Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It "If I could write a headline that sums up the last ten years of the American (and other rich country's) workplace -- and the next thirty years as well -- it would be this: 'That Job is Gone!'" Marshall Goldsmith
 Marshall Goldsmith Welcome to a special Leadership Channel Podcast on TotalPicture Radio. Im excited to have back on TPR one of America's preeminent executive coaches: Marshall Goldsmith. The timing of Marshalls books is truly remarkable: His New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There was released in 2007. An accurate reflection on the times and the economy? I think so. His latest book, just released this month is titled Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It (link to Amazon.com) Considering how brutal the economy and job market has been over the past couple of years, I think many of us have struggled to keep our mojo intact.

What Can You Do if You're Not A Natural-Born Seller?I'm always amazed when consultants tell me they don't like (or want) to sell. Some seem to think the whole sales thing is completely beneath them. Then there are others who say they aren't good at selling. My reaction to both views is, you're kidding, right? You may be the guru in your field, but that won't put a dime in the bank if you can't sell. Michael McLaughlin
 Michael McLaughlin My first question, "I suck at sales, now what?" A number of executives in the 40's, 50's, and beyond, who've lost their jobs as a result of the recession, will never find a job at the level and income they achieved before the economy imploded. For many of these folks, professional , project based consulting is the best avenue for them to pursue. The only real option available to take advantage of their experience, and maintain an executive level income. One of the most difficult transitions many executives face: developing a sales mindset.
Welcome to a Success Strategies Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio with Peter Clayton reporting. Our guest today on TPR is Michael McLaughlin, founder of MindShare Consulting LLC. This is part one of a two-part podcast focused on the professional sales process: Connect, Collaborate, and Connect. Part 2 of our interview will air February 12th.

Are You Wasting Time and Money on the Wrong Retention Strategies? Written by Carol Morrison from i4cp
Here's a late-breaking bulletin: employees leave their jobs because they're dissatisfied with their compensation. Are you shocked? We weren't either. But when results of i4cp's latest survey on Retention Strategy and Execution confirmed the top reason workers bail, we decided to take a closer look. Mean responses from all participants found non-work-related events/issues (spouse relocation, health, etc.) in second place, with poor work/life balance ranking third among departure drivers across all company sizes and industries.
Because i4cp's mission is to empower organizations to become high performers, we dissect our research results with great care, digging deep to find the strategies and behaviors that separate top firms from the also-rans. And we do this across the five domains that influence organizational performance: strategy, leadership, talent, culture and market. This recent survey points out that key retention questions for leaders within the talent domain are these: Do people leave high-performing and lower-performing organizations for different reasons? Do companies wait until it's too late to ask why workers abandon ship? Are companies' retention strategies accurately targeting the turnover drivers at work in their particular situations?
When it comes to the number-one turnover motivator in high-performing firms, our results revealed that unhappiness with compensation also was the primary culprit. However, respondents indicated that workers depart lower-performing companies because they have poor relationships with their managers: Two very different situations requiring diverse interventions.

 Charles H. Green "If you're like most professionals, you're not comfortable with selling. It's not easy fighting the feeling that hyping yourself is somehow inappropriate.

Leadership In The 21st Century Six Deadly Sins Jack Welch Management Institute
There is much to be learned from exploring what leaders commonly get wrong, for it is in their failures that leaders often have the most impact, both on individuals and organizations. - Jack Welch
 Jack Welch Thus, we ask you to consider the following material with a critical eye. Do any sins apply to your own behaviors? If so, such new self-awareness is the first step to corrective action. And for those of you who are not yet leaders, again, careful scrutiny is advised. Understanding where your own leaders, now or at any earlier point in your career, might have gone awry is an insight that could serve you well in the future. Because this information is built on the belief that being a leader is perhaps the hardest challenge any of us will ever face. No matter how long we work at it, practicing the right behavior is a never-ending task. Knowing and avoiding the wrong behavior is a never-ending task, too. Thus, we offer the following:
Leadership Sin #1: Not Giving Self-confidence its Due
Self-confidence is the lifeblood of success. They try new things, offer ideas, exude positive energy, and cooperate with their colleagues instead of surreptitiously attempting to bring them down. When they lack self-confidence, it's just the opposite. They spread negativity with every word and gesture.

New VimeoVideo Channel Promotes TotalPicture Radio Advertising Partners.
Given the phenomenal growth, importance, and reach now possible through social media, new opportunities are continuously becoming available to create influence and awareness. We all have the ability to engage with our friends, peers, clients and prospects through social media. "Engage" is the operative word here. Think about it: with a little hard work, anyone can build an audience online. As we spend more and more time using Internet connected devices, and less time passively watching television, traditional forms of interruption based advertising continue to diminish in importance, acceptability and relevance. TV commentators are all excited about the latest Super Bowl commercials. Are you? After 23 years sponsoring the Super Bowl, Pepsi decided to invest its $20 million in social media this year. When was the last time you watched TV without your smart phone or laptop - in you lap?
On the Internet we are all creating meaningful relationships though blogs, podcasts, webinars, online videos, and social media sites; allowing all of us to create communities of interest. Allowing all of us to have a voice.
Through consistent participation in Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter, TotalPicture Radio has attracted many new listeners over the past year. Our podcasts are supported by ouradvertising partners. Primarily through event sponsorships like ERE Expo, SourceCon, and SHRM.

ADM Research Notes Podcast Advertising Appeals to Unreachable Consumers.
I had the good fortune to participate in a webinar hosed by The Association for Downloadable Media, in conjunction with Edison Research. They presented the findings of a recently concluded Podcast Consumer Attitudes study. The respondents to this online study of active podcast consumers indicated that, although they are increasingly turning away from some mass media platforms and advertising approaches, they are receptive to advertising and sponsorship messages in downloadable media. These consumers also show a significant tendency to consume podcasts on their mobile phones, highlighting the importance of the channel as a truly portable medium.
According to Edison Research Vice President Tom Webster, A podcast advertising buy is not a redundant media buy for advertisers and marketers. These are attractive, affluent consumers that mass media is losing. He also notes, Ninety percent of these respondents indicated that they had taken some kind of action as a result of podcast advertising or sponsorship, and over 40% reported purchasing behaviors, which indicates that they are receptive to the right message, in the right context.
