IN THIS EPISODE:

OK, just between you and me: have you ever done something that you knew you shouldn’t, but you did it anyway? Even if you knew that doing it would get in the way of accomplishing something else that you really wanted?

If we’re being honest with ourselves, we’ve all probably done something that wasn’t in our best interest, even though we knew better. That my friend, is self-sabotage.  

Self sabotage is defined as unwanted behavior that undermines one’s goals. That unwanted behavior can range from common things like procrastination (one I’m guilty of) to more extreme behavior like excessive drinking, risky sex or worse. 

To try and understand why we sometimes behave in this counterproductive way, I reached out to today’s guest, Dr. Howard Farkas.

Howard’s work with self-sabotage began when he observed repeated behavior patterns while working as a health psychologist in a hospital-based, medical weight-management program. He discovered that there was an internal conflict that was the source of these self-defeating behaviors.

However, these insights on self-sabotage extend far beyond that experience and into other areas such as workplace culture, productivity, motivation, habit creation, and goal setting.

This was a really an eye-opening conversation for me and I think you’re going to get a lot out of it as well.

He is the founder and president of Chicago Behavioral Health, which in the past year has become a telehealth psychotherapy practice called Equipoise Teletherapy.

Does taking risks seem impossible? Maybe it's your standard of perfection. In our learning journey, we don't have to know everything. Whether it is in the work place, classroom or personal life, we can see how motivation is intrinsic and extrinsic, which leads us to take action and solve problems. Join us at The Afterword Table as we conclude this conversation on finding motivation.

Lauri Yanis, vice president of Pioneer Valley Educational Publishing, shares that motivation comes by knowing that what we do matters.

Dr. C.C. Bates, professor at Clemson University, explains that focusing on personal interest and curiosity motivates us when trying to overcome challenges.

Key points

• The employer and members of a scheme can contractually agree that the member's entitlement under the scheme will be different to that under the scheme rules
• The case of South West Trains v Wightman established that such "extrinsic contracts" could be effective
• Extrinsic contracts cannot affect benefits which it is agreed have been earned by members' employment before the extrinsic contract is concluded, because of section 91 of the Pensions Act 1995
• Extrinsic contracts can be useful for employers looking to make changes to future pension benefits but they should always be used with care and only after taking legal advice

In our January 2017 podcast, Tim Higgins, President of the In2:InThinking Network, www.in2in.org, and Quality Engineer for NASA, based in Los Angeles, California, shares insights from his 30+ years of studying, applying, and illuminating The Deming System of Profound Knowledge®.

Following a brief career as an educator in a public school system, Tim shifted careers and joined the rocket engine industry, employed by “Rocketdyne” (a division of Rockwell, then Boeing, followed by Pratt & Whitney, and now integrated with Aerojet). Along the way, Tim was introduced to Dr. Deming’s theory of management and, upon reflection, realized his inclinations against grades in school, while serving as a teacher, could be explained through his appreciation of Profound Knowledge.   For a short time, Tim was a member of Rocketdyne’s TQM Office, where he was introduced to the thinking of Genichi Taguchi and partnered with peers to create Rocketdyne’s pioneering “InThinking Roadmap” curriculum.   The subsequent focus on thinking modes led to his contributions as a co-founder of the In2:InThinking Network, a non-profit for which he now serves as president.  

In 2009, Tim crossed the employment bridge from the contractor side (“Rocketdyne”) to the customer side (NASA), inspired the proposition of assuming a role that would help Rocketdyne become a better contractor.

Guided by his extraordinary experiences as a quality advisor, Tim has led study sessions for Dr. Deming’s The New Economics for the past 12+ years, under the sponsorship of “Rocketdyne”.    Beginning in 2017, these sessions, comprised of six 90-minute conference calls, are being sponsored by The Deming Institute.   Led by Tim, participants share their interpretations and questions of The New Economics, chapter-by-chapter, covering 2 chapters in each 2-hour session.    A few highlights from Tim’s musings with Tripp on the study sessions follow below:

• Why he believes Deming (management) is about learning
• The popularity of the question "Why doesn’t everyone get “Deming management”?"
• Why being conscious of context is essential
• Why, when dealing with a difficulty in perception, using logic is no help is helping others see things differently
• Issues associated with extrinsic motivation – punishment and rewards
• Some challenges of letting go of “patting others” on the head
• The widespread similarity of organizations
• What would happen if “rating and ranking” systems were used at home?
• Lessons from transforming his manager
• Feedback from his VP’s administrative assistant on rewards systems
• His realization that the system we have is perfectly designed to obtain the results we’re getting
• Why asking for different results requires a different system
• Some implications of empowerment

You may have heard at some point that there are two types of motivation – extrinsic and intrinsic.

Extrinsic is motivation that we get from our environment.

That’s extrinsic motivation.

Then there’s intrinsic motivation.

This is the motivation that comes from within ourselves.

In this episode, I discuss this with regard to language learning and how we can better motivate ourselves to stay on target.
