Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Hey, you know you really should call in next Saturday, right?
The Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive, that is.
Heck, we might even drive around Wakefield, if’n you do, (call in), the number is: (605) 475-2200 code 6660467# 8:00 pm EDST
So, this last Saturday’s Drive we were delighted to hear Friend of the Doctrine, Cynthia (Need help with your website or online marketationing? Get on over to ArtFunky! Tell ’em the Doctrine sent ya!)
I was late joining the Call. Which prompted the question to her: ‘So what was it that prompted your first call to the Doctrine?’
(New Readers: We ‘met’ Cynthia on the Facebook, way early on in our tenure here. But it, (our nascent friendship), was all in Comments and association with a FB group, Bloopy Bloggers. (Yeah, we know!) Those were simpler times and we were so new and enthusiastic then. In any event, we’d been doing the Call-in a relatively short time when she called. As luck would have it, we were not on the call that particular Saturday Night due to being on a roadtrip. Fortunately, Denise was. And the rest is Doctrine history.)
Well, she, Cynthia, she say, “I was curious and had heard that you were doing an online radio Show.”

the Wakefield Doctrine: the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ‘…more at 4!’
November 14, 2012Welcome 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.*

The Doctrine is a regular topic of conversation. I mean…I watch people and say, “Yep, there’s a Roger!” or “Why is that person so intense? Oh wait, she’s a Scott!” Yeah, it helps with understanding people. One of my favorite things: understanding the rest of the humans a little better.
Let’s just say it helps and leave it at that.
It helps.
