker.org/

Marcel Schwantes welcomes Dr. Wayne Baker to this week’s Love In Action show. Wayne is the co-founder and board member of Give and Take Inc. He also serves as the Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. His work has been published in Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and Sloan Management Review. His teaching and research focus on social capital, social networks, generosity and positive organizations. He chats with Marcel about the art of making strategic asks as detailed in his new book, All You Have To Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success. Generalized reciprocity is when one person helps another, and that person is motivated to pay it forward. The cycle of reciprocity eventually comes back around to the person who started it. [7:11] Wayne realized that people had no problem being generous; however, many people struggle with asking for help. This is problematic because it is the request that drives the process of giving and receiving. [7:51] Marcel asks about the barriers that cause us to be reluctant to ask for help. Wayne answers: [8:40] We think we’d look incompetent. Making a thoughtful request however, makes us seem more competent. [9:00] We think no one can help. Wayne counters that you never know what or who people know until you ask. [9:25] We’re too self-reliant. In the real world, work is a team sport. [10:16] We don’t feel psychologically safe. The leader should be the chief help seeker, Wayne says. He or she should model the behavior that makes a psychologically safe workplace. [11:00] Fear is also a barrier. Wayne advocates the behavior first principle: it’s hard to change people’s beliefs and then their behavior; instead, get them to do something different, and they’ll update their beliefs as a result. [12:54] Bureaucracy, in particular organizational silos or excessive rules and regulations, is another reason. Wayne shares how cross collaboration can help break these barriers down. [13:40] Wayne describes his company’s digital platform, Givitas. He says it’s “based on the principle of enabling people to ask for what they need.” [15:40] Marcel asks Wayne to explain why asking for help can mean the difference between success and failure. Wayne replies that when an individual asks for help, he/she is more productive, performs better, has higher job satisfaction and less stress. He also describes the benefits of asking for help on the team and organizational levels. [16:15] A thoughtful request is SMART: Specific Meaningful Action - you should ask for something to be done. Realistic  Time - set a specific deadline. [18:27] You should only think about who you should ask after you know what you want to accomplish and the resources you need, and you’ve formulated a SMART request. [20:08] Marcel asks Wayne to define and describe the Reciprocity Ring. Wayne explains that it came out of a discussion with his wife 21 years ago. He describes how using it leads to positive attitude and behavior change. [28:05] “People are more likely to do what is recognized and rewarded,” Wayne says. As such, he advocates rewarding those who make requests. [32:04] Wayne shares a miracle that happened because someone gave themselves permission to ask. [35:05] Wayne wants listeners to …”give yourself permission to ask, to think about what you need personally, what you might need professionally that will help you be more effective, more successful, and to make that request.” [39:30] Marcel’s takeaways from this episode include:  “Make asking a personal and organizational habit and a cultural expectation in your workplace, and also have the tools and strategies in place to support asking.” “...asking is the key to giving at work, at home or anywhere in your life.” Resources AllYouHaveToDoIsAsk.com

In This Episode: Void and Beej are here with hard earned tips and tricks for working from home.  We’ve done this off and on for years at this point so we wanted to let everyone know some of the things we’ve figured out that a lot of you are dealing with for the first time. Separate Work Space From Home Space If you don’t have enough room for that… then you need a “work mode” and “home mode” for your setup. Void has always had a work desk and a home desk in different areas of the house. His home desk has his gaming PC while the work desk is only set up for a laptop with work stuff on it. Beej does, this, too. He has both a laptop and a desktop and finds that when he needs to really work, he can get on the laptop to be less distracted from stuff than on the gaming pc. The Macbook is set up solely for work, while the gaming PC can be used for both. When You're Done, Be Done No one is watching you as closely as you think they are. Bosses included. You have to work and hit your deadlines, but when your day is supposed to be over, then truly disconnect and let it be over. If you have a Do Not Disturb function (Slack does, for instance), use it. Some jobs might not have this luxury, but if you do, set a time for DND mode and abide by it. Beej, for instance, stops working around 5pm but keeps Slack on DND past 7pm. That way, communication can still happen and handled when necessary, but it's on his terms. After 7pm, it can wait until 8am. Take Breaks From Your Workspace In the office, this happens organically through a lot of interruptions, casual chats, trips to the water cooler, and things like that. It won’t happen as much at home. Things will distract you, yes, but they won't be "breaks" as often. We've found that these are the best ways to disconnect for us. But yours might be different. That's okay. Just make sure you're taking breaks and disconnecting from work at regular intervals. 15-minute walk around the block, house, yard Play a video game for half an hour Take an actual hour break for lunch and make yourself some home-cooked food Beej suggests In The Floor Time with your pets. It really brightens the day. Communication is the Most Important Skill for Remote Work You need to stay in contact with your co-workers and supervisors. But it doesn't have to be constant. If you’re responding to people in an hour or less, you’re typically doing just fine. Emails can even wait longer because most people don't check them constantly. Don't be afraid of phone calls. Casual chats can’t happen so sometimes it’s a lot easier to get on the phone instead of sending 15 emails back and forth. Video chats actually do help, too. One-on-one calls with supervisors or employees with video make you feel much less alone. Talk to Other Humans. Regularly. No matter what kind of communication it is, make sure you're talking to other human beings regularly. Your pets are great listeners, but they aren't the best conversationalists. Other people help stimulate us and make us feel connected. So talk to them. Talk in your work Slack. Not just work Slack, though. We highly recommend having Slack groups that you’re a part of. Join our Slack server at https://slack.geektogeekmedia.com. We have an awesome community there, and we're all in this together. Same for Discord (https://discord.geektogeekmedia.com) and Twitter (@geektogeekcast or #GeekToGeek). These are lifelines. Use them. Working From Home Can Help Form New Habits Void started intermittent fasting when he was working from home because he had complete control of his schedule. Maybe you can start eating much healthier much easier when you can make food in your own kitchen for every meal. It’s easier to sneak exercise into your routine when you have more control over your schedule. Instead of a full lunch break, maybe take that hour at the end of the day and go for a run or to the gym. Working from home gives you a lot more flexibility than being in an office. We highly suggest you take advantage of that and get yourself a better quality of life. G2G Smashfest: Coronavirus Edition! G2G Smash Fest!

Are you feeling overwhelmed at work? Trying to find a job, but can't seem to get your foot in the door? Have you been knocking your head against a problem over and over again, but haven't made any headway on it? My guest today says you can solve most of these issues by simply asking for help.  His name is Wayne Baker, he's a sociologist, consultant, and the author of the book All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success. We begin our conversation discussing what the research says are the benefits of asking for help and why people are nevertheless so reluctant to do it. Wayne then provides insights on how to overcome those obstacles in asking for help, the best way to formulate an ask so that it actually gets a response, and how to handle rejection. We then turn to Wayne's research on how organizations can benefit from creating a culture of help-seeking and what you can do within the organizations you belong to to foster such a culture.

Wayne is a cofounder and board member of Give and Take Inc., developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform based on principles in All You Have to Do Is Ask.In this episode, Stew and Wayne talk about the science and art of both asking for and giving help, and we need to be able to do both. Getting the support we need to achieve our goals, at work and in all the rest of life, is too often inhibited by difficulties we face in asking for it. In this conversation, Wayne describes and illustrates what the barriers are that hold people back from asking for help and what can be done to overcome them. He explains the essential elements of an effective request -- that it’s specific, meaningful, action-oriented, realistic, and time-bound -- and how to assess your style of giving and receiving help, as a useful starting point for becoming smarter about how to cultivate generosity in all the relationships that matter to you.

Wayne Baker, professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, has spent much of his career researching the best way to effectively ask for help at work. Whether you're soliciting support on a tricky assignment or more resources for your team, it can feel uncomfortable to approach bosses and colleagues with hat in hand. But we rarely get what we need or want without asking for it. Baker highlights some of the most effective strategies for defining your goal, figuring out who to ask, and crafting your message so it will be positively received. He is also the author of the book “All You Have to Do Is Ask: How to Master the Most Important Skill for Success.”

If you are an educator, school administrator, parent, camp counsellor, or employer, chances are you've had experience with challenging behaviours. So often, we focus on crisis-management and behaviour-modification to attempt to make challenging behaviours "go away," but as we know, sticker charts and reward systems do little to encourage intrinsic motivation and, furthermore, do not address the underlying problems that cause the problematic behaviours.  I sat down with Dr. Ross Greene this summer to discuss his Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model in order to learn how we can solve some of the most challenging school behaviours.  Here are some things we discuss:  The Four Main Philosophies that guide Collaborative Proactive Solutions: Kids do well if they can.  Your explanation guides your intervention. Be responsible to the hand you've been dealt. Challenging behaviours occur when certain demands and expectations exceed a kid's ability to respond adaptively to their environment. It's a method of communication. The Three Main "Umbrella" Lagging Skills Flexibility/ Adaptability Frustration Tolerance Problem Solving Inclusion through the lens of teaching lagging skills and taking an empathic approach to adapting to problems integrating 100% of the time within the classroom for 100% of tasks **The Most Important Skill for an educator to lead with ** **A Step-by-Step Framework to Implement CPS  ** Empathy Step: Information gathering from the student- "What is hard for you about_? How does that make it hard for you to ?" Define Adult Concerns: Explain and articulate adult expectations  Invitation: Collaboration on a solution (having the student come up with some possible solutions to the problem and coming to a realistic, mutually satisfactory solution. "I wonder if there is something we can do about do that you can ? Do you have any ideas?" A Real World Example of CPS in Action: Dr. Greene takes us through a step-by-step example of the process **Dr. Ross Greene answers 2 audience questions related to: ** Teen peer pressure School-Family Partnerships Dr. Ross Greene's book recommendation: Sara Laurence Lightfoot's The Essential Conversation Dr. Ross W. Greene is the author of Raising Human Beings, Lost and Found, Lost at School, and The Explosive Child. Dr. Greene was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over twenty years, and is now founding director of the nonprofit organization Lives in the Balance (LivesintheBalance.org), through which he disseminates the model of care—now called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions—described in his books. Dr. Greene’s research has been funded by the US Department of Education, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Stanley Medical Research Institute, and the Maine Juvenile Justice Advisory Group. He speaks widely throughout the world.

“The most effective change requires doing things differently both on a mental and a physical level.” (4:40-4:49)Tasha Blasi The FU Project Podcast Kate Rouze, our mindset and relationship coach for the FU Project Workshop, teaches women how to improve their mindsets and relationships during the crazy fertility process. This was the topic for my latest episode of the FU Project podcast. You can listen here. The key to changing your life is to realize that you can actually change and that there is a huge mind-body connection. This happens when you break the internal victim dialogue of “I am this, because this happened.” Where are you on the Drama Triangle? The Drama Triangle: Victim, Villain, Hero You are in Drama Triangle anytime you criticize yourself or someone else, are stressed out, or have repeating emotions and thoughts. The Drama Triangle model, created by Stephen Karpman in the 1960s, represents three different roles you can play while in drama: Victim - “Poor me, I can't …” Villain - “It's all your fault; if you would do this, then I could ...” Hero - “Let me help you, because you're incapable.” When filling one of these roles on the Drama Triangle, anyone you are interacting with will play one of the other two roles. Most of us are in some version of the Drama Triangle dance all day long, every day, with everybody. “Everything on the Drama Triangle is a flavor of victim. The antidote to victim is empowerment, which is saying, “I am creating my life.'” (EP 17 33:59-34:10) While you can't choose what someone else says or does, you can choose how it affects you. You can choose to be a victim or you can choose to grow and be stronger because of it. Relationships and the Fertility Journey The most frequent relationship question we get from women on the fertility journey is how to get more support from their partner. If you're asking this question, the answer is simple. If you want more of something, start by appreciating what you already have. It's when we start thinking we have a lack that relationships go downhill. “I receive exactly the amount of support that I am capable of receiving. So if I want more support, my job is not to go tell my partner what they're doing wrong. My job is to go inside and expand my own capacity to receive.” (EP17 42:49-43:24) The fertility journey can bring tension and friction into our relationship with our partner. When this happens, awareness is the first step to change. Often the issue at hand isn't the REAL problem. When you give yourself the space to look at the underlying issue, you'll understand yourself and your partner in a new way. It's amazing to see how this intentionality can melt away those issues that have caused one million fights for partners over the years. The Most Important Skill for Women Struggling with Fertility The fertility journey brings up every edge in your psyche that you haven't been willing to address. The most important skill you can learn is to flow with and then let go of those emotions so that you're not carrying around stress, anger, bitterness, and resentment. This fertility stuff is intense. Women who choose to work through these issues have a strong chance of getting what they want because they've allowed themselves to receive the support they need. Give yourself the freedom to dig deep, adjust your mindset, and take one step closer to holding that precious baby in your arms.

Matthieu Ricard is helping us redefine happiness in a culture convinced that it’s a passive experience. The French-born Tibetan Buddhist monk reframes happiness not as pleasure but as practice that requires discipline — akin to marathon training or learning chess. He asks, “What are the inner conditions that foster a genuine sense of flourishing, of fulfillment?” Ricard is the author of “Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill” and “Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the World.” Find the transcript at onbeing.org.

We have a great guest today as Tiffany Tong, Strategic Initiatives lead at Canada’s Smartest Kitchen, enters the scene and brings with her an amazing story about doing what you should do, versus doing what you want to do. See, Tiffany didn’t start in food. Not for a long time. She was actually in the ever stable and lucrative oil and gas industry. Her switch to food seemed easy on paper, but as we dive deeper in the interview, you realize that the journey had its challenges. I really appreciate Tiffany for sharing her story, and along with that, we talk a lot about how to strategize your company’s target clients, how to apprentice for a celebrity chef, and some really cool food jobs we found on the internet.

I’m excited to bring you this conversation with Danielle Dutton, acclaimed Margaret the First author, whose own mother instilled an appreciation for reading and education early in her life. Danielle and I spent many family holidays together growing up because our mothers have been life-long friends. But, it’s been years since I’ve spoken with Danielle and it was such a joy to hear about the E.P.I.C life she is living. Danielle is the author of three books, most recently Margaret the First, based on the life of Margaret Cavendish, a 17th century Duchess who wrote and published poems, plays and other works during a time when “being a writer” was not an option for most women.  In addition to being an author herself, Danielle also co-founded, with her husband, the independent press called Dorothy, a publishing project. The press came from her own desire to create more space for innovative works by female authors. It is named for her great aunt, a librarian who drove a bookmobile through the backroads of Southern California, delivering books to underserved desert communities.  Born and raised in California, Danielle now lives in Missouri, where she teaches in the writing program at Washington University in St. Louis and enjoys time with her husband and eight year old son, both writers themselves. Danielle and I talked about the small steps she took along the way in her life, from working in a book store in England to taking a writing class and then applying for her MFA on a whim, that brought her to where she is today. She shares with honesty how she has moved through depression and anxiety and how she has become a kinder person since becoming a mother to her son, who she says is hilarious and her favorite person in the world.   We also discuss the importance of a mindful daily practice. How Buddhist meditation has begun to transform the way she thinks about herself, helping her to go down the “right roads” in her thoughts. And she shares how the books she has authored came from both a mindset of patience and a commitment to daily writing. I found Danielle to be totally delightful and was inspired by her honesty, her sincerity and this way in which she comes across at the same time relatable and brilliant. I hope you will join me in exploring the resources she shared in Buddhist meditation and also in following through on her challenge to read more, read books we wouldn’t normally read, and make time and space for a writing project of our own to emerge.  Topics discussed in this episode: The impact Danielle’s mother had on her life and on her own journey as a mother  The unique gifts her great aunt, a librarian, sent her as a child that planted seeds for Dorothy, the feminist press Danielle co-created Danielle’s struggle with anxiety and depression and how mindfulness and meditation has helped her The various, but significant, shifts that Danielle has experienced to get to where she is today How her son is her favorite person and how becoming a mother has changed her The need Danielle saw in the cultural conversation of including more women writers and their voices in the literary world  Neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to change and adapt How her press became part of Danielle’s support network and why a community of self is also important Resources mentioned in this episode: Dorothy, a publishing project - Danielle’s press Danielle’s book, Margaret the First: A Novel The Wallcreeper by Nell Zink On Being with Krista Tippett, a podcast Tara Brach, a psychologist and proponent of Buddhist meditation Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill by Matthieu Ricard Modeh Ani Morning Prayer/Song (version by my cantor Elena Jagoda) that I sing each day after a short morning meditation A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf Announcements: If you haven’t yet visited the website, I want to invite you to head over to mothersquest.com to explore some of the ways you can get more connected.
