(56:38) Alan Benson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Work & Organizations, in the Carlson School of Management of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. If you have ever worked in sales, it can be a cutthroat industry with everyone looking to reach the top. This environment was seen as a perfect opportunity to test the concept called the Peter Principal. The Peter Principle states that the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Alan Benson talks about what the Peter Principal is and the study he conducted. ScreamFree Parenting (1:46:23) Hal Runkel is a success coach, consultant, New York Times bestselling author and one of the world’s most trusted resources for life improvement. He is the founder of ScreamFree and The Pause Platform. Parenting is full of stress and sometimes screaming, but getting flustered or angry is not the best way to react to these stressful situations. Instead, we need to take a step back, think about the situation, and then calmly respond to the situation. Hal Runkel, New York Times Bestseller of the book, ScreamFree Parenting, teaches us how to be a calmer parent.
