Podcast Episode 058                                                  Release Date: April 22, 2016

Robin-Nagle-DSNY-InsigniaOn this podcast Dr. Robin Nagle, director of the John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program at New York University talks about trash and how it affects our lives in ways we may not be aware of. Robin’s TED talk entitled “What I Discovered in New York City Trash” has gone viral, generating over 1.5 million unique views. Dr. Nagle is a clinical associate professor of anthropology and environmental studies at NYU and author of the book Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City, an ethnography of the New York City Department of Sanitation. Her book is based on a decade of work with the Department of Sanitation, which included time on the job working as a uniformed sanitation worker. Dr Nagle’s work looks at the relationship between trash and cities. Within this broader perspective, she is especially interested in the people, history, and politics that are always inherent to labors of waste. Robin is also fascinated by the many ways in which garbage is implicated in every contemporary environmental crisis worldwide. In fact, Robin views sanitation workers as Guardians who protect and insure public health and safety as well as being key contributors to economic prosperity. She says that the public owes a debt of gratitude to the men and women sanitation workers who help keep us safe, and that perhaps because they do their jobs so well, we may take them for granted.

Podcast Episode 057                                                     Release Date: April 15, 2016

 

On this podcast Dr. Tony Howell, the Executive Director of the EOP Program at NJIT, lays out the terrain in which academic and career success takes places at the K-12 and college levels. Dr. Howell distinguishes for listeners how new college students must transition from the paradigm of simply memorizing and regurgitating information presented to them to become co-creators and co-learners in order to excel at the undergraduate and graduate school levels. Dr. Howell says this is an active process and learning to delay gratification and having a future time orientation are foundational keys to academic and career success. Dr. Howell explains how students entering college without the skill set of delaying gratification can learn to alter their perceptions of time in order move away from the need for instant gratification and immediate rewards. Dr. Howell’s gift to students is that he is able to show those who are unfamiliar with the mental discipline required to successfully complete a high level engineering and computer science program how to practically implement new behaviors which lead to academic success. Tony has received numerous awards from prestigious engineering societies and is a respected leader in his field. Listen in to learn how Dr. Howell’s EOP Program at NJIT has been able to help hundreds of students graduate and excel in computer science and engineering careers.

Dr. Woody Johnson Discusses How to Eliminate the Fear of Success, Resistance, and Self-Sabotage that Keeps You Stuck

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Podcast Episode 056                                                                      Release Date: 04/08/2016

 

On this podcast Dr. M. Woodruff Johnson author of the book From Pain to Profit: Secrets of the Peak Performance Trader shares his unique insights into the nature of fear and what holds us back from achieving our goals and the success we so desperately desire. Dr. Woody goes deep by zeroing in on the Fear of Success—a little talked about aspect of human nature that is often the core cause of self sabotage and failure. Dr. Woody goes right to the heart of the matter as he explains what fear is actually all about—Fear of Failure, Fear of Rejection, Fear of Emotional Discomfort, and the Fear of Being Wrong—that ultimately fear is survival mode thinking. Dr. Woody shares his view on how traders and others can win the mental game by first understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors determine our results. Dr. Woody says that by being willing to take personal responsibility for whatever results you are getting in life, you’ll increase your capacity to become self aware; this, along with using appreciative inquiry approaches as part of your trading (success) game plan is what will ultimately allow you to achieve high level results. Put another way, this process allows you to achieve inner and outer congruence such that your thoughts, feeling and behaviors are a “match” internally and externally. Dr. Woody makes the key point that if you want to excel, then you need to make your emotions allies instead of them being your enemies. If you’d like to learn more about Dr. Woody and his unique coaching approaches which accelerate your progress, visit his website at www.hitthetarget.org or email him at wjohnson@tradingacademy.com or give him a call at 310-892-4427.
