E65: Helping Neighbors in a Small World - National Guard Major from New York helps Ukraine from Kosovo

Talk to Me

It's a small world, after all. That's why we need to take care of each other and look after our neighbors. And everyone is somebody's neighbor.

Michael Angelo Caruso interviews Jordanna Mallach, a Major in the United States National Guard. The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the reserve components of the United States Army and the United States Air Force when activated for federal missions. #NationalGuard

Major Mallach tells how she and other soldiers from around the world contributed to early aid packages to help Ukrainians when #Russia invaded in 2022. #Ukraine

2:00 Jordanna and the National Guard; soldiers are people, too
4:00 United Nations Resolution 1244
6:00 Article 5* (an attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all of them) 9:00 Are two-star Generals half as good as four-star Generals?
10:00 Baby formula, diapers, baby food, long underwear, sleeping bags
13:00 What's Putin's endgame?

Article 5 is the cornerstone of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and states that an attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all of its members.

Despite its importance, NATO has only invoked Article 5 once in its history—in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Jordanna was recently elected as Town Supervisor in Harrietstown, New York, which is only 66 miles from the Canadian border.

Michael Zoomed in from his home office in Rochester, Michigan, only 28 miles from Windsor, Ontario, Canada and the largest border crossing in North America.

Let's look after our neighbors. And in a small world, we're all neighbors.

Remember, the team usually improves right after the leader does. Michael Angelo Caruso delivers a fantastic keynote on leadership that’s both educational and entertaining.

The session covers what your leadership group needs to know about the best ways to educate, motivate, and reward team members. He’ll talk about ways to handle the four most challenging work personalities, giving special attention to handling negative people. You’ll learn a simple, yet effective technique for confidence that few leaders use and the best way to offer criticism.

Unfortunately, most managers try to motivate employees using three tools that usually don’t motivate: job descriptions, performance reviews and evaluation forms that are linked to money. It turns out that money doesn’t motivate most employees anyway. Michael uses the amazing power of story to motivate leaders who attend his presentations.

He covers: • Why money does not motivate most people • Two things that motivate people almost every time • 5 Cool Ideas for dealing with under-performers • Why most job descriptions are de-motivating • The #1 thing workers want (but don’t get) from managers • Why performance reviews should be unpredictable • Why you should never start a meeting late • A secret for interviewing job applicants that’ll save your job • How to deal with the 4 most challenging personalities • Cool Ideas for dealing with negativity • A fun way to guarantee feedback from your team • Tips on how to instantly improve your presentation skills • A simple technique for confidence • How to read people better and faster • The fastest way to show interest in someone • Improve your vocabulary quickly and cheaply • Find the Power Seat in any room • The lost secret of how to give a compliment • 5 Cool Ideas on how to be a better role model • How to be less of a boss and more of a coach
