BS With Bob Schmidt

Bob Schmidt podcast featuring entrepreneurs, business people and marketers this week talking with Elizabeth Dickinson certified life coach and public speaker as well as author of the book. The concise coaching handbook how to coach yourself and others to get business results and I had a chance to meet Elizabeth a few months ago. Back in New York and had a chance eight, Hennepin conversation and chat a little bit about business and invited around of the podcasts talk about this and you know Elizabeth, I think that a lot of people a lot of self-starters a lot of entrepreneurs and people that are it you know in business for themselves have all these great ideas but sometimes the concise part is is a hard thing for people to get yeah I don't you think that I think the people have a hard time to try to be concise week, at least for myself. I also at taco stuff out there and I could whittled it down and said okay let's just focus in on this one little thing actually very true ruler and ruled McCracken' you folks in the real estate industry and outlets. Also, home remodelers, and a lot of then interesting the problems that they back and turn it in your heart you deal with people who don't get to the point here, and he needed some Texan checks around around that kind of think it is tricky to glow from storm helps to bring somebody out to just kind of rehearsing your head a little thing about what you can save on what your message is to be sure that you don't have to fumble around when you're actually leaving a message or on the phone and I think it's actually helpful. I am just going into and what are the top three things I need to get across in this conversation. Helping organize and train your brain just a little back so that you can do more effective conversation with other people know it is. I could hear was that based on my start of the start of the show. I'm just double checking, you know, it's funny that you brought that up because I know that my son he's 20 and he before he makes a phone called anybody he practices what he wants to say to those people and still nine times out of 10 he says dad is still screwed up. How do you have stuff to say when you're on the radio is and I honestly I don't know just kinda comes to me often because you're a great improviser and you're just ready to go with whatever energy of the conversation is going to be able to allow yourself to everybody. And so they really do think about it a little bit you so much radio experience, you probably don't get nervous. I totally the opposite. I get nervous all the top name yeah and it's it's crazy to think that but I route I really do it, or talking in front of a group of people. I despise that that's one of my least favorite things in the world to do what you I think it's a fear of messing up. I mean honestly, I've given myself permission to make mistakes. You know when it would have done things I said you know just got there, do the best you can do but I still sometimes have a difficult time trying to figure out that or I think that people perhaps are thinking well this guys professionally should do a better job than you really think I don't know. I really don't know. I I've taken classes of to. I actually went back to college as an adult to try to learn new skills and I had a speech class. I did well in the speech class but I think it's just I need to get out of my own head I don't. Maybe this counseling session with a lot of person in your shower. Friendly and welcoming role answers that people come up with more effect that they're more likely to listen to themselves are more likely to act on their own advice on impossible for them to stop thinking about what however he said it so firm so so I'm hoping if we were an actual coaching session, we help a little deeper and see if we could come up with strategies to help you need out how self-critical people are because I went to a real estate seminar a few weeks a few weeks ago there was a young Asian guy, very successful and incredibly successful. He started this whole company which is wholesaling property and so successful at it. He can't even renovate all the properties come his way. Available to other investors. He was Ernest Carol Carol. He just found no idea her nervously in my heart is beating a mile in and finding it difficult to believe the first time I've ever come in and effort in front of a group of people like doing public speaking when he even said it, right afterwards and they sent a thank you need to know a single person out here who would have been able to how you were nervous or that you had never done this before. I think you gave just for you just need to have some more confidence in what you doing and he took my card and he said you're a public speaker, so that means so much to me. You know people come from an acting background then one of the things I said to Mary your people come to place people come to environs and want to like you, with all of those judgment things in your head. You think they hide so you know you can trust and that people want to hear what you want to follow and not sitting there going. You know, being all persnickety in the way that you might be persnickety about yourself, and so I just wish that I could just inject everyone with confidence instead of what I can coach people there but I can't do it you know in their wake everyone across the state of your supercar or superpower you have them. That's what would be my superpower and holy moly but do find a lot of people that that's a problem that a lot of people have is the maybe, maybe not confidence but the fact of talking in front of people are being public. People fear public speaking more than curling crazy guy dear death little bit more than public speaking because I think I don't want to die today or tomorrow. You know I so I will talk to so a little bit crazy. You really understand your people warning the dance that they know what the man know that it's going to be received well and they want to know that their darkness grew up to want to control things you can control is what you say and how you are in the moment. So a lot of it is about finding ways currency compared to the best of your ready to just kinda let it go and be in the moment so is me saying to myself that you know I could just do the best job that you can do it mean is, is that, getting in the moment being coachable or mean or so for yourself what is going to mean something like coach from the Land O Lakes once he was really funny about what grades in offense cheer him up, but it was along the lines a little mantra of it really that important say to myself, I think I can sell it. It really that important. It actually gets used internal anxiety that he was having. And it would stop him from blowing a people which was a problem for him getting into trouble with his supervisor because so I think it's about framing the same each person. It's going to be a little bit different. You know there's working with you. I went into a box where we would go down a little bit deep into your little bit deeper into your unconscious and bring up the wise part of year and say what what is a wise target the widest part of you have to say about that. Good luck trying to find it is what everyone is wearing my was more of a wise ass. I think that I could be a white thing that will get to use it for you Frank for going to find a little routine you can get this kind will come and take away the nerves. It's all about training and experience of being human being in a human body and deal with other people what you would put you on edge strengths Finder and strengths Finder. I really recommend it to people. It's an expense at the Gallup organization put that out there and it's really useful tool when my strengths, but which I can use against any strength which is over you comes a weakness being an achiever. One of my top toppings and achievers just really like measurable progress. Everybody likes measurable progress. Patients found that one of the predictors of happiness for virtually everyone is making some slight sense of making some progress every day. That's really went early in me, and so are going out of town tomorrow and it's now easy opportunities. I fly glider term get those jobs don't you think putting off for forever and filling kinda hard on myself and it puts me in for Kerry get all of these things during the flyleaf. Yes, and I can kind of put me on imagine you know when to ease up for myself sometimes and sometimes you make more progress in earnings and I found this is an achiever, not just as a coaches that sometimes you have to track what I'm doing because I like to give myself credit for the stuff that I have to turn right. You know, if you make a whole bunch of phone calls and you give get the result that you want it like it was all messages or email. People keep calling back and keep missing each other and so nothing gets accomplished or something to remind yourself that Micco's phone calls I made five phone calls I made 10 phone calls today and even if it can result what and what I wanted your remarks to win so I think thinking a different kind of different ways to kindness that you not being too hard on yourself right is is that what is sometimes I've heard a few people say that you start every morning by making your bed is at least you got something done. I think that's a really good point. If you have lists and staff. They often do the hardest thing you may be asked to make the hardest first go through the goal. You literally start the day with more willpower than in the day with and it's kind of finite supply just harder to get harder things done. The later in the day you go so you know if you can get some of the hard stuff off early in the day I can feel better about stuff you know a little bit malleable because sometimes you need a couple of easy wind couple of hard days, easier things done first does not allow that basil one what y

The BS adoption podcast featuring people talking about entrepreneurship, marketing, and business this week. Taking a different look, a different tone. If you Elsa for getting closer to Christmas want to talk to a guy that I met at the publicity summit in New York City a couple weeks ago but invite Marty Vargas a conversation with Marty this week talking about how he found his mother living on the streets of Philadelphia and how he kind of pulled her back into society. It's different than our normal podcast but it's a message worth sharing. As we approach Christmas Marty, thanks for being on the podcast with me this week happened in my life began a little bit different remote control. I refound the string. The little infant sleeping with no with my homeless mother and I discovered buying an older couple the morning and no man went out to shovel the snow and found me sleeping there with my mom and eventually she gave me up several months later to that thing couple and I never knew my mom I was shipped away or I get you their doctor delaying my adoptive family went on to California and I grew up in the Bay Area and Vincenzo did not Cavalli was 21, 22 years later I returned to Philadelphia to find the heart of my moods on my mom how hard was it for you to know that you're given up by your mother grow up with a with a different family and then returned to you know that the quote the scene of the crime in order to find to see if your mom first will still live. Secondly, she still remembers you wound that that was a very dramatic experience growing up without her was nondramatic to me because the family that I was adopted in was so loving and kind. They were the only ones I knew you know is mom and dad, but when I found when I went to the car. My mother was very dramatic because my brother and my older brother. My adoptive old brother had come to visit us in California and he had a heart attack and died so we had to ship his body to the East Coast. When we did so it was then my cousin came up to me your name was Joanne. She said would you like to find your mom and I would like wishing she said she's Rachel and she lives in the streets and that night I could hardly sleep realizing the very woman that had brought me into this world was somewhere out there in the concrete jungle trying to supply and so that began the journey the emotional journey for me because up to that time, enthusiastic question and never thought about actually finding her and I didn't have that I didn't have the desire, none of that was in the course to my mind, hardly at all. When she asked that I was confronted with the reality and so that's when we began our journey did everything to your life up to that point was alive that you're living like a different living a lie even though you may not have known it, but then actually figured out, or to think about it after the fact, that very amazing question that you know I had to struggle with being adopted and I remember the day I was finally adopted in the paperwork went through. I was about 13 years of age and I remember reading 17 being adopted and rethinking not being original with my family. Kind of like even though my mom and dad J love me, though I was their very own flesh and blood and was never that feeling like you're not but you still have that feeling in some way because it windows come from other directions and I presented, but it wasn't until I discovered my mom and I had to process it and then when I finally got off the streets in class essay… Myself you know I have is closer to because you gave me up you know and then came to the point when I realized this was the very best thing because you know when I was working my documentary. In television I filling out ninth Street fair in the Italian market. Most listeners would remember Rocky running down the Italian market selling thing and fell. Philadelphia was there when my mother lived and I was feeling my documentary there and a woman came up to meet Jansson what are you doing to you making a documentary on the homeless woman. She said Rachel to call my mother's name out. I like wow my mom cheek against me find dead bodies of the children string different setting and used to find the yeah the dead body have her children that she would give birth Street and they would find her dead body and blew my mind in a car, a coincided with a newspaper article. I did find about my mother indicated she had given birth to a number of children about four or five children in the street. My mother was in the streets with 30+ years on 29 years and when reality hit me. Then I realized I was so fortunate to not have been one of those skilled right will told me he took kind of made tomato intimated that's wow God is a miracle. No kidding. Talk about you know getting that life changing moment in your life was was that it was at one of the moments that you're like this is why I'm here. It was life-changing images made me appreciate every day of my life. And then I understood that it was for the best unite for me being here is great for me to have survived what I went through with greater and then from even understand how blessed I was noted in the air rather than cursed. Want to bless it and so you know that became very interesting enough to experience the decking many years later after I was taking care of my mom and because eventually I was able to get off the streets because you want to come off the street. When I first found her losing on this romantic movie when I was searching street after street looking for my mom. I was put to hold you know medevac. I read newspaper articles written about my mother and one of the things that struck me the most is that newspaper reporter asked my mother. Do you ever get lonely. Do you ever cry and granted. At this point of my mother's life is been rate multiple times she's been beating stream. She has been dogged and she responded, I cannot cry and that's what gave me the impetus I have to find a have to let her know that there's still somebody out there that really cares no. And so I researched street after street throughout Philadelphia fell Philadelphia and eventually I came up to brought in federal which would like to know the main thoroughfare throughout the video of Philadelphia and I knocked on the large cathedral and the only an empty vehicle came back and then my cousin a good idea quickly down to the shelter she Joanne had been calling everything the shelter in town in order to find my mother so word was getting around Marty looking for Rachel and Rachel was not him. I can't say popular, but she was not unknown because she was sort of the fixtures. A homeless person and I remember standing before the large wooden door that was the last barrier between my dark and distant past, and I'm like Joanne, we gotta play Sage and we knock loudly in a few minutes. The door banged open in this young black woman was standing near Yasser Rachel and she recognized me she knew my mother and she said love is patient, you know that Philadelphia accent and we were led down the long cement corridor to a gymnasium in the gymnasium was totally black and only stage in the gymnasium was well lit and I met up little lady right met up into the gymnasium stage and Joanne took my hand and took my mother's hands and praying this is your son, Marty Marty this is your mother in that moment that was like wow you know the just like blew my mind. You know, and I got up I hugged her I gave her a kiss. I tried to make her feel comfortable. She only responded to me with confinement. Unbelieving J and so that night I just search for hours trying to find why did you ever become homeless without asking that question shipped and it was just such a moving experience in the very next day, and which was most mind blowing and called experience the very next day I had Daschle? I said mom I want to know who my daddy and she looked and she said how is man and I talked to Michael Lemaire is my brother, my adopted brother that I just buried regularly behind. That's why we keep you know, we buried him and cheer start coming down her cheek and little doll came to realize what was happening here is that my adoptive brother was not my you know legal only legal brother. He was actually my biological father. And so the older couple that found me sleeping in the snow that older couple were actually my real grandparents today. Did they know that note they didn't know that until at age 13 when that time I mentioned earlier that I resented being adopted and the people working through the investigation of my life and everything else with people working on the type stuff and the story came out that told me, but they knew as you're growing up so your brother actually knew that he was your father, even though it is your brother yeah yeah you and them. My you know my adoptive brother was my real biological father is something I can in a country song in their amino. I'm not trying to make it at all, but you don't mean it sounds it sounds unbelievable that I know is unbelievable in my grandparents in no until I was 13 years old when the good doctor went all the way through and never told me go from age 13 to age 21, 22, this is a total secret in all my love and then what happens. I went back to California but I couldn't rest rest and to try to get my mother off the streets. I returned back to Philadelphia now factor took about five trips from California to Philadelphia, noted the rescue my mom from off the street. It is when I went the second time I saw her as she really was, you

The BS of Bob Schmidt podcast featuring entrepreneurs, business and marketers this time around, talking without Fox News contributor leadership. Brander and author of eight books including doing it right. The, the stories that make us it's Valerie Sokolowski and I've had Valerie in my radio program many times and I can't believe he actually married into that last name when I met my wonderful Bobby many years, my name would grant and I'll never forget the first time I met him I thought and thought with all my goodness you know what Bobbitt goal setting to take you a while to figure out how to spell it or that such that's so true, so much talk a little bit about doing things right is the name of the name of your latest book is a doing it right and so how do we actually do it right. Is it possible to do things right there by one thing the name of the book is right. You can either do it only do more things to write about in terms now I'm doing a lot of professional workshops around the country so I'm talking to emerging leaders who are wanting to know just part of it. They want to know what kind are appropriate or not. We both know, times change networkers to read my legacy program, put them all in a book called why we book it just can't can't can't can't About the different areas so you long time to put together this book of tips information timeline with an audience. I will ask them to write down your top three question in each of those categories and from court came to book Bob matter what level of person their career path I can talk to college. I can talk to recent college grant I can talk to CEO Christian will now see what should I wear or should I approach someone that cocktail party when I wish I weren't there in the first place. Likely QUESTIONS including all learning all absolutely. If there's a day that goes by that I don't learn. I tend to myself. Well I better either read some more or get on the computer or watch some television or do something in order to figure out you know something so that we can always learn something for the day really relevant for you and what you did Bob you so many people you gotta be so knowledgeable about so many things you will ask a lot of questions. I talk to people that are much more knowledgeable than myself as why you're my guest. Well, so what's the one with the where where what should we be wearing when were out doing things that matter if it's like Christmas is coming up so wearing something to ask company Christmas party is probably different than wearing something to a networking situation. Share: very simple minded person simple answer to that cell. How do I want to be. How do I widely seen what I want to give in this situation. For example, I was at a luncheon today for an organization. Nine in the organization is full of people. So I wore business looking out that I certainly wasn't in business casual. I had a nice really nice jacket and shirt underneath it and my and I looked trendy but professional and so I dressed that way this week will go to party. I'm going to one weekend, much more casual, and go party. So I'm jacket a business jacket. I'm going to be in a letter for the work, great color that I know looks good so just stop and think what I want to give to the people I'm getting ready to be involved in things to do when you're not sure. Back to first of all what I said earlier. Who are you meeting with right know what is there hell of a big company would be different than a small business down the street and so forth and still think about the message you want to get to that person would expect respected right person would have in mind okay right that makes a lot of sense. Yes, what's expected and respected anything for me and always easy to wrong and a nice shirt and a pair of slacks and honestly Nalgene nice dark press genes are are great and younger you're right person you're with jacket. Maybe the car to throw on walking with and then take off right. I guess it's easier to be a man and when it comes to dressing up and it would be for you or my wife or other women that are listening but actually thank you for that. People need help right now you have a good point Bobby many options with women, and so I will still say no jacket. The game even for a woman Blau or sure whatever you throw in jacket on, you immediately raise the bar the same philosophy in the way does a sweater work in place of the jacket for woman letter works just fine. Bring down a little bit, but it still in between jacket and some great letters out there this year. What is notice to that more women are wearing those scarves, the endless scarf. If you don't mean that. It's like one piece. The circular thank you for sharing our car for a woman can be a great three you can. Where are all kind of different way. Yes, there is that continuous circular scar in all kinds of shapes and scarring for women are I would Google go on YouTube and search for ways to where scar is out there showing you different way to tie scar that you can take one out and throw different guards on. You know for different situations are really a whole new jewelry like and three. So the book is called do it right and I'm sorry for getting it wrong earlier. Do it right. Part of it is about about what to wear part of it. You mentioned is networking. What was the third part, people don't like the word I know person. So why should I write. I believe it does you think that are not. We are a much more casual than most except Wall Street if you're on Wall Street, you're on Wall Street to be much more engaging companies are doing everything I can to drive engagement in one of the things that they are finding that by walking around as a leader and being more engaging themselves in having a dress code. The old dress code being more business casual and some industry. I will say I'm just getting ready to go to sample Florida Power & Light which is called here and now they bring me every year to do it today program on exactly what I'm sharing with you because they want their from director level they want their people to address with a jacket yes taken off when you're in the office that they still want that professional that Florida Power & Light don't really have to know what the industry is and what that company. Let me assist them because we we we both know that the way people dress is different than it was like when my dad was working. It's different that it was when you know when when we are growing up. Does that mean that the quality of work is slept at all because of that, you know, because of the slacking of the dressing. That does make a difference when someone get a little slovenly with the business casual right people in the company back and say what a business class will look like all over the ballpark. In fact, I actually wrote that I mentioned for one of them is called business-class school clarify please read some that some people have like you have to specify close toed shoes because some people would show up to work in those flip-flops are second toes because it didn't say it's a comfortable shoes but not safe for you know not not those flip-flops, though I couldn't believe that I'm telling you the true story here. I always do. Being asked to come into a law firm downtown law firm and they said I want you to just walk around and you can observe before we bring you in what we are bringing you and I'm sure their lawyers. Some of the women did not flip flop, but those clogs have a business is on and clogs don't know what we don't know don't know what they don't know you got to tell them if they business casual that look like my bike now going to an inventor to a party or to the job interview. Business casual table that look like you say, we don't know we don't know because my dad would always say that we are arguing about the kid to be like you know what you don't know and I remember when I turned about 16 or 17 Valerie I looked minimum like your dad. You're right. I don't know what I don't know but you don't know what you don't know how to shut them up. I went to my book and opened up the table of contents what other things like wine okay travel I put in something on different abilities, working with people with this ability, international etiquette are common sense things are probably a lot of people don't have as a regular thing. One of my best friends is disability so I know how to deal with people disabilities but what comes like wine and things like that. I'm not really sure when it comes to international types of etiquette. I have no clue whatsoever because I haven't had that experience well. The book is called the right. You also mention it is about networking to so what's the proper way to go out network with somebody happen to other people and certainly have to me when you walk up to a group fully people will contact and smile, which means which body language is saying come on right right time when I would walk up to a group. I don't know anybody in this whole conference and I walked up to the group and they're all busy talking to each other. They probably been talking to each other for a while and no eye contact or welcoming body language happened. Smile at somebody and turn and leave. That's about all you can do that when you are able to walk up and someone welcomes you in a sort that being said, and not on my and people are gracious and most people are someone will welcome you mean more and give you that opportunity to say something but don't feel like you have to just walk in and start conversing because you don't you can learn a lot more frankly listening, then doing all the talking, sitting there listening sometimes you might get uncomfortabl

BS with Bob Schmidt talking, entrepreneurship, business and marketing my guest this week is Dr. to Rooney Lambert, a math educator and an author. And what about that Kennecott my eye it's dealing with meetings and we fall as business people had meetings that sock legislated as it is, there's a lot of meetings out there that are just horrible. The book is called conducting productive meetings how to generate communicate ideas for innovation and let's just jump right into it to Rooney just with the meeting part because like I said, we've all been to just horrible meetings. How is it possible to conduct a productive meeting. Or is it even possible to think that artists really ancient writing is learning how do you create needing to actually go anywhere and think are parts of being in really bad meetings ready to. Nothing gets accomplished. Ready to get that you call by doing productive meetings is figuring out what you goalless as a team for putting that team together and then be near the to move ideas qualified for that it is remaining at how you stage but it actually moves to solve it into our products on new IDM for things that moved up the agenda of Iran thoughts of my things and such and thinking about meetings for my mistakes like project that involved every single school district conflict with universities and lots of different people from that of a geographically spread across people didn't have time. So whenever we had a meeting it's really important that we use that time productively to find a productive meeting is to figure out what your purposes and how people coming to the meeting with IBM to share the light giving people let's – don't have time and saying think about risk of any coming to the meeting, you have something to contribute to the meeting time matters so that he had a problem or a question giving everybody an opportunity to share their ideas. It doesn't matter who you are hierarchical roles that only the people with the titles talk doesn't it's not productive. You just need to create a condition give us the opportunity for everybody the cable to contribute their ideas so the last company that I work for. We used to do brainstorming meetings every week and sometimes these seem to go with the flow. Sometimes they seem to work. We always had the agenda had a time. We knew that were to talk about this that and the other thing how to get somebody to start paying attention to what needs to be done and what needs to be said really go from two euros another because he does lead successfully thinking the correct team members that really help move that project idea forward. For example, if you have coming by and do what you trying to accomplish is really important. Building on team members interests of when people want to pontificate, is because it's something that is constantly avoiding going for them. They want pay for benefits for them sitting in the need meetings where things are not meaningful to them that they not going to be as engaged so up picking the right team members Paul like you trying to accomplish is important. The leader needs to make sure that everybody has to buy down the page like conducting meetings to solve problems of the team together and yeah this golf within the strategies to remember to get an idea that I think is what you trying to figure out the sun's light is to get people to brainstorm ideas that then he goes nowhere because they're not solved for this level is going to try critiquing each other's ideas), exceeding condition that people going. This is not about ego site individual people's ideas should mean going problem you're trying to solve. But think about you know what are the pros and cons of our people and saying with you.sometimes writing down things on chart paper on what connect creating something additionally helpful for the people on the same page and they can go. Is this what you need to write down what you say. How does that relate to the problem level is to make sure that you can't find yet I think a lot of you have the same page of young agreement. How does this solve the problem and then, but what our next action steps. Why do we need to keep doing to the idea squalid to the really fun things. Now it's used as it work with every type of business or is it only work with academia war with leadership sessions or no marketing just to the work of everything except anything admitted. The idea is this comes actually like the threats from creative thinking and things like that trying to accomplish something just kind of closing idea out there and then just this of Kenneth the process flow like risk-taking all the ideas and then just finding them in moving that he said all those people did this. Yeah. And then they trying to position for. I want my idea of what your idea of people are not getting along, because things you know that it's all about you go to go anywhere. This can be something from your group of teachers trying to solve a problem. He can be in business, not in what context is about. How do you move ideas. So that is going beyond just sharing ideas just figuring out what you trying to solve hundreds that address and begin to critique it and then move it to like she had idea. The group 1 of the things that I wrote about in the book is that relationships matter. People can come to the table and share. ITS if they're not comfortable with each other if it's kind of threatening environment like you say something yes maybe Mike expired all you by look stupid because of one other thing, since you are safe. Know where you're working. That's the bottom of the father beast feel comfortable to critique somebody's page about the idea and think that you have all the not a good idea for you to create conditions where everybody in the meeting feels valued and so a lot of things that I wrote about is a create that ultimately interesting as when I was writing the book I interviewed really famous researchers develop the body of work that has really changed the field and out when I was born in one of them was that meeting. Talk to you during the project going cup of coffee or going for a walk. This informal interactions with equally important is what happens in the meeting to see what I'm doing like you had to spend some sense especially go out for a couple coffee or something. That moment you know you're not having an agenda, you just cannot unwinding kind of relaxed and a lot of times your brain. Still, you know, whatever you are working on and those that do things that happens when you building relationships of trust just like having fun together and thought is that because you screen you get a lot of creative ideas coming out that way right be the ultimate idea that you might end up going with the lot of people that I did get fed. You know that conversations of the college really powerful so so that informal relationships really as important as the formal relationships to come to move the ideas from outside right now. You mentioned earlier couple of different times you mention the word ego how to get the eagle out of a meeting, especially if you got, you know, the, the boss said has that ego because we've all had bosses that were jurors know how to get back past that you know you know thing is mindful that when you're running a meeting and in running this meeting we had people who are just like famous common and Giddens in the room and even just getting class like we just remove title like when retaining the agenda. I purposely did not put PhD behind people's names and also giving opportunity for people talking like giving for somebody who is not the dots, giving the person the bottom of the then say what you think asking them specific questions so that creating and that the tone for the meeting. This is about ideas for the sharing and praying everybody. Thank you for equal. I think that that again because this is a course and that I was wondering about as I was reading to the best of the church about how do you deal ideas. Eagle came up in the research literature. It came up with people saying that there are people with chef not going to be a sport they would be when I interviewed one person said they just eventually lead their team is that Not functioning as a team player right all along just like that naturally involves the connecting the right people on the team really matters.*As you mentioned, the engagement also. And yet if you got millennial's in with the group and you get some baby boomers in the group. We got some Gen Xers in the group. I'm guessing that the different ways of engaging is probably different throughout the different the different age groups, usually as a leader as a project that you leading it doesn't matter what it is. It's really important that you get to know you team players on deck, and the more you can get to know them as a personal level, you cannot find out about what interest there. Why are they talking dictating whether they get out of it really helps. It's about marking the keys and consequent decline of a team together but the person leading the team has

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, there are no expectations, there is good food, football, friends and family.  Today I would like to focus on things that I am thankful for.  I first and foremost am thankful and proud of my family, they are the people who put up with me at my worst, because they are truly the ones that see the good, the bad and the ugly.  For my family thank you and I love you.  My friends are next on the list for many of the same reasons, we may hold back a bit around them, but they pretty much know who you are and what you stand for, these are people with a choice, they choose to be with you, where your family is kind of stuck, friends are the people who choose to hang out with us, so thank you for putting up with my BS and for being a friend, it means so much.  My neighbors are next on the list, when you move into a new neighborhood you really have no idea what you are getting into, from the old man across the street to the couple and their kids next door, to my single neighbor down the street, to my buddy across the alley I wouldn’t trade who lives by me for the world, neighbors take care of where we live, look after each other, and take pride in where they live. I would thank my podcast clients, you allow me to share your story with your voice, giving podcast for hire.com a chance to share a story or a laugh. I am thankful for my listeners of my podcasts from my BSWithBob.com podcast to the listeners of my Microcasts with PodcastForHire.com. I am also thankful for my Facebook friends, even though we often times don’t talk we know what is going on in each others lives, and it makes me happy. Everyone is thankful for something, for example family, job, and the people in your life.  I get those things to be happy and thankful for, I really do.  I am also thankful for shelter, the food in my belly, the fact that I have modern conveniences all around me.  I am thankful for the media, I get my news, my laughter, my tears, my excitement, my livelihood from the newspaper, tv and the radio.  I am also thankful for education and learning, if not for that we would be stagnant.  I am thankful for the newer technologies that are all around us, even though I get irritated by people being on their computers and their phones all the time, myself included, I am grateful that this technology is here and within reach of most of us.  I think that it is fantastic that we live in a free society where if we want to complain about something, we can and that the government doesn’t throw us in jail, I am thankful for the men and women who protect us both at home and away.  The fact that I can turn on a light and have it flip on and flush a toilet and not have to worry about where it goes, that refrigeration keeps my food safe and that heat keeps me warm through the day.  It is great that we can hop into our cars and go.  When you are feeling down and that life sucks, step back and think, then thank.  Most off all I am thankful for you for listening to this.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving.   And finally, I am a firm believer of if you don’t love something, do something about it.  Why live in an area that you don’t find beautiful, safe and worth exploring, too many people complain about where they live, don’t like it move.  I have lived around the Midwest, and visited most of the rest of the country, for me the upper Midwest is where I like living, and in La Crosse Wisconsin I am at home.  I am also thankful for my health, even though I have a couple of issues with my hearing and eyes (I think that most of us get to be glasses wearers at some point in our lives.), for the most part this big man is in pretty goodshape, I guess that round is a shape right?  We are lucky to have such great health care right here in our backyard.  Education is a high priority and we are lucky to have access to great public and private education here without having to bus our kids for hours, plus the three higher learning facilities, bringing in great minds from all over, experiencing the beauty of the area.  Having transportation and food on the table round off today, we all have many things to be thankful for, what are yours?   As I wrap up this podcast I hope that whom ever you get together with on this day or any other the camaraderie of friends and family, a great meal, good fellowship and plenty to talk about.  Have a great Thanksgiving.
