Resumo O objeto desta dissertação são as “atividades motivacionais modernas”, ou seja, atividades voltadas para a criação de um estímulo em indivíduos que, supõe-se, necessitam de um sentido para seu trabalho e/ou sua vida. Tais atividades demandam interrupções da rotina e uma reflexão sobre a própria trajetória do praticante, e há uma oferta variada de produtos com esse fim, oferecidos por empresas especializadas. Neste trabalho nos concentramos em analisar palestras motivacionais, um grupo de encontro de fim de semana chamado Leader Training e o coaching associado à programação neurolinguística (PNL). Buscamos realizar observações participantes, entrevistas e análises de material de divulgação, livros, vídeos e sítios da internet a fim de conseguir apreender essas práticas em suas diversas facetas. Nossa análise e interpretação buscou compreender os mecanismos e estratégias dessas atividades para construção de sua eficácia, por meio de narrativas e performances que buscam realinhar as intenções dos participantes com uma noção convencional de sucesso e felicidade , observando as diferentes maneiras como o discurso científico é acionado e o religioso é sutilmente sugerido na elaboração de seus conteúdos. Operando comparações das descrições de campo com a teoria antropológica, em intersecção com uma análise baseada nos pressupostos dos science studies na sua forma de conceber o moderno em suas simetrias com o não-moderno, acreditamos ter contribuído com a ampliação do olhar sobre o objeto. Palavras chaves: atividades motivacionais; gurus; Large Group Awareness Training ; coaching e PNL; ontologias da modernidade. Abstract Trainers of Meaning: ethnographic notes on modern motivational activities The object of this dissertation are the "modern motivational activities", i.e. activities aimed at creating an incentive in individuals who, one assumes, require a meaning to their work and/or their life. Such activities require routine interruptions and a reflection on the participant’s own trajectory, and there is a wide range of products for this purpose, offered by specialized companies. In this dissertation, we focus on analyzing motivational talks, a weekend group meeting called Leader Training and coaching associated with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). We seek to conduct participant observation, interviews and analysis of promotional materials, books, videos and websites in order to be able to understand these practices in its various facets. Our analysis and interpretation sought to understand the mechanisms and strategies of these activities to build their effectiveness through narratives and performances, that seek to realign the intentions of the participants with a conventional notion of success and happiness, noticing the different ways in which scientific discourse is triggered and the religious is subtly suggested in the development of its contents. We believe that we have contributed to broaden the view on the subject, operating comparisons of field descriptions with the anthropological theory, in intersection with an analysis based on the assumptions of Science Studies in their way of conceiving the modern in its symmetries with the non-modern. Key words : motivational activities; gurus; Large Group Awareness Training; coaching and NLP; ontology of modernity. The job of leadership today is not just to make money, it's to make meaning.

Among them : deep re- sentment in California's Republican Party since Ronald Reagan entered office ; unprecedented national publicity favoring a conservative candidate ; a "Cloud 9" Republican posture going into a presidential year-the most serious of all national events short of war . Republicans are not merely overlooking significant things about Ronald Reagan ; this year, they are inclined to reject even the normal run of inquiry . And finally, the United States has no record of Ronald Reagan's perform- ance in office and the demand has been growing since Novem- ber of 1966 .

We had a good time at the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco socializing as well as touring the facilities. During October, the Steering Committee and we co-chairs discussed the two proposals which came to us for our endorsement: “Sleeping with the Enemy: Hate Collections in Catholic, Masonic, and LGBTQ Repositories,” and “Survey Says . : Motivations, Methodologies and Findings from Four Archival Repository Surveys.” Both proposals actively involve archivists from LGBT repositories, and we endorsed both of them; whether they will be accepted or not, time will show. Austin is a mere nine months away. Of note, SAA web site is now encouraging us to make our reservations at the hotel. What will perhaps surprise you more is our announcement now that it is time to begin putting together a proposal for Washington, D.C. for 2010. What?! If we begin now, we can have the proposals ready to wrap up by the annual meeting in Austin, rather than just beginning work on them.

  • An Analysis of the Campaign to Recall Idaho Senator Frank Church Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Mark Moore
    AN ABSTRACT CF THE THESIS OF Cheri L. Andrews for the degree of Master of Arts in speech communication, political science, and speech communication presented on May 5,1992. Title: The Victory in Vietnam Committee's Manichean Rhetoric: An Analysis of the Campaign to Recall Idaho Senator Frank Church Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Mark Moore The purpose of this study is to illuminate the role, the function, and the ironic outcome of the Victory in Vietnam Committee's campaign pamphlet to recall Senator F-ank Church of Idaho in 1967. The VVC's political strategy was to build credibility with the media through the recall pamphlet. The analysis of the recall pamphlet shows the failure of the Victory in Vietnam Committee to adapt to the intended audience, the media. The pamphlet is further evaluated in the context of manichean rhetoric to highlight the unethical use of credibility building techniques and the ultimate goal of the VVC to stifle Church's dissent with respect to the Vietnam War. The irony of the Victory in Vietnam Committee's explanatory pamphlet is that instead of helping to oust Church by exposing his faults, it caused the downfall of the Victory in Vietnam Committee. The Victory in Vietnam Committee's Manichean Rhetoric: An Analysis of the Campaign to Recall Idaho Senator Frank Church by Cheri L.

  • 1 Regulating Direct Sales at the Edges of Labor And
    THE PYRAMID PROBLEM: REGULATING DIRECT SALES AT THE EDGES OF LABOR AND CONSUMPTION, 1972–1982 JESSICA BURCH UNIVERSITY OF UTAH On September 28, 1972 Walter Mondale stood before the U.S. Senate and declared the pyramid sales plan “the ‘consumer fraud problem of the 1970s.’”1 The Democratic Senator from Minnesota claimed the U.S. was “in the midst of an epidemic of vicious chain selling enterprises, which [have] taken over $300 million in investment money from the American public.” Pyramid sales organizations, according to Mondale, practiced: A wide variety of deceptive, high-pressure sales techniques . to recruit new investors, including the planting of shills in the audience, who prominently display wads of large bills and promise the potential investor that the road to easy riches is at hand . with the result that the potential investors cannot make a rational choice.2 Americans across the country had fallen victim to schemes purporting to sell burglar alarms and long-distance calling cards, lease payphone booths, peddle membership in discount travel and purchasing clubs, and market various (often non-existent) consumer products. According to one estimate, American investors lost more than $1 billion to Ponzi and pyramid schemes in 1976 alone.3 The U.S. already had some state-level regulations in place to police Ponzi schemes. As in Charles Ponzi’s plan to invest in international stamps in the 1920s, a Ponzi scheme recruited individuals to “invest” in an organization or security with the promise of unusually high interest, sometimes upwards of 100%. Early entrants into the scheme received the promised return, which 1 Walter Mondale quoted in Congressional Record: Proceedings and Debates of the 92nd Congress, Second Session.

Abstract This dissertation examines the Amway Corporation, the world’s largest multi-level marketing company. Since its inception, Amway has purported to offer individuals the ability to go into business for themselves and to participate in free enterprise through direct sales. At the same time, many have attacked Amway as a fraudulent pyramid scheme that trades in false promises and leaves its distributors financially and psychologically worse off than before they joined. In addition to running the company for over three decades, Amway’s cofounders, Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel, along with members of their families, have been influential players in the Republican Party and movement conservatism going back to the 1970s. Amway draws our attention to important subtleties in the post-World War II conservative movement. DeVos and Van Andel were prominent avatars of an ideology known as small-business conservatism. Like other champions of free enterprise, small-business conservatives attacked “big government,” but they additionally articulated a critique of corporate capitalism.

    PHILOSOPHY | PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TAKING ACTION The Philosophy of Network Marketing To have a philosophy, there must be a philosopher. by Paul Morris 2541 words | 8 pages ————————————————————— To have a philosophy, there must be a philosopher. Since the Network Marketing Industry is not a person, then there is no single philosophy from an individual, but rather the entity of Network Marketing has a philosophy of its own that has been created on its behalf by the many thought leaders that have shaped the industry for more than half a century. The early philosophers so to speak, were Forrest Shaklee, Founder of Shaklee, Carl Rhenborg, Founder of Nutrilite, Earl Shoaf, founder of Nutri-Bio, Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel, founders of Amway. Other early influencers were William “Bill” Bailey, founder of Best Line Products, and William Penn Patrick, founder of Holiday Magic. Other notables are Glenn Turner, founder of Koscot Interplanetary and Dare to be Great, Mark Hughes, founder of Herbalife, and Larry Huff and Larry Thompson top leaders with Herbalife and also later founders of their own companies. Although more direct sales than Network Marketing an honorable mention would go to Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics. A late comer but also a strong influencer is D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils. Each of these people have had a major part in shaping the prevailing philosophies surrounding the Network Marketing Industry and have left indelible fingerprints on the pages of MLM history. www.TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com 1 In 1915, Long before thoughts of MLM had even come into existence, at age 21, Forrest C.
