Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks (who are the creative ones and therefore the ones to show up with something like this here theory here) and scotts (who are the ones who are all about ‘the doing’ action-oriented who thought doing an internet radio show was a good idea) and rogers (who are the ones in touch with the feelings and emotions of the masses and has the voice that the audience will respond to))
Allow me to say, Thank you for your encouraging ‘knuckle bumps’/’chest bumps’/’high fives’ and your (secretly destructive) well wishes and other booby-trapped sentiments!
Today’s Post is going to be brief as I am trying to outline some sort of script for the Test Show that I will be doing on BlogTalkRadio today. There are a lot of reasons for trying this thing, but for now, bottom line is that I will have 30 minutes to fill this afternoon at 4:00 pm.
The interesting thing will be how I manifest not only my pre-dominant clarklike aspect but my secondary scottian and (distant) tertiary rogerian aspects in the course of the day today.
This is, of course, the beauty part of the Wakefield Doctrine and it’s use and value to anyone who has ever said “I know I can do better, why do I always hold back? I know my bad habits, when I change them things get better, but somehow I end up back doing the same thing that I know I don’t need to do!'”
Sound familiar? Well, good news! The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that self-improvement/self-development is not about getting rid of bad habits and trying to learn something totally new (and therefore so unlike you) and then trying to remember to do the new thing instead of the old thing!
No, it is not!
It is way better than that, but I need to save something for later today, so you will just have to dial in to hear how the Wakefield Doctrine can change your life and such.
The thing about this radio show format that is daunting is that, unlike the Saturday Night Drive Call-in show, I will need to assume that there are listeners…for the entire 30 minutes. On Saturday Night, in-between calls I don’t need to talk! Well, I’m sure it will work out, I will simply need to bring out my scottian aspect (for the lively pacing, the enthusiasm, the excitement) and my rogerian aspect for the words, and descriptions and that (god, how the hell do they do it?) total conviction that the world is hanging on their every word!
(as they say in the radio biz..)
The lines are now open! So write us a Comment and suggest ways I should spend the 30 minutes of internet fame.*
By popular Demand! (Jasmine and Melanie and them) here is what I believe to be the link to the show…

*scotts not eligible to Comment! lol



I have never been on radio myself so this all sounds truly exciting to me. My only piece of advice is going to sound like something a mother would say (Ok my mother probably would), “Just be yourself and the rest will fall into place”. Ok, as corny as that may sound, I think it is good, solid advice, because it came from the heart. Anyway, congrats and am rooting for you over here :) :)
@ Janine
Thank you for that… I will attempt to take your advice. Isn’t this internet thing amazing? The connectivity that is possible/available really is something.
I’ve been interviewed on the radio before for my music. I thought a lot in advance about what kinds of things I wanted the world to know about my music. I’m not much for “flying by the seat of my pants.” I had some specific ideas in mind to rely on because, when I’m on the spot, my mind can go blank.
@Jasmine
“…when I’m on the spot, my mind can go blank” I can identify with that and I am kinda thinking that ‘having my mind go blank wouldn’t be the worse thing’ lol ( Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine where zen rules!)
but, I have been going on record these past couple of years about how totally useful the Doctrine is for self-developing ourselfs.. so it’s time to see how good this thing really is!
thank you for the clarklike positive vibes
Well that is exciting! And a lot of time to fill! I don’t have any specific questions (I’ve only had one cup of coffee today) but I know that discussing how people relate to one another is always interesting to me…in relationships, at work, parents and children with different ways of perceiving the world.
Good luck!
@Amy
good suggestions! I am in the process of writing ‘talking points’* for myself and will add your suggestions
*no, we never ever leave the world of ‘Don’t you have a Book Report due sometime? Tomorrow morning? First thing?)
lol How can we tune in to listen? Do you have a link?
@Jasmine
..well, there is that! lol I have added what I would like to believe is the url that will take a person to the place that, at 4pm will be where the Wakefield Doctrine will be talking!
And where have you added the url to?
hopefully at the bottom of this here Post here
Thank you! I’ll be listening :)
@Jasmine
cool
What an exciting opportunity for you! Some thoughts to fill the time:
– Can people inherit a worldview (e.g. If parents have one worldview, do their children normally have the same?)?
– What worldview do clarks, rogers, and scotts tend to be attracted to in a mate?
– Do like-minded worldviews tend to stick together?
I’m sure you’ll have no trouble filling the time! Best of luck, Clark!!
@Cari
Thank you for the talking points! I just emailed them to myself for my outline (having to hold the phone might limit how much I can get from my computer at the time).
One of these days, I’ll call, but living out in the woods has its drawbacks. It is, however, a clark’s dream. ;) I do find myself wishing I lived closer to family, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. :)
I hope the show went well, because now that I’m here to read and comment, I know it’s done and over with. I’m sure it went well; your information and posts are always spectacular. :)
@Cyndi
It did go well. The most amazing thing for me (between us clarks, don’t tell anyone) is that the Doctrine is totally working! i.e. I am trying to present it as (among other things) a totally effective system for self-development and well, I don’t have to tell you that in order to have me get within a mile of a radio show (even if it is only digital) is a frickin miracle. Hell, as a clark I don’t even like to have my picture taken, never mind voice and such! as they say, ‘Stay tuned, y’all’
The link works but you have to copy and paste….
