Ted Tuesday: Dan Dennett — Cute, Sexy, Sweet, Funny

"Why are babies cute? Why is cake sweet? Philosopher Dan Dennett has answers you wouldn't expect, as he shares evolution's counterintuitive reasoning on cute, sweet and sexy things."

Good Morning Folks,

Today on MitchWeiner.com I am pleased to share another of the dynamic TedX talks that have been viewed by millions of people worldwide.

We think backwards. As a species we tend to think of cause and effects as reversible: “post hoc ergo propter hoc.” That means “after this, ergo because of this.” This is of course a logical fallacy, because saying that “since something came after this event, it was obviously caused by the event it came after”. Yet it is the way we as human beings think all the time.

Why are babies cute? Why is cake sweet? Philosopher Dan Dennett has answers you wouldn't expect, as he shares evolution's counterintuitive reasoning on cute, sweet and sexy things (plus a new theory from Matthew Hurley on why jokes are funny).

What about funny? What is funny for? It must be important, mustn't it? We spend billions of dollars annually on candy and cookies, sexy advertising and pornography, and the cute mice, bears, dragons, and fish of the animated film industry, but we also spend billions on comedy -- funny movies, funny television, funny books, and comedians. We pay good money, and stand in line, and even take time out from eating and making love to satisfy our voracious appetite for humor. Why do we have the taste at all? What good is a funny bone? Other species don't seem to need one.

And why has it taken so long for someone to realize that this is an important puzzle? 

In this video Dan explains a very similar idea. We think of something a certain way, not because of a quality innate in it’s materials, but because of our brains interpretation of it. As Dan used in his example, Babies in and of themselves are not cute. Cute is just our interpretation in our brain, explaining our need to keep it alive. Humans can sometimes learn this way, as a child we can learn, that things are dangerous, not because they actually are, but because we have mental associations with it (ex: we’re spanked if we steal.) In and of itself, the act of stealing is not negative, but because of our brains, we interpret it as bad.

This video is simple in its approach and well done. It’s definitely with the seven minutes to watch it.

Thanks, Daniel, for continuing to stretch my thinking and approach to this world. Thanks to TedX project and Huffington Post and most of all to you for listening.

Let's all go make things happen today. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love Life!

About FSO Onsite Outsourcing
Recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest growing companies for the second consecutive year, and lead by industry pioneer, Mitch Weiner, FSO's growth and success can be attributed to making a positive and powerful impact on their clients' bottom lines, as well as their employees' careers and lives.

A Company That Emphasizes Happiness, And Positively Reinforces Great Service Is One You’ll Want To Know

"Permanent happiness comes from you choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness, then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness" ~~Rhonda Byrne

Good Morning Folks,

Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent.

Regardless of your looks, skills or intelligence, or what struggles you have had in your life --  if you don’t have a good attitude, if you don’t believe that happiness is a “choice”, if you don’t believe you can accomplish great things then you will never achieve success.  

Look around you. You work for a HAPPY company, with a Chief HAPPINESS Officer at the helm - who truly wants you to be happy, who gives you all the tools, opportunities and support to grow and be happy at what you do. You know why? 

Unhappy people, negative people, uncooperative people, complaining people just attract more unhappiness, negativity and difficulty into their lives. Those people can never truly be PERSONAL, PASSIONATE and PRODUCTIVE. 

But... on the FSO side of the coin... happy employees are contagious. Happy employees create a great work environment, and happy employees create more opportunity.

Our Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams are firing on all cylinders! We have the competition on their heels, with more and more of their clients taking a serious look at FSO and deciding that we are the only real choice when it comes to outsourcing.   

The FSO Train is screaming down the track, exceeding our client’s expectations and delivering on our promise to love and nurture our most valuable asset, our employees!  

==>  FSO is the Fastest growing outsourcer in the Industry
==>  FSO is the displacing its competitors every day
==>  FSO is the best place to work in the industry
==>  FSO is providing thousands a chance to reach their goals
==>  FSO is the most sought out company in the industry to work

What a great thing to say about your job!  

I talk to a lot of prospects that have our competitors currently. EVERY time I speak with them I get a bit nauseas because they tell me they are marginally happy, that they do not get any ideas from the current provider, that the staff onsite isn’t happy, that the management from the current company has never been to the site or met with them, that the local manager never provides reports, and the list goes on. UGH! I have seen the great work we do on-site and I am a true believer that (re)Imagine is our differentiator. 

Every time we (re)Imagine we win! Do not underestimate the impact that wiping off finger prints on a glass door can have. Do not underestimate the impact of your smile on a customer. Little things like straightening up an unsightly lobby, helping to set up a conference room when it is not our service agreement, it is the kind words and great attitude and providing ideas and recommendations for improvements. 

Your career and your growth is top of mind for me every single moment of the day. We have excitement in our company and I want you all to be excited. 

YOU are always appreciated for what YOU do, being who YOU are and the role YOU play in the company. Without YOU there could be no FSO. 

Set your goals and expectations high but more importantly, achieve them.  

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

InspireME: An Old Man Was Walking On The Beach One Morning After A Storm...

"Each and every one of us are FSO starfish; every day it should be our goal to spread the love and happiness of our wonderful company to the field, the clients and future members of our family. The love running throughout this company is infectious and it’s impossible to not share it with everyone I come in contact"

TGIF Folks,

This is Friday, InspireME Friday to be exact, the day of the week day when MitchWeiner.com sends you off to your weekend on a high note. Because, achievement begins with an inspiration. 

For the past few weeks we've gotten great response selecting and sharing with the world some very special motivational messages that our own employees, from all walks of the company, publish internally every day.

To cap off an amazing week I know a girl, she puts COLOR inside my world. She's my daughter, FSO people Solutions Specialist, Chelsea Weiner. Today I share her story and an analogy that is incredibly meaningful to her, as it soon will be to all of us, in a highly personal way: The tale of the Starfish. 

Whenever someone brings anything Starfish related to Chelsea's attention it reminds her that she has kept promise to a dear friend whose young life was cut short when he volunteered to be designated driver from a party and got rear ended at a stoplight by a drunk driver which pushed the car into oncoming traffic. He was killed instantly and everyone else in the car survived. This story is Chelsea's way of honoring her friend's memory and letting his love and light shine brightly on. Chelsea writes:

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING FSO AND WELCOME TO YOUR WEEKEND! 

What a great day for everyone to reach out their arms (NO YAWNING HAHA) and spread the FSO love!

Speaking of spreading our arms; did you know if you cut a starfish into pieces all of its appendages will grow back, creating a few new starfish?! How cool is that! Each and every one of us are FSO starfish; every day it should be our goal to spread the love and happiness of our wonderful company to the field, the clients and future members of our family.

Imagine you’re one of the pieces of the once whole starfish; this is your chance, today, it’s your new beginning! You have been given the opportunity to show what you’re made of, to be so much stronger and better than you were just the day before.

We are so lucky that we have Mitch, our incredible and fearless leader, who continues to pave the way for us every day. He never fails to show us the true meaning of being available 25/8 not 24/7. Mitch is the perfect example of what it means to be an FSO starfish; going above and beyond and giving everything he has to us, the field, and the clients. It’s our job to give that same effort and more back to him and the field as well! Show ‘em what you’ve got!

Recently, I have shifted from spending all of my time training and developing our employees to having the privilege of meeting with clients, sitting in sales meetings, meeting future prospects and more. I have been given the opportunity to be a starfish myself! I wear my FSO pin proudly while showing what PERSONAL, PASSIONATE AND PRODUCTIVE means everywhere I go. What do you do every day to do the same? Are you an FSO brand ambassador?

The love running throughout this company is infectious and it’s impossible to not share it with everyone I come in contact with (and if you don’t feel the love, let me know, and The Wonder Twins will show you what it’s all about!!). So as you get ready to start your day take a second to think; how am I contributing to the FSO competitive difference? How can I be better? How can I get to infinity and beyond? How can I be that starfish?

START YOUR DAY WITH A BANG!
WE CAN DO IT!
WE WILL DO IT!
MAKE IT COUNT FSO USA!" ~~  Chelsea Weiner
People Solutions Specialist

How did the Starfish become a powerful and fitting tribute to her friend's life? Chelsea explained, "On my 16th birthday he told me he couldn’t make it to my party but brought me a gift which was a starfish necklace. It was BEAUTIFUL, he told me that starfish can be cut up into little pieces and re-grow their appendages and that reminded him of me. I asked him why and he said because I’m was part of every clique in the school - athletes, popular, choral, acting, skater, loners, etc. He could see that I just loved making friends, letting people know that I was someone they could always come to; he had never met anyone else like me. I was in tears just listening to him and he made me promise that no matter what I would never lose that characteristic."

Though it's a sad story where Chelsea's love of Starfish came from, it is a constant reminder that friends are always looking over us. That in mind, it's not just an advertising slogan that "friends don't let friends drink and drive."

Remember alcohol + driving = death. It happened to Chelsea's friend and it can happen to anyone. Please drink responsibly.

With this weekend approaching seasonal halftime and "peak party", I can't think of a more important message to leave you with as you soak up all of the weekend fun that is uniquely summer and precious in the time that remains.

Make a difference - catch someone doing something good… make it count.. make it great and always SMILE!

Enjoy your weekend and Love Life!

Good Morning Folks,

July is almost over and we are already into the throws of summer. We passed the halfway point of 2014 and what a first half it has been!

You, our employees, are the heart and soul of FSO. As we continue to grow and spread our message across the country, the stories of your exceptional performance and dedication to making sure all of our clients are treated in that special FSO fashion grows along with us.  

Every day, the Executive Leadership Team receives countless messages from our clients telling us about the fantastic deeds all of you are doing. This is what sets us apart, something no other company can brag about, the PERSONAL, PASSIONATE and PRODUCTIVE approach we take in everything we do. 

Before we say goodbye for this month, we’d like to share with you some scenes from one of our latest site openings at Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr in Dallas & Houston Texas!

We grow every day.... yes... EVERY DAY..... We accomplish that by having the BEST people on our team, folks like those I've honored here today.

Perhaps that is why I love Wednesdays.... because it gives everyone an opportunity to reflect upon things, and challenge oneself to make the rest of the week great!! Because the "rest of the week" is just a little bit of our future.... so what we do great today makes our future even greater!!  

To all of our winners, CHEERS to you and THANK YOU for working tirelessly to deliver Service Extraordinaire with a smile. Keep up the great work!!

People like you make our clients jobs a lot easier. We are not business as usual. FSO is firing on all cylinders, there is no company out there that can come close to us to what we are doing. We are, I promise, the ones to watch.

Ted Tuesday: The Emerging Work World in the Participation Age | Chuck Blakeman | TEDxMileHigh

In this funny and insightful talk, Chuck Blakeman explores the hallmarks of the Participation Age (a workforce who wants to Make both Money and Meaning at work)— and its attraction to the next generations of stakeholders and leaders.

Good Morning Folks,

What does it mean to be a company that has joined the Participation Age? How does this new business perspective affect the bottom line? In this funny and insightful talk, Chuck Blakeman explores the hallmarks of the Participation Age, and their attraction to the next generations of stakeholders and leaders.

Says Chuck in a piece he penned for INC, "We are living at the intersection of two opposing work worlds, The Industrial Age, which is still strangely dominant in the front office of most companies. And the Participation Age, which is emerging as the new standard for how we work."

"In the production area, we have replaced Industrial Age assembly lines and smokestacks with things like nanotechnology and clean rooms. But the front office looks pretty much the same way it did a hundred years ago, with managers in ties making all the decisions. These Industrial Age management practices, which recreated humans as extensions of machines, are colliding with the emerging Participation Age workforce that wants to Make Meaning at work.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

Enjoy!



Well done Chuck I always love your articles and your forward thinking. 

Let's all go make things happen today. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love Life!

Only Great Leaders Create Great Companies

 “Everyone has the right to have a career not just a job at my company. Your job becomes your career the moment you see the possibilities for growth and satisfaction.” ~~ Mitch Weiner

Good Morning Folks,

Welcome to Monday. The dawn of a new day is the light of a new way. There is always a chance, a new opportunity but it starts today. So forget about the past and do not dream too much of the future. Stop searching and start being. Happiness is not a destination. It's HERE.

Today we can be the best father, the best mother, the best son and daughter. Today is the day to be the best brother and sister. Today we can be the best informtionalist. The best trainer. The best sales person. The best receivables collector. The best analyst. The best marketing director. The best manager.

==> Because Only Great Leaders Create Great Companies. 
Great leaders will challenge and inspire their people in their quest for excellence. People will only experience a feeling of pride when they worked hard for their success. If success comes easily, overnight, without too much effort, pride will not enter the equation.

The quest for excellence never stops and is all around. In every piece of packaging. Every swipe of the finger. Every "How can I help you?" Everything.

And it doesn't matter just some of the time. It matters all of the time. A great leader must be able to light that spark of continuous improvement within each and every employee. One cannot become motivated just because the boss says so. Only intrinsically motivated people are able to amaze themselves and as a result amaze the world.

Whether you're making a product or offering a service, it all starts with the passion you have for whatever you do and the ability you have to focus your energy to become successful. A great leader creates a clear and compelling vision that makes people passionate.

That is our special sauce, a personal, passionate and productive culture that can't be failed or duplicated.

Over the years what I have found is the true personality of the leader becomes the personality of the business. If a leader truly has respect and trust built into their DNA then ultimately it flows through to the business. It may start by hiring like minded people. Typically when an entrepreneur starts out he or she will need support staff and the leader will hire based on skills and expertise. But there is a quiet voice from within the leader that says they want people to join their team that have similar values, traits and some form of commonality to their character..

==> A New Breed of Worker is About to Attack Everything You Hold Sacred.
In 2008, the renowned TV news program, 60 Minutes ran a story about Gen Y in the workplace and proclaimed that a "new breed of American worker is about to attack everything you hold sacred." The program described millennials as cynical, unaccustomed to hard work and having fragile egos because their childhoods filled with trophies and adulation didn't prepare them for the cold realities of work.

Gen Y sees what is known as the American Dream or middle class dream as less about money and more about living a fulfilling, meaningful life. So a couple of things are clear. First, Gen Y has a significantly different attitude toward work and life in general than the current dominant Baby Boom generation; and second, the current ongoing difficult economic times are placing the economic and social welfare of Gen Y in jeopardy, something that is not of their doing. We can only hope Gen Y will not be recorded in history as another “Lost Generation.”

As I wake up in wonderful New York City, the epicenter of world business- I can't help but think how awesome it is that we have so many cities and teams across FSO USA - how amazing are the opportunities for every single person in our great company - what a time in everyones careers to know that your future is so bright

Many of our competitors have fulfilled their declaration. In the meantime, they are maintaining status quo. Unless corporations create new declarations, their future will continue to experience results which resemble the past, with the addition of more, better or different. Quantum leaps require bold declarations and a clear committed mindset to navigate though change.

==> How Extraordinary Leaders Separate Themselves from Ordinary Leaders
Leaders do not have the luxury of falling back into their comfort zone. In some cases, creating a problem is designed to transform an existing problem. In other cases, it is designed to create a new and empowering future.

For example, when Jack Welch became the CEO of GE, there was nothing wrong with the enterprise. It was not in distress or in need of a turn around. Yet, he was committed to building an extraordinary corporation. So, he created a problem. He declared that every business unit had to be number one or number two in its respective industry. If they were not, the unit would be sold. If your unit were ranked number six in its industry, you would have had a problem.

At the same time, Welch stood for his people. Instead of micro managing them, he ensured they had the appropriate training and development to fulfil his declaration.

Is it possible for a CEO to create a new future for their organization? A big part of the CEO’s job is to do just that. Yet, many companies don’t invent the future. They maintain status quo. As a result, they become casualties of the economy or worse, the competition? Inventing the future requires one to rock the boat. Doing so, results in innovative products and services or significant cost cutting initiatives.

Nevertheless, many organizations choose to protect status quo because they are too vested in the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, when you look at extraordinary leaders, you find a complete disruption of status quo.

That's not about to happen here, Nevertheless, once a future is distinguished as is ours, it helps a person clearly distinguish the future as well as the necessary actions to fulfill it.

That's why on a day when the big news in business is that Nasdaq’s computers were hacked and Shakira Has hit 100 Million Fans on Facebook, we are a growing company, and with growth comes opportunity, inspiration, and of course some speed bumps along the way.

==> The True Personality Of The Leader Becomes The Personality of The Business
Almost most of our major competitors have all the mentioned ingredients in place but still most fail to get extra mile / advantage. 

The company culture takes on the trust, respect, inspirations and other positive traits that one looks for in a leader and manifests itself into a language that also encompasses action which the company fulfills in the marketplace. The brand will embrace those actions in your services and methods of communication.

At the end of the day, we need to stay in-tune and continue to communicate those positive attributes we all strive for. We emulate them, we learn from them, we teach them and finally we simply share them. Living a positive life that helps others to grow. And so it continues....deeds will speak for themselves and build the trust and respect we all yearn for.

My commitment to you is that we will do all that we can and then some to meet and exceed your needs and expectations of FSO.

Be sincere, believe in why you do it & listen to people & bring people on board who have good character. Then you will truly lead to make a difference.

And most of all while growing, building and ensuring profitable galactic growth, we are inspiring our staff, our clients, our readers and that everyone is having some fun along with all the hard work.

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

InspireME Friday: The Best Way To Predict The Future Is To Create It

"There is no limit to what you can achieve as long as you are passionate about doing the right things for the right reasons."

Good Morning Folks,

I hope you are all having a PERSONAL, PASSIONATE, and PRODUCTIVE week!!

Every Friday we send you off to the weekend with an inspiring message selected by me personally from all the daily motivational messages circulating inside our company, authored by employees across all geographies and roles.

That in mind, I am pleased to introduce one of our Dallas Experience Managers, Stephen Lafley, and his post, "The best way to predict the future is to create it!" Here's Stephen:

When I first started off in the work force many years ago, I can remember being in a job interview with a fortune 250 Company. The District Manager asked me to tell him what I thought I would like my future to be with them. I told him that I wanted to be successful, happy, productive but mostly employed. I knew deep down in me I had enormous drive, fortitude and had what it took to be successful.   

He then asked me to define what success meant to me. I can remember sitting there thinking of all of the things that I wanted to say, but when I said them in my head they sounded so cliché. I knew that what he was asking me was how I was going to be successful with them and what I would bring to the table. Not what is success, but how to achieve it. I was just 20 years old and had not worked in such an environment. I thought for a moment and then told him that success would be to achieve his position and eventually move further up the ladder. Not knowing if I blew the interview, I had to just wait to hear if I got the entry level job or not. To my surprise I was offered the job. Once the 90 day trial period ended and I was doing well, I asked the District Manager why he hired me. He laughed and said that he saw it in my eyes, the passion and desire to do well and told me never to sell myself short as I have the power to create my future. 

After 36 successful years with this company, I have now since retired from them and have started a new career with FSO. When you give a 100% in everything you do, always being positive and work hard, you create your future.  Success does not happen by chance, you (we) make it happen. Having a dream without action is just a dream. Having a vision of where you want to be in the future and acting on it, is building that future.  

There is no limit to what you can achieve as long as you are passionate about doing the right things for the right reasons. Like Mitch's "See 2020 clearly" vision, he is predicting our future and we are here to help him (us) create that vision. As the company's future grows, so does ours. So, predict your future and act on it every day.

Thanks, Stephen! Appreciate it. 

There is so much excitement and activity going on throughout the entire company. We have a great team and this is our time. Each day we show our prospects and our clients a REIMAGINED way to go to business. That is why they hire us. 

You have value to bring, a contribution to make, and your happiness is on the line. BELIEVE in the service you provide and the passion you sell from within. 

Make a difference - catch someone doing something good… make it count.. make it great and always SMILE!

Enjoy your weekend and Love Life!
