    Josh: Good Sunday morning, Jacksonville. My name is Josh McCarthy here with News 104.5 WOKV and I want to welcome you to another weekend of the Ask the Experts weekend. And this experts show is dedicated to the workforce of today and tomorrow.

    Josh: Pete “The Job Guy” Langlois introduces his listeners to Jacksonville’s most innovative companies and he explores the career journeys behind some of Jacksonville’s top influential individuals.
    Josh: And this is all done, all of it, with an honest and entertaining filter that is unique to Pete Langlois, the hard worker himself. Take it away, Pete.
    Pete: Good morning all you hard workers. Welcome to this Sunday. What a great day it is. I hope you got up, you drank a cup of coffee, you put the dogs out, not the cats, because you put the cats out, they don’t come back. You put the dogs out and you are ready right now to share an hour with me, Pete “The Job Guy” on this show, Hard Work-Ah.
    Pete: Now, if you’re like me and you’re old school, you grab a pen and a piece of paper, because you’re going to take down some notes today. And if you’re new school like my millennial co-host Arren, you get your thumbs ready and whatever hand-held device du jour you’re taking notes on and get those thumbs cranking out.
    Pete: And the notes you’re going to take are some of the things you’re going to do differently as a result of the time you spend listening to this show. Now, you can just sit there and be entertained. You’re probably going to laugh. You’re going to learn a few things, but it’s so much better that, if you write something down and do something differently as a result of the time we spend, because you didn’t just sit here and get entertained. You’re going to do something different, right? That’s what this show is about.
    Pete: I give career advice. I talk to you about some of the pitfalls that I’ve had, and some of my guests have had, to help you avoid them, circumvent them, go around them, so whatever happened to me that wasn’t so pleasant doesn’t happen to you. And I want to help you to be more effective and productive, mainly in your professional life, but if I can give you a tip or two to help you along the way in your personal life, too, then that’s fine.
    Pete: As I kick off every show with a story, I’m going to do the same doggone thing today. I’m going to tell you a little story. And this story’s about adaption, adapting, and adaption, okay? Now, some things require you to adapt to. Like a life change that you select, you have to adapt and I’m going to talk about what I mean by that in a second. You have to adapt to it, but you can’t really change it.
    Pete: Okay. I made a decision to join the Navy years back and I went from living this care-free lifestyle as a teenager up near Boston, Massachusetts and I joined the Navy and I had to adapt. It was a culture shock. I went from this guy that woke up and wherever the day takes me is where I end up to making sure when the Navy made sure I had to be where I was supposed to be at a certain time. Unquestioned reliability. I learned attention to detail. I had to change and adapt my whole life to that Navy lifestyle and I’m glad I did. It meant a lot for me to make some of those changes.
    Pete: If you go to a job chang

  • Coach Larry | Lack of Presence, a Silent Killer
    Yes, we are all very important people and have very important things going on. But, we need to give people the full attention they deserve. How do you do that? Try these 3 things:
    • Before engaging in conversation,  dump what’s in your brain onto paper. It will lighten the cognitive load.
    • Put away cell phones and turn off or close your computer screen.
    • Get good at being aware when your mind starts to wander….look a green paper clip, huh, you don’t see that everyday… and bring it back to the moment at hand. Presence exercises can help.

      Josh: Good Sunday morning, Jacksonville. My name is Josh McCarthy, here with News 104.5 WOKV, and I want to welcome you to another weekend of the Ask the Experts Weekend. This experts show is dedicated to the workforce of today and tomorrow. Pete “The Job Guy” Langlois introduces his listeners to Jacksonville’s most innovative companies, and he explores the career journeys behind some of Jacksonville’s top influential individuals. This is all done, all of it, with an honest and entertaining filter that is unique to Pete Langlois, the Hard Work-ah himself.

      Josh: Take it away, Pete.
      Pete: Good morning, all you Hard Work-ahs. Man, am I glad that you joined me here this Sunday morning. It’s a wonderful day. Guys, you’re making a great decision. I always commend all of you. You know why? Because you could do anything you want. You could be sleeping right now, or you could be out … I don’t know, you’re not shoveling snow, you’re in Florida. You could be out doing anything.
      Pete: But right now, you’re listening to Hard Work-ah with me, Pete the Job Guy. Why are you doing that? Well, a lot of you know, if you’re regular listeners, that I give career advice and tips and information that’s going to help you to be more effective and productive in your work life, or it might help you avoid a pitfall that maybe I wasn’t smart enough to walk around, or my guests weren’t smart enough. We always tell you everything, and there’s going to be some information that’s going to help you along the way.
      Pete: Now, if you’re old-school like me, you get out a pen and a paper, and you write down some things today that you hear. If you’re new-school or if you’re a millennial like my co-host Arren Mills, you’re going to get your thumbs ready and write down some information using your thumbs on whatever handheld device du jour that you have. But the notes that you’re going to take are going to be things that you’re going to do differently as a result of the time that you spend with me here this morning, because it will help you. It’s for your own betterment, so get ready to write down some things.
      Pete: Now, today we’ve got a really, really, really special show. First thing I want to talk about is when you’re a kid, you might get a little bit too close to the fire and you get burned, or you reach up on the stove and your mom says, “Don’t put your hand on the stove.” But maybe you’re not bright enough or responsive enough to your mom, and you get your hand a little bit close to that heater thing, and you burn yourself. In your mind, you get all this negative stimulus. You say, “Ow. That hurts me.” Then your mind takes over and says, “You know, don’t put your hand on the stove again,” because you just learned a life lesson. You learned not to do something through negative stimulus.
      Pete: Then maybe you do something else in life, and you do it really, really well, and someone says, “Great job, Pete. Good job, Peter. You did a great job. You’re a hard worker.” That positive reinforcement tells you, “Wow, if I do that again, I’m going to get more positive reinforcement. I’m going to do it again.” I always say at this point in my life, I’m really, really happy with who I turned out to be. But life had a bunch of curve balls for me. I wasn’t always happy. I had a lot of those moments where I’ve had life lessons, learning

    • Coach Larry | Executive Presence (or lack thereof)
      People think that executive presence is a quality you are born with. But presence can be developed. Start improving your executive presence by STOPPING these poor behaviors. Here are three things leaders do that diminishes the executive presence:
      1) Running behind, multi-tasking and being flustered. People want to be led by people who have their stuff together.
      2) Communicating by rambling on or repeating themselves. To lead others you must communicate clearly and succinctly.
      3) Stop putting out fires and worrying about the ‘day to day’. People are led into the future by leaders who think of and talk about the future.

      Transcript:

      Pete: Outstanding. Well, guys we got a great guest with us today. It’s Allison Gwisz. And Allison is a Human Resource Business Partner with Suddath Companies right here in Jacksonville. And Allison, welcome to Hard Work-Ah.

      Allison: Thank you so much, Pete. It’s great to be here.
      Arren: Yay!
      Pete: Good. Glad to have you. Now listen, I want to learn, I think, for our listeners … We want to learn more about Allison and then we want to learn more about Suddath and-
      Arren: Yeah. What is that?
      Pete: I understand you are a rarity. You’re a Jacksonville native. Is that right?
      Allison: I am a Jacksonville native, born and raised.
      Pete: Woo-hoo!
      Arren: Like me. And, go ahead and tell them which university you attended.
      Allison: Go Gators!
      Arren: Yes.
      Pete: Oh, here we go. Go Gators. Woo-hoo, woo.
      Arren: Chomp, chomp, chomp.
      Pete: All right. We got the chomp out of the way.
      Pete: Allison, I also know a little bit about you too. And I’ve been in staffing for years and years and years. More years than my co-host has been alive. We’ll just throw that out there.
      Arren: Probably true.
      Pete: But you did what I did for a lot of years, too.
      Allison: I did. I was in the staffing industry for quite some time.
      Pete: You’ve been a recruiter. Walk us through what you’ve done.
      Allison: Oh, let’s see. I started as admin. I was a recruiter. I worked in sales. I did temp staffing. I did-
      Arren: Oh my [crosstalk 00:08:00].
      Allison: Replacement. I was-
      Arren: You sound like a female Pete.
      Allison: All right. Well, Pete, you know I got into the industry and you either run like crazy-
      Pete: Right.
      Allison: Or you stay in forever.
      Pete: Yeah. Yeah.
      Allison: And I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved it. I was in it for 13 years and then made a transition over to Suddath.
      Pete: You know what we’ve always said? Years in staffing are like dog years. One year is like seven, because it’s hard. I mean, it is a grind, grind, grind. And back in the day, things were different. We didn’t have all that technology that we have now. We’re fortunate to have artificial intelligence and some other things working on behalf of us.
      Pete: Before, it was like, you get in the bullpen and you make 125 or 150-
      Arren: Oh, my gosh.
      Pete: Outbound calls-
      Allison: Oh, yeah.
      Pete: Every day and this many client visits and this … And it was all these insane metrics every day. So, congratulations for being in 13 years and I also feel bad for you for being in 13 years. I can commiserate.
      Pete: Well, tell us a little bit about Suddath.
      Allison: Suddath is a family-owned business. Our world headquarters is right here in Jacksonville, Florida.
      Arren: Ooh.
      Pete: Woo-hoo!
      Arren: Bringing in some money.
      Allison: We are almost a hundred years old. In fact, next year, 2019, there’s going to be a big celebration here in Jacksonville.

    • Coach Larry’s Mailbag | My employee is terrible! All they do is spend time on the internet!
      This week from Coach Larry’s mailbag: My employee is terrible! All they do is spend time on the internet!
      Step 1:
      Make sure you listen to the Feedback Sandwich episode to deliver a good feedback statement.
      Step 2:
      Take a hard look at yourself! How are you contributing to this situation? Leadership involves making a personal connection with the employee and challenging them to do their best work. Are you an Intimidator who challenges, but doesn’t care about the person? Are you an Appeaser
      who wants to be liked but doesn’t challenge? Or are you an Avoider who doesn’t care about challenging the person to do their best work, nor cares about the person at a personal level.  The BEST leaders give a healthy dose of challenging their direct reports while caring for them at the same time. Now that’s what we call a LEADER.
      Step 3:
      Once you’ve analyzed to what extent you are challenging and connecting with this individual, formulate strategies to do more of one, the other, or both.

    • Coach Larry | Dealing with Defensive People
      This week, the topic is: giving feedback to someone who gets defensive.
      1) Be clear.
      Have specific examples of that individual’s behavior, along with examples of good performance.
      2) Watch your tone.
      Keep a neutral tone and have an open body language. Practice giving the feedback in front of the mirror.
      3) Watch your words.
      Avoid hot buttons, while being firm. Stay away from absolutes like “Always and Never”.
