A car does a back flip on a mountain of snow

January 25, 2016

Here’s something that you definitely won’t want to try at home. French daredevil Guerlain Chicherit, 34, spent four years training for the stunt that he performed without an audience for the first time in case anything went wrong. Using his specially-built Mini Countryman, the stunt driver then did it again last night in front of a roaring crowd at Tignes in the French Alps. This is the heart-stopping moment a champion rally driver became the first person to perform a 360-degree backflip in a car. French daredevil Guerlain Chicherit, 34, sped towards a 25ft high ramp in his specially built Mini Countryman at an exact 37mph. He then hit the quarter-pipe and took off, soaring 75ft into the air and flipping his car a full 360 degrees backwards. The professional stunt driver then landed rear wheels first on other side of the specially-made snow ramp the French ski resort of Tignes, in the Alps.

Networking—It’s More Than Just Talking Business

The Business Networks International (BNI) concept of GAINS (Goals, Accomplishments, Interest, Networks, and Skills) profiles helps members develop personal relationships with each other. Personal interests between two people leads to connections and can be one of the keys to developing business. Dr. Misner, BNI’s founder, couples this with Tom Peters’ concept of 1) do it, 2)fix it, 3)try it; with a suggestion that members spend time and effort working on their GAINS profiles to better connect with their team. The concept is further described in BNI Podcast Episode 5 . Well, the fact that networking is more than just talking business, and when I started BNI, my primary focus was, “Hey, it’s all about business; let’s focus on business.” I mean, even in the introduction of the weekly speaker, I talked about the fact that I trained people to talk about their education, talk about their background, talk about their experience. And I really didn’t suggest that ...

Low Absences = More Referrals

January 26, 2016

It’s been my experience as a long-time member of Business Networks International, that there is a high level of push-back from members to all the BNI “rules.” One, in particular, that seems to get the most attention is the attendance policy. In my own experience, I’ve found that the most successful BNI chapters pay the closest attention to the BNI guidelines. Dr. Misner addresses this topic in a recent podcast. A long time ago a BNI chapter came to Dr. Misner and said they didn’t think attendance made any difference to the amount of referrals passed. They proposed to increase their attendance, track referrals, and demonstrate that there was no difference. By the second quarter of this experiment, absenteeism dropped by 71% to .6 absences per member per quarter. Membership went up 50%, and referrals went up 62% . BNI printed the results of the experiment. Dr. Misner got a call from a member who didn’t believe the results. He proposed to have his chapter track absenc...
