“Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing,” said former UCLA Bruins football coach “Red” Sanders (original quote 1950).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that attitude has since come to define America in almost every area from sports to politics to business, and it’s doing more harm than good. America has an obsession with winners, and winning is often at any cost.<\/p>\n

Today’s political parties are closer in resemblance to opposing football teams than they are elected officials who are supposed to be serving their electorate for the greater good of all.\u00a0 Rather than focusing on bipartisan cooperation to tackle the pressing problems this nation is facing, it appears the new agenda is to get as many members of their own parties elected or re-elected. After all, it’s all about the winning, right?<\/p>\n

So why is America so obsessed with competition and winning? It’s reflected everywhere these days, from schools to corporate boardrooms to so-called “reality” TV,” where competitors are pitted against one another and there can only be one winner, with everyone else labeled a “loser.” These shows do not emphasize cooperation or excellence of character, rather they drive home the theme that you’re only good enough if you’re a winner.<\/p>\n

Maybe Trump is finally right on one thing he’s said all along, “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be…sick and tired of winning.”<\/p>\n

America, are we “sick” from winning too much yet?<\/p>\n

(2) Paul Blanchard<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Joining the show during the second hour is\u00a0Paul Blanchard, <\/strong>the founder and principal consultant of Right Angles, a media consultancy based in London and New York. Paul will be discussing his book, Fast PR: Give Yourself a Huge Media Boost.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We live in a time when companies are finding their fortunes rise and fall with a single tweet. Leaders’ reputations and company shares can plummet as fast as you can say, “What were you thinking?” Social media’s lightning speed means that cause-and-effect spans moments, not days–with businesses or individuals scrambling to mitigate the damage. It’s critical to know how to deal with a mess effectively.<\/p>\n

PR mastermind Paul Blanchard can help anyone learn the best tactics for mastering media coverage. He knows it’s just as important to know what not to do as what to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"Fast PR\u00a0<\/i>offers every painful lesson Paul’s learned along the way. It’s everything you should do – and everything you shouldn’t do. If it works, it’s in this book. If it doesn\u2019t work – this book will tell you why. It\u2019s packed with snippets of accessible and highly practical advice from some of the most able communicators in the world.<\/p>\n

Anyone can learn how to do their own PR \u2013 get in the press, on TV and radio, and get results. You don\u2019t need a PR agency. All you need is this book, a laptop, a phone\u2026 and some ambition.<\/p>\n

Paul Blanchard is the founder and principal consultant of Right Angles, a media consultancy based in London and New York. He’s also had an active career in politics and is a former parliamentary advisor whose 2005 campaign gained the largest vote increase in the country. He holds a degree in law and a fellowship of the RSA, The Royal Institution, and the Institute of Leadership & Management.
