on the business side of health care – from finance to marketing to business planning,” Michael said. “I also minored in psychology, and that provided me with the ability to better understand people and what they are going through and to communicate with people.” Michael and Linda met in the fall of 1968. “I guess you would say he observed my silliness with a friend on the way back to Dimmitt Hall after a theatre production,” Linda said. “He called me the next day, and two and one-half years later, we were married at the end of our junior year.” Michael and Linda were both actively involved in Morningside’s Greek system, Michael as a Delta Sigma Phi and Linda as an Alpha Delta Pi. As a Delta Sig, Michael developed a friendship with the late Paul Splittorff 1969, who went on to post-Morningside fame as a longtime Major League Baseball pitcher with the Kansas City Royals. “He was my pledge dad in Delta Sig and the one who encouraged me to try out for the swim team,” Michael said. “He was a great advisor to me my freshman year. He held me accountable as far as making sure I went to class and had good grades, and he also opened my eyes in introducing me to people on campus.” Both Michael and Linda said the campus dances and Greek events were among their favorite activities as students. “The weekend dances were held in the cafeteria and were something that Linda and I enjoyed doing on a regular basis,” Michael said. “I also have great memories of being a part of the Delta Sigs and the camaraderie of that group of individuals,” he said. “I still communicate with many of them even though we live in all different parts of the country.” “We had great theatre productions and music concerts to see when we were there,” Linda said. “Attending football and basketball games, as well as Greek events, also provided a full calendar of social activities. My ADPi sisters are still close treasured friends and we meet frequently across the country for reunions.”

The McNaughton File Graduation Year: 1991 Major: Business Current Residence: San Diego, Calif. Current Occupation: President, Elite Concepts Consulting

From being a key employee during the transformation of Gateway Computers from a small family business into an $11 billion international giant, to becoming president of a major consulting firm and a frequent opening act for renowned motivational speaker Tony Robbins, you might say Gene McNaughton is at the top of his profession. But back when he was a sophomore at Morningside, McNaughton felt like he was near rock bottom. “When I started at Morningside, I really didn’t know what I wanted to major in,” McNaughton said. “I was thinking I might want to be an engineer, and I quickly got into some courses that were way over my head. I was taking classes like calculus and computer programming – stuff that was just out of my league. It was hard work for me just to get an acceptable grade in those classes.” Enter William Steinman, associate professor of mathematical sciences, to steer McNaughton on the right track. “Steinman taught me a really important lesson as I was failing his computer programming class,” McNaughton said. “He told me the real key to success is to find something that fits your interest and is also something that you can get passionate about. If you can find what fits your natural abilities, the rest will come easy to you.” For McNaughton, that something was the business department. There he was guided by Dr. Pam Mickelson and Dr. Doug Livermore. “At that time, they saw more in me than I saw in myself and motivated me to step up with my education,” McNaughton said.

with Gene McNaughton By Dave Rebstock

McNaughton went on to graduate from Morningside with a degree in business along with a minor in mass communication. He said he also benefitted greatly from courses outside of his core disciplines. “At a private liberal arts school like Morningside, you have to take a lot of courses that you don’t think will impact you down the road,” he said. “At the time I didn’t think it was necessary to take classes like history, philosophy or the sciences, but over time I’ve found they were some of the most important lessons that really helped me with my career long term.” McNaughton attributes his success to his commitment to life-long learning and to studying and learning from experts in his field. That meant studying the works of individuals such as self-improvement specialist Dale Carnegie, personal success author Napoleon Hill, and self-help author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins. “It was 2004. I had left Gateway, and was trying to decide what I wanted to do in my life and career,” he said. “I decided I wanted to go to work for Tony Robbins because I was a huge fan of his work. I’m not exaggerating when I say that a week later I received a call from one of his executive recruiters. They reached out to me, and I was blown away by that. “I met with Tony, went to an event, and they hired me on the spot,” McNaughton said. “Tony asked me about my two-year goals in working with him. My answer was to break every sales record in his company, which had 11 divisions in multiple countries, and that I wanted to be his opening act. He just kind of chuckled and said, ‘Nobody has ever done that before, but I like the fact that you think big.’ Two years later to the day, I opened for him in front of 3,500 people in Colorado. Just another example of the power of goal setting.” McNaughton said he has now opened for Robbins in 10 different countries in front of crowds ranging from 2,000 to 15,000. “The foundational learning I received at Morningside made a significant impact to help me achieve what once was just a dream,” McNaughton said.
