    The Lords of Discipline: A Journey of Self Discovery and Shared Experiences

    Jon Hansen

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business

    Call-in Number: (347) 326-9234


    Will is an outsider and finds life as a first-year cadet in training at the Institute to be physically and emotionally brutal. But he finds solace in three boys who become his great friends: Tradd St. Croix, an "old Charlestonian;" Dante "Pig" Pignetti; and Mark Santoro, two brawny, Northern boys of Italian descent. But McLean's journey to manhood is full of twists and turns, as he meets a girl whose life he can never be a part of and hears rumors of The Ten, a mysterious Institute secret society that ensures certain cadets, deemed unacceptable to "wear the ring" (that is, to be a graduate of the Institute, who wear an exquisite ring denoting their alma mater), are run out by any means necessary. The above excerpt describing Pat Conroy's 1980 novel "The Lords of Discipline" provides the provoctive backdrop for today's show. Appearing for the first time as a guest host on the PI Window on Business is Jim Bouchard, whose "Think Like a Black Belt" mindset and 20 year quest for what he refers to as "the keys to personal and professional success," parallels McLean's journey through the trials that lead to a greater understanding of both himself and life. Like Mclean’s three friends, Jim is joined by three equally inspirational individuals whose own unique perspectives on life and the discipline it takes to succeed are powerful in their understanding and candor. Consisting of three separate 15 minute vignette interviews, the show concludes with Troy Evans. Evans, a one time drug addict and bank robber who is now a major success in consulting and speaking, will share his story in what promises to be one of the most memorable 60 minutes in the show's history. Perhaps from this shared experience, and like the book itself, we too will discover that while "things might turn out in the end" it is through our displine for ourselves, and serving the better angels of our nature that a true redemption and realization of all we can be is ultimately achieved.

    Against Happiness: Are We Trying Too Hard to Be Happy?

    Jon Hansen

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business


    Winston Churchill is someone for whom I had and have a great deal of admiration. From the determined "Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense," to "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts," I am to this day moved by the heart and drive of a person who like all of us, is a fallible human being. Yet it is in this very fallibility, and the challenges of his "black dog" that author and psychiatrist Anthony Storr wrote of Churchill: "Had he been a stable and equable man, he could never have inspired the nation. In 1940, when all the odds were against Britain, a leader of sober judgment might well have concluded that we were finished." In his new book “Against Happiness,” Wake Forest University professor Eric Wilson asks whether we are trying too hard to be happy, and whether over medication is draining our culture of the melancholy that historically gave rise to many great artists and writers. Does the quest to numb ourselves to the point of blissful ambivalence and avoid the reality of the full range of our emotions somehow deprive us of the very drive that propels us to overcome and ultimately attain real happiness? I can only shudder to think where we would be if Winston Churchill had made the decision to mute his "divine discontent." To explore this controversial and thought-provoking subject, I am pleased to welcome Eric Wilson to today's show.

    Fear of Success and the Influence of Positive Mindset

    In yesterday's segment I opened with the following reference "American psychologist, Matina Souretis Horner, who was the 6th President of Radcliffe College is known for pioneering the concept of fear of success." An article from March 20, 1972 in Time Magazine indicated that "Even though the number of educated women is at an alltime high, the representation of women in the traditionally male professions is still extremely low. One likely reason for this paradox, says Harvard Psychologist Matina Horner, is that U.S. women actively fear success." The article continued with "The revelation about fear of success came from the one sex "cue" included in the experiment. Horner had modified the familiar TAT (Thematic Apperception Test*) to require males to write about the success of another male, females on the success of a female. Asked to write about a mythical girl at the top of her medical school class, more than 65% of the women associated her success with depression, illness and sometimes even death. Asked to write about a boy in the same position, 90% of the men equated his success with happiness and prosperity. The women obviously seemed afraid of success." Finally, "Horner discovered that women's fear of success increases with their ability, and that the greater their fear, the less well they do in competition with men. She also found that fear of success increases as women progress farther in school, affecting as many as 90% of college juniors." Joining me today to talk about how, and to what degree things have changed since Horner's research was presented in the 1972 article is Ingrid Elfver. Ingrid is one of the world's leading mindset experts, helping women (and highly evolved men) to understand how their current mindset might be hurting their business; why most entrepreneurs struggle to maintain a positive mindset; and how they can develop and maintain a positive mindset – one that can withstand any fear, doubt, challenge, or crisis.

    Stop Sabotaging Your Sales Career?

    American psychologist, Matina Souretis Horner, who was the 6th President of Radcliffe College is known for pioneering the concept of fear of success. A March 20th, 1972 Time Magazine article highlighted Horner's "revelation about fear of success" through the modification of" the familiar TAT (Thematic Apperception Test*)." While the results in and of themselves warrants a separate show, are the fears that all of us to varying degrees experience in our careers and personal lives actually sabotaging our ability to succeed? According to Tim Davis and Nick Thomas, Americas Small Business Success Coaches and Marketing Evangelists there are 41 common self sabotaging sales behaviors. In their new book "Dude, Seriously" Davis and Thomas show you how to fix these behaviors before you go broke! In today's show, I am joined by Tim Davis to dig a little deeper in an effort to understand why we do the things we do in our careers, and how his and Thomas' insights led to the writing of their book.

    Sociology and Business Intelligence

    While it is easy to fall into the trap of dismissing Business (BI) as semantically-based Madison Avenue "buzz words," they are in effect a very real part of a much larger picture. A picture "where the traditional lines associated with functional silos are ceding to a more holistic or enterprise-wide understanding of operational areas that were previously off limits." Specifically, and much like the hard lines that once defined departmental responsibilities and focus, data or intelligence was compartmentalized into neat packages of limited enterprise-wide understanding. With the advent of Software-as-a Service (SaaS) and Bi-Portal architectures, organizational divides of compartmentalized intelligence have been bridged to meet the complex needs of dynamic, globally engaged corporations. In a world that is becoming increasingly competitive, BI represents the difference between profit and loss, success or closure, jobs or unemployment. How does your company make the decisions that affect your livelihood? Joining me today to discuss the emergence of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based Business Intelligence platforms is Viador's Vice President, Services Thomas Abbott.

    The Leader Undone: When the Wheels Come Off!

    Dennis McCallum observed that "The biggest problem with many of us is that we are soft from too much success. We are like a child riding a bike on training wheels who thinks he has actually learned to ride. His parents warn him, "It's a little harder when you take the wheels off," but until you actually do take them off, the kid continues to enjoy a false sense of mastery. Once the wheels come off, the child may have to endure a few nasty crackups that could lead to tears, and even a refusal to ride any more. But without removing the wheels, he will never learn to ride." McCallum added that "Leaders accustomed to nothing but success become, themselves, hard to lead. They are always convinced they are right, and will fight to preserve their base as though their self-worth depended on it, which it often does. In their dread of failure, they may become downright unethical and manipulative. They find it hard to listen to the wisdom of others because they can't help but observe that their own ideas seem to be working perfectly well." The above observations raise a number of interesting questions including whether success is the precursor to failure, and conversely if failure is the precursor and a prerequisite to success. Returning to the PI Window on Business Show share both his research and corresponding insights on the characteristics that tend to derail leaders, and render them ineffective is acclaimed author and lecturer Dr. John Ullmen.

    A Buy American Exemption: The Maine View with Candidate for Governor Matt Jacobson

    "My vision is for Maine to compete and win in this new economy. We will build strong communities that attract jobs and families, providing choice and opportunity to our workers. We will create an economic climate in Maine that is world class and competitive with other states and the global economy. Maine can be a place where hard work is rewarded with opportunity, where our children can realize their dreams and our people have hope. We have an extraordinary state and talented people. We should be doing better, and we have a responsibility to create a brighter future for the next generation. Our jobs. Our families. Our communities. These are my priorities." While our September 30th 90-Minute Special examined the impact of the Buy American Policy on the domestic as well as international economies at the highest level of political office, the question that remained is simply this . . . does an exemption translate into tangible business opportunities for Canadian-based suppliers in the US public sector market? In an effort to answer this question, PI Window on Business is delving deeper into the issue from a front-line, real-world perspective that started on October 14th, and continues today with Maine's Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Jacobson. Given it's proximity to Canada one would perhaps consider Maine to be one of the States where a reasonable percentage of the 7 million US-based jobs are dependent upon an open trade agreement with its neighbor to the north. However, and as Jacobson stressed in a June 2009 article, “We are on a path where there is a very real danger that we will be the generation that leaves [Maine] in a worse state than we found it. I can’t let that happen.” Against this backdrop of legitimate concern for his State, can a balance between sustaining open trade with a foreign country while stimulating local business survival and growth be achieved in a time of economic downturn?

    Health in the Boardroom: A Question of Time Management or Exercise?

    Angioplasty or Exercise, which would you choose? This was the title of a blog post on Ecademy that I received from Dr. Gaby Cora in late August. As I eventually had to admit that the tightening waste line of my pants had nothing to do with being shrunk in the wash or some cruel conspiracy on the part of my tailor taking-in the waste band, Dr. Gaby's timely post was an exclamation point that at 50 my former six pack was threatening to turn into a one pack (or paunch). The only answer to her question crystallized when she added "This is obviously not a surprise to many but what may surprise you is how few people exercise consistently knowing the benefits to the heart, the brain and overall Wellbeing." With more options than time, many of us find ourselves on the unhealthy treadmill of a busy schedule, poor eating habits and an exercise routine that amounts to a power walk to the fridge for a late night snack. Did I mention poor eating habits? While my mother lived to just shy of her 90th birthday, my father suffered his first heart attack in his early fifties. Succumbing to the statistics of the day in which the expected life span after a coronary was limited to 13 years, he died at the relatively young age of 66. While I, unlike my father, do not smoke I cannot help but contemplate whose hereditary influence will be most predominant in determining my longevity. I can only hope that like my head of hair - I am the only man in the family to have hair beyond the age of 35 - I too follow my mother's gene influence and live to enjoy my grandchildrens' wedding. However, and as we will discover today in our conversation with Dr. Gaby, we do not have to be spectators of hope. We can actually be "pro-active" (emphasis on active) influencers of blissful longevity. Am I glad that Dr. Gaby sent me her post . . . now where is my old football jacket from high school?

    Generating Tangible Revenue from a Buy American Exemption

    In the September 30th PI Window on Business Buy American Special I had a brief interview with Canada's Trade Minister Stockwell Day that simplified a complex issue (Note: here is the Direct Link to my interview with Canada’s Trade Minister http://www.box.net/shared/static/8ax5zix6z7.mp3) Underneath the complexities of the Buy American debate is a simple question . . . now that Canada has closed the Congressional loophole that justified locking Canadian business out of the US market, will the US Congress yield to popular opinion and continue to keep its economic borders closed to its northern neighbor? Of even greater significance is whether an exemption will influence buying decisions at the State and Municipal levels of the US. To be succinct, will a policy that grants access mean little if the actual people who award the contracts are inclined to support US-based vendors only? Joining me today to answer this question as well as provide insights on how Canadian-based suppliers can position themselves to capitalize on the opportunities in the US public sector is expert author, speaker and consultant Judy Bradt. As the Principal of Summit Insight in Washington DC, Judy’s been covered by national media including SBTV, ABC Radio, the Financial Post, Fortune Small Business, and Entrepreneur Magazine. From 1988 to 2003, Judy was the top specialist in US government contracting at the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC.
