15
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:57.540
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Terry, I, I, if I were any more excited about being with you. I would have to like jettison straight out, I've really been looking forward to this. It's so good to see
16
00:02:57.690 --> 00:03:06.840
Terry Wildemann: Well, the feeling is mutual and it is great to see you and I'm honored to have you on my podcast I truly am because
17
00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:20.370
Terry Wildemann: I love your message so much and it needs to be heard your expertise, your experiences, your stories are so juicy and powerful that quite frankly
18
00:03:20.820 --> 00:03:42.780
Terry Wildemann: I want to share them with my audience. So I know that you began as a researcher and a teacher at a university. And I'm curious. How did you leap from opening tense it from being a professor to opening 10 successful businesses that that's that's quite the launch
19
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:56.580
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: It is. It's, I love the question because it's one of my favorite stories and it is what started this. And one of the things that you say so beautifully, you know, in terms of of trusting your intuition and listening.
20
00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:06.870
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: To what you're being told. Right. I never wanted to be a researcher, that was never my goal is, you know, I wanted to be with Barbra Streisand. I mean, there was
21
00:04:07.260 --> 00:04:19.290
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: No zero plan to be a teacher or researcher, I went to graduate school because my family told me to which is a boring story that led to a really exciting adventure. Right.
22
00:04:20.010 --> 00:04:31.590
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So in the middle of presenting a research report, I got recruited to do this research study straight out of grad school, which was a gift.
23
00:04:32.190 --> 00:04:42.090
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And I left and took this position teaching and doing research. And one of the research studies that I was putting in charge of
24
00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:57.930
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Was to evaluate a new alcoholism. Treatment Center at a time when this was brand new. Alright, so, so we're going to date ourselves here, right. So this was back in the early 80s.
25
00:04:58.650 --> 00:05:16.530
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And in that time, people were just starting to ask questions like, is alcoholism, a disease or is it a social problem. So this hospital had developed a treatment that they wanted evaluated and that's what I was directed to do
26
00:05:17.550 --> 00:05:22.320
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Now three years into the study, we get a letter from the United States Senate.
27
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:34.860
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: That they too are looking at alcoholism and many other health issues to determine whether or not their diseases because and here's the political piece.
28
00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:46.860
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: If they are, then the next question that Congress needed to decide was should it be covered by something new, everybody was talking about called health insurance.
29
00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:52.890
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Right. So we go back a ways. This was in the early days of the HMO right
30
00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:11.790
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So we were asked to come and present the report. And so in that moment on for the next six months, every single day six hospital attorneys crammed into my tiny little eight by eight cubicle to watch what I was doing.
31
00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:20.130
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And everything I wrote down, they would look at and they would raise their eyebrows and they'd say,
32
00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:28.140
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Maybe you could just see it this way or, you know, I think you should put a comma there, or do you really have to include that number.
33
00:06:29.070 --> 00:06:36.780
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: One of the things we were taught in graduate school, Terry. And I know you know if you talk to the data enough. They'll confess to anything.
34
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:50.520
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And what the attorneys were doing in their own really logical and not illegal way was getting me to torture the data so that it would present the hospital in a better light.
35
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:51.870
Terry Wildemann: And
36
00:06:52.140 --> 00:07:10.380
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: It wasn't illegal. It wasn't ethical from my, like, you know, 21 year old perspective. Right. Um. So long story short, we end up in Washington, DC, ready to present this report.
37
00:07:11.190 --> 00:07:19.920
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: I had worked in and worked it and I'm the morning I'm supposed to start presenting I opened my book and it's not the report I had written
38
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:22.560
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: It's the one they had
39
00:07:22.770 --> 00:07:29.520
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Altered at the last minute to make sure all the T's were crossed and I's are dotted
40
00:07:30.270 --> 00:07:44.880
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: But I didn't recognize it and I didn't know what would come when I turned the page and it scared me. I was afraid to stand in front of the Senate and say things that I wasn't sure were true.
41
00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:56.730
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: If none of understand none of it was alive, but I got frightened and so instead of just forging forward and reading it. I had to make a decision in that moment.
42
00:07:58.260 --> 00:08:09.750
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And it's a decision. I think that a lot of entrepreneurs make at some point in our career we're faced with a moment where we have to decide what we do next.
43
00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:29.490
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The question I was asking myself, is do I speak what I know, or do I read this and I just, you know, I heard this voice in my head. That was about trusting myself about following integrity.
44
00:08:30.510 --> 00:08:40.530
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And trusting the data. So I opened my mouth and I just started to talk about this study. I mean, nobody knew it better than me. Right. I was managing the darn thing.
45
00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:54.330
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And as soon as I went off script. My boss on one side of me and the hospital director on the other kind of grabbed me and all the male attorneys that were behind me, you could hear their breathing change.
46
00:08:55.110 --> 00:09:06.390
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And I got scared. Again, but I couldn't stop. I couldn't stop. And so I forged ahead and the long and short of this is that by the time we finished.
47
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:16.200
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The senators made a decision that in fact what the hospital was doing was awesome. And what we had found was life changing.
48
00:09:16.530 --> 00:09:28.920
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And they made a decision that alcoholism is a disease and because of that millions of people have been served through their insurance and medical intervention ever since. But there's no way I could have known that.
49
00:09:30.150 --> 00:09:38.580
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: What I learned that day was two really important lessons that I've carried with me that launched it all for me one.
50
00:09:39.270 --> 00:09:54.570
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Is that I really have to know that what I do makes an impact and that one woman standing there making an ethical decision and doing what she believes is right.
51
00:09:55.050 --> 00:10:10.650
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Can go on to make a massive impact in the world that I knew. On that day. The other thing I learned was I couldn't be an employee. I just couldn't follow other people's roles. So I went back to the university I quit my job.
52
00:10:11.790 --> 00:10:25.320
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And that night, my hairdresser came to my home to do my hair and she brought a bottle of wine to celebrate the fact that I had quit. Now, you have to understand directing and alcoholism study for three years. I hadn't had a sip of anything.
53
00:10:26.310 --> 00:10:43.890
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And so about one glass in and I was ready to roll. And I came up with an idea that she and I should open a hairdressing salon and show the world that you could make more money by focusing on impact than by focusing on money.
54
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:58.290
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Stayed up all night wrote a one page proposal walked into a bank. The next day, and told them my intention was to open a social laboratory to prove that business could be more effective if we stop thinking about money.
55
00:10:58.770 --> 00:11:08.940
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And put all of our focus on to making a measurable difference in people's lives and they were intrigued. They wrote me a check for $50,000 which at the time was a fortune.
56
00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:12.690
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And then I opened my first business and never looked back.
57
00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:17.670
Terry Wildemann: Thank you for sharing such an amazing story.
58
00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:30.750
Terry Wildemann: You've got an emotion is huge because that has been we share the mantra people first put service. First, the rest is going to flow.
59
00:11:31.710 --> 00:11:41.550
Terry Wildemann: verity comes after you focus on service from the heart, not from here, from the heart rate. Absolutely. So
60
00:11:42.450 --> 00:12:01.320
Terry Wildemann: Congratulations, because that really is a phenomenal, phenomenal accomplishment and you trusted your intuition, you trusted you're wiser, what I call my your wise inner guidance system wake and the people behind you taught those people your bosses and the lawyers and lesson.
61
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:08.340
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And I did never, never hired girl from Manhattan. That's when I talk to you.
62
00:12:08.910 --> 00:12:18.840
Terry Wildemann: I love it, I love it. Well, you know, one of the things that I know about you is done a retelling you know because you're going to prove a way
63
00:12:19.290 --> 00:12:38.190
Terry Wildemann: Of doing things and I love the story of your second business. It's a brilliant story and the day you opened your door was black Monday, October 1987. It was the day the stock market crashed.
64
00:12:38.310 --> 00:12:38.610
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Right.
65
00:12:38.670 --> 00:12:52.980
Terry Wildemann: We lost everything you made from the sale of your first business right and your target market for this next business had just lost all of their money to and all the odds, basically we're against you again.
66
00:12:53.880 --> 00:13:01.560
Terry Wildemann: You know, if you follow your gut. Don't tell me now. That's why I love you so much, because we had the same philosophy.
67
00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:10.140
Terry Wildemann: Right. One month later, your new business was up flourishing run running and you were making thousands a week.
68
00:13:10.530 --> 00:13:21.570
Terry Wildemann: Yeah, how did you do it, especially appropriate message during this very challenging episode in humanity.
69
00:13:21.810 --> 00:13:42.300
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Exactly right. Exactly right. So please, you guys, everybody. Listen to this, because it was so simple and I made a lot of money from the sale of my first business and got a phone call on that day as I was hanging my shingle out my door right
70
00:13:43.410 --> 00:13:47.430
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Sorry, Wendy. I don't have to tell you this, your account is drained.
71
00:13:52.710 --> 00:13:56.760
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And then I of course quick turned on TV found out what was going on.
72
00:13:57.780 --> 00:14:04.440
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And in that moment. Again, I had a decision to make. But I REMEMBERED WHAT IT HAPPENED AT THE SENATE.
73
00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:12.660
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And I knew that the reason we had done so well in that first business which we had done really well.
74
00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:34.800
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Was because I had made a decision to focus on impact. And so, standing there with all of these people hanging out windows, frankly, and like really upset, was I asked one question Terry, the simple questions. Okay, fine. Who needs me the most today.
75
00:14:37.140 --> 00:14:46.830
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And that's the question we all have to answer right now. Who needs me the most today. For me, the answer was stockbrokers
76
00:14:47.370 --> 00:15:02.520
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: I mean, boo more than anyone else in that moment was carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders were all of these brokers who were having to call their clients just like mine had just called me and said, You're broke
77
00:15:04.350 --> 00:15:12.600
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Have fun. I don't know what to tell you. Right, so I just went downtown and I started hopping from brokerage firm to brokerage firm to brokerage firm.
78
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:23.370
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Offering my services being there for them taking care of them and offering free stress management seminars free whatever I could give them seminars.
79
00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:37.800
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And little by little, all of a sudden they all started to turn around their profits went through the roof during the worst, worst crisis since the Great Depression at the time.
80
00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:47.160
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And it was all because I was teaching them what I had done in my first business all the strategies we had created and made up along the way.
81
00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:58.530
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Putting people first and making sure that we make a difference. The question that we all need to be asking right now is, who needs me the most today and then go do something about it.
82
00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:04.590
Terry Wildemann: That is so simple, so powerful and so bring
83
00:16:06.630 --> 00:16:10.890
Terry Wildemann: So, and that's really what it is simple and powerful.
84
00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:22.860
Terry Wildemann: We do go into fear don't mean when in challenging times we go into fear. How do I make money, how am I going to feed my family. How am I going to put food on the table. My business just just crashed. What am I going to do
85
00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:43.740
Terry Wildemann: You know, so we we live in that fear and as you know and I know because we you know we both teach stress management, it's it builds. If you don't shift and you get consumed in the fear, however, so many of us are we lose our power we give our power away to fear.
86
00:16:45.630 --> 00:17:00.840
Terry Wildemann: And if we choose. And that's a big word there to shift and pivot and look for blue sky out of service magic happens. And that's what you just proved
87
00:17:02.010 --> 00:17:08.100
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Yeah, you know what, what I learned is that there is tremendous power in our fear.
88
00:17:09.390 --> 00:17:13.980
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And the secret for me has been to use it effectively.
89
00:17:14.430 --> 00:17:18.810
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So rather than try and make myself, stop being scared.
90
00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:26.220
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: I say, Okay, fine. I'm going to take this power that I feel I mean, my gosh, there's a whole lot of energy. Right.
91
00:17:26.790 --> 00:17:35.580
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And say how can I use this for good. How can I help someone using all this energy that's generated in my body because I'm like, so you know
92
00:17:36.210 --> 00:17:52.830
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And pull them all of a sudden, it's a complete realignment of all that energy that ultimately becomes powerful forward movement that makes a massive difference in the world in whatever way is necessary at that time.
93
00:17:54.990 --> 00:18:08.700
Terry Wildemann: And in doing that, you are impacting others in a very powerful way. So you are considered the world's leading authority on impact strategy and and
94
00:18:09.330 --> 00:18:22.890
Terry Wildemann: Ethical influence. And that's something that I know for myself, which is really well, why don't you on the show so much because we share so many of the same values and you know people are tired of hearing about me. They get me to come from somebody else.
95
00:18:24.090 --> 00:18:34.050
Terry Wildemann: Would become talking heads and having you share the same values, it just warms my heart. So I really want to hear from you, Wendy.
96
00:18:35.340 --> 00:18:46.800
Terry Wildemann: What, in your words and your world is impact strategy and how does it thread. How do you thread the needle to connect it to ethical influence
97
00:18:46.920 --> 00:19:07.050
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Right. So that's the perfect question. The, the, the simple truth is that I have never met anybody that doesn't want to make a difference in somebody's life. I mean, this is not new. Right. What is new or at least was for me when I started was, how do you do that in a business setting.
98
00:19:08.520 --> 00:19:20.580
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The I changed a whole tactic in my head that ultimately became the first business which is to look at impact in a slightly different way. You know,
99
00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:29.760
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: To in these days. Everybody uses the word impact, right, whether you're looking at whether or whether you're looking at making a difference impact is is way over us kind of like
100
00:19:29.970 --> 00:19:34.320
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: We got into saying love for everything. And then we forgot what we meant with it right
101
00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:48.150
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So for me, impact is the measurable difference we make in people's lives as the direct result of contact with us with our team with our message with our marketing with our products and our services if
102
00:19:48.630 --> 00:20:00.990
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: In business, every single aspect of what we do, isn't strategically designed to make a measurable difference, then I don't do it.
103
00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:13.650
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And my clients over the years, looked at, frankly, how I had made all this money and my first business so quickly they hired me to make money. They did not hire me to make a difference.
104
00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:20.340
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Right. It's like yours, Terry. They hire you. Because they want their business to get better.
105
00:20:20.790 --> 00:20:29.700
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Your strategy, your way of thinking you're connecting people with their energy and their angels. That's your strategy and your tactic.
106
00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:39.390
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: But at the end of the day, most of them first come to you because they want their business to be more successful. So, that was me. Exactly right. Right. So my strategy.
107
00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:47.580
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Was made up because there was no strategy for this. Nobody had ever talked about this back then.
108
00:20:48.090 --> 00:20:59.760
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Which is probably how I came became the world's leading authority because nobody had done this at the end of the day what I was looking for was what does science, social science right
109
00:21:00.390 --> 00:21:11.640
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: sociology, psychology, anthropology and neuro psychology and biology and all of these allergies. Right. What did I learn in grad school, but I can actually use
110
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:18.270
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And I looked at these things every day. And I said, What can we learn from science.
111
00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:43.980
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: About why people do what they do about what moves, some of them to take a certain action and not take another action and can we use that information in a way that actually ethically moves people to let themselves have everything they really want
112
00:21:45.510 --> 00:21:49.020
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And if we can do that consciously
113
00:21:50.190 --> 00:21:56.670
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Consistently and measure it, then people will move themselves to action.
114
00:21:57.750 --> 00:22:13.200
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So the connection between being focused on impact and creating strategies that would ethically move people to action was all about the simple truth that we can't make a difference in people's lives if they're not willing to change.
115
00:22:14.970 --> 00:22:27.750
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So I made a decision that it isn't our job to tell people what they should do or should want right not going, they're not taking that responsibility. I'm not their mom.
116
00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:33.480
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: But if I can find a way to help them get what they want.
117
00:22:34.530 --> 00:22:47.970
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: That's everything. So that's where the path between making an impact and ethically influencing people to take that path come together and everybody wins. As a result,
118
00:22:49.050 --> 00:23:04.560
Terry Wildemann: And it's just phenomenal absolutely phenomenal and I have seen you. I have observed I have witnessed. I have seen a shift and entire room of people
119
00:23:06.150 --> 00:23:13.860
Terry Wildemann: With your phenomenal influence and that's why I love you so much, because you are so blessed and authentic.
120
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.660
Terry Wildemann: And that's the key. Isn't it
121
00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:20.160
Terry Wildemann: It's about being authentic and in integrity with who we are as people.
122
00:23:22.110 --> 00:23:23.250
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: And as professionals.
123
00:23:23.580 --> 00:23:24.780
Terry Wildemann: And as professionals.
124
00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:39.240
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: I think that's something we see a lot is that we may be fully authentic with our friends and family. But then we get into a work environment or professional environment, speaking on stages, zoom, whatever. And the next thing we know we're putting on somebody, we're not
125
00:23:40.410 --> 00:23:40.980
Terry Wildemann: You know,
126
00:23:42.810 --> 00:23:45.540
Terry Wildemann: The imposter syndrome is huge in our industry.
127
00:23:45.960 --> 00:24:11.850
Terry Wildemann: And okay and I find sometimes that the imposter syndrome with some of our colleagues runs really deep because of a lack of integrity and authenticity an authenticity and fear of really tapping into who they are. Instead of who they want to be.
128
00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:20.940
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Yeah yeah and a driving need to capitalize on so many people who need help.
129
00:24:21.780 --> 00:24:32.160
Terry Wildemann: Yes. And that really is a key piece capitalizing on people who need help. So where's the authenticity. Is it coming from here or is it coming from here, because when they
130
00:24:32.790 --> 00:24:36.420
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Actually, I think it's on the other side of their body. But don't get me started.
131
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:40.650
Terry Wildemann: Got it.
132
00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:43.320
Terry Wildemann: Yeah, okay.
133
00:24:45.330 --> 00:24:46.800
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: We'll just leave it at that. I think
134
00:24:47.790 --> 00:24:50.280
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: To say, yeah, it's, it's
135
00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:54.240
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Now I am not happy with a lot of what goes on, as you know,
136
00:24:54.780 --> 00:24:58.860
Terry Wildemann: Yeah, and I feel the same. It's I just see
137
00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:08.880
Terry Wildemann: It's time for those of us who are really called or who are being called into service from the heart and really want to make a difference to rise.
138
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:22.110
Terry Wildemann: Elevate ourselves and be visible in ways we've never been visible before so that we can help those who want our services who, you know, who are we to play small
139
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:29.970
Terry Wildemann: When our skill sets and who we are, we are made to help so many other people
140
00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.220
Terry Wildemann: And
141
00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:33.330
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The day
142
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.650
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: It's been time for really long time.
143
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:49.380
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Yes, people who were, we were playing about just a couple of minutes ago. Don't get to rise. When people like you rise up.
144
00:25:50.460 --> 00:26:11.820
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: So the more that you shine Terry, the less space there is for people who are trying to take advantage of others. So you just keep doing this girl because the more you do, the less empty holes will get filled by people who aren't as ethical as we'd like them to be.
145
00:26:13.350 --> 00:26:14.880
Terry Wildemann: And what a great way
146
00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:22.650
Terry Wildemann: For you to share your closing words, what is the best piece of advice that you have for our audience.
147
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:36.630
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: It's twofold. One of courses in business is to focus on impact and move people to action, because when you do those two things. You get to help the people that most need you.
148
00:26:37.830 --> 00:26:40.800
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: But the personal pieces is deeper
149
00:26:42.540 --> 00:26:44.040
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: One of the things I learned
150
00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:49.110
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The hard way by watching my mom passed away, far too young.
151
00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:55.860
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Is that life is far too short to settle for less than we truly want
152
00:26:57.510 --> 00:27:14.640
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: That's why we need to go up every single morning look in the mirror and just ask ourselves, you know, are you making the impact you want to be making right if you're not making the impact that you want to be making then you're settling
153
00:27:16.830 --> 00:27:28.680
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Bottom line, whether it's go down in the kitchen and make your impact or whether it's go to school or whether it's put yourselves in front of your team and say, Hey, guys.
154
00:27:29.010 --> 00:27:39.840
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: We need to do something more powerful. We need to make a greater difference in this department in this department in this department. Talk to me. How do we do it.
155
00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:47.940
Wendy Lipton-Dibner: Go out there every single day and make an impact and don't settle for less than you truly want in your business or your life.
