Laughter
Laughter is a great stress reducer. If you have never read Norman Cousins’ account of his experience of self-healing as described in Anatomy of an Illness, I encourage you to do so. When diagnosed with an incurable illness, he brought a movie projector into his hospital room and watched reel after reel of old classic comedy movies, laughing himself into hysterics. He found he could relieve his otherwise significant pain on a consistent basis through laughter. That practice, along with some other novel therapies, resulted in his healing. He left his prestigious journalistic career and taught on the faculty of a major medical school about the power of the mind and emotions in healing the body of disease.
LEARNING TO HAVE FUN – EVERYDAY!
Even as I write the heading – it feels odd. Surely we don’t need to ‘learn’ how to have fun? Perhaps not. But I do know from the many people I’ve coached, having fun everyday is not something that happens very much. Having fun is often relegated to weekends, special days and holidays – and even some of these days aren’t much fun. This Tip looks at how you can increase the level of fun you have in your life.
Reading Body Language Is A Strategic Communications Tool
Reading body language is a strategic communications tool, which can be a very powerful tool for you and your business. Effective communication involves much more than saying the right words. Your communications are conveyed through emotions and body language and these two elements play a very vital role in getting your message across. As a matter of fact, your body language may often say more than your words because it reveals a lot about what you're feeling and thinking as of the moment. Experience has shown people who are transparent can get themselves in trouble, as there are some obvious ways to determine if people are lying. Knowing how to read a person's emotions based on his or her body language and gestures is very important for effective communications and makes you more effective as a communicator, negotiator and thinker.

Top 12 Proven Tips to Strengthen Your Marketing Muscle

In fact, health professionals point out that until we get to the point of ‘feeling’ our muscles strain, we do not get the full benefits. It is the recovery our muscles make from the extra strain (but not overload) that increases muscle strength. Why do I tell you this? Because it is exactly the same with your marketing muscle.

The Power of a Blank Whiteboard
Unfortunately for many companies, people don't usually respond well to change. Anything but. I wish we could embrace the opportunity to evolve processes and thinking and behaviors - but often we don't. Especially in tough times - when the company environment is probably already tense and constricted. When things get tense, people tend to hang on to what they know, as a touchstone for the status quo - which is known and safe, even if it does mean a downhill slide. Hanging onto 'the way we've always done it' is one of the most common challenges I encounter in my clients.

Slow Down, You Move Too Fast
He stood, gripping the sides of the counter, his fingers white knuckled from the strain. I'd seen my boss, Mr. Burke, stand there countless times before, studying the inventory, looking for just the right item for the customer, but I'd never seen him like this; his face and neck a livid red, his neck muscles strained, beads of sweat on a brow that only moments before had been dry. I heard Allison, his assistant whisper, "Go get Mrs. Burke." Someone scampered away, relieved to escape the tense scene. I stood there frozen, uncertain what was happening, even more uncertain what to do. After all, I was just part-time help, spending a few summer months between college semesters learning about the real world of business.
