Podcasts about wobegon

I was reading this great article in Harvard Business Review, which focuses on how we CAN'T recognize our weaknesses.  The other challenge is that most people feel responsible for their successes (internal), and external factors are the cause of their failures. Leaders and managers today must be more aware of others' needs due to the challenges of a global pandemic, a fragile economy, and social unrest.  Many workplace challenges stem not from bad intentions but from leaders' lack of awareness of how their actions affect others.  Self-awareness in leadership/management is crucial. Don't Get Blindsided by Your Blind Spots Join me for this week's podcast, where I focus on self-perception bias, the Wobegon effect, and improving our self-perception radar.  I will also talk about the persuasion lessons of the great persuasion con of selling the Eiffel Tower.  Discover why the con can be so persuasive.  Selling of The Eiffel Tower - The Great Con.

This spring, Ben Johnson (aka @benjohnson763) ran four marathons in four weeks: Boston, London, Eugene, and Wobegon, averaging a 2:49 pace. He only started running 5 years ago and has since lost a ton of weight and paced Meaghan to some of her personal bests along the way. He's also the true embodiment of Midwest nice and we're lucky to call him a friend. Hear about where he's at with his running, what it was like to run all those races, and what his goals are for 2023 and beyond.

We know the importance of literacy and music and the importance of getting children involved in learning through movement. What if we paired the two together, no matter the age of the students?   That's what Suan Chodakiewitz is doing through Booksical's, creating musicals from picture books for some fully immersed learning. And what she's discovered as a result is more confidence and more engagement from children of all levels.   Educational professionals have long tried to encourage children to build their literacy skills while getting the community involved in education. The idea that a picture book can be acted out helps children explore characters, plot, and backstory, and it allows both pre-readers and older students to work together on a common end goal. And who doesn't love the idea of hiding some of the learning during a fun and interactive lesson?   Listen in to Susan talk about how to bring any picture book into an interactive classroom, why improvisation and acting is such a powerful way to learn, and how to bring literacy into the community. We also talk a bit about the benefits of being multilingual and how Susan got to where she is. I love the idea of booksicles so much that I've invited Susan to work with us at my micro-school, LEADPrep.   About Susan Tresser Chodakiewitz: Susan Chodakiewitz is an author, composer, and producer.

Diary of a Fund Manager - Wobegon August by David Miller

Çağın sorunu olan bir konuyu ele alıyoruz! “Kendini benzersiz sanmak”. Çağın sorunu tam olarak bu. Kimse benzersiz ve bulunamaz değildir. Hiçbir özellik kişiye has ve saklı değildir...Siz öyle misiniz? Bu podcasti dinleyin o halde :)KreatifBiri.com için kaleme alan: Vildan Özbay

self-perception bias Ever wonder why others can’t smell their own stink? (perfume or body order)  We are good at judging others and finding out what is wrong with them, but that analysis does not seem to work on ourselves.  The same is true for our skills.  We have to have the ability to honestly access ourselves – both our strengths and weaknesses.  Then find the skills and the discipline to improve our faults.  We always will feel we must gloss over our weaknesses to make things seem better than they actually are. We also lie to ourselves about our incomes, our debt, and our true weight.  When you ask husbands and wives individually about what percent of the housework they each do – the numbers never add up.  Most people will rate their people skills as above average.  We all know that is not true.  If you want to see human blindness and bias in action, all you have to do is go to a sporting event as a neutral party and listen to the bias and comments of each opposing side.   The Research To hit this point home we need to discover our own weaknesses and be honest with our own personal reality.  Let’s take a look at some of the studies on self perception bias.  To enhance your success and your influence, you need to know exactly what skills you have mastered and which ones you need work on.  Isn’t it amazing how we tend to overestimate everything from grades and physical appearance to the possibility of divorce.   If you were in sales and you were asked to rate your ability to connect with people or your product knowledge, you would be 90 percent likely to rate yourself above average on these skills, even though mathematically the validity of your assertion should be around 50 percent.     You know all those managers you have met over the years?  Over 90 percent of them will rate themselves better than the average manager.   Did you know 80% of individuals may perceive themselves as being brighter, better drivers and more able entrepreneurs than their average peers.   One study even found that most people believe they are more ___________ than the average person.   •           Athletic •           Intelligent •           Organized •           Ethical •           Logical •           Interesting •           Fair-minded •           Attractive    The Solution It is all about true self-assessment.  When I teach influence or self mastery seminars I ask my students to list the top ten reasons for their lack of success.  They find plenty of reasons why it is not their fault for their inability to achieve their goals, but they rarely take ownership of their weaknesses or admit that it could be them.  You can always ask yourself - What traits do I need to develop to take my life, my career and my income to the next level?  My research of human nature shows that there are five critical areas that most people assess to have much higher skills than they actually have.  When other people assess themselves of these skills, their scores are much lower.  These are the five areas.   1.         People skills/empathy 2.         Persistence/determination 3.         Communication/listening 4.         Personal mastery 5.         Persuasion skills
