2. ON UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ______________________________________________________ Last week, I spent five days with all of my 7 grandchildren at our annual family reunion. A third of the nation's population, 60 million adults, are now grandparents, according to AARP. So what makes a good grandparent? Probably unconditional love. I practice patience with my grandchildren and love them for who they are. A time to bond, a time to just be present and adore life's major miracle. One grandparent puts it this way: "As grandparents, we discover that we can immortalize ourselves by leaving our soul with a child." The Coach thinks . . . we can all be grandparents, biologically or not. Every child needs an older person to be crazy about. ______________________________________________________3. ON THE HUMOR INJECTION Most professional speakers know that it is important to inject a little humor into their presentations to put themselves, as well as the audience, at ease. They may reveal tales of their most embarrassing moments and how they recovered from them. The listeners are then only a step away from their own stories and find themselves bonding with the speaker. Humor relaxes us and helps our retention of information. When a speaker provides a humorous perspective to his/her audience, they are teaching them to manage life's challenges with less stress. The Coach thinks . . . there's nothing like a burst of good- natured laughter between people. _____________________________________________________4. ON DOING LESS AND LISTENING MORE I never learned much about being a good listener while in school. And yet , I have to practice it all the time . . . with friends, family, clients. Here are some tips from Andrew Weiss on deep listening: The Coach has learned . . . that sometimes people just want me to listen and then they essentially heal themselves. ______________________________________________________ 5. ON SPEAKING JITTERS Nervous at the podium? You are not alone. According to The Book of Lists, public speaking is the #1 fear among adults. So here are some tips to take the jitters out of your next presentation:
The Coach sez. . .remember, it is about them, not you! _____________________________________________________6. ON USEFUL WEB SITES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 'This book provides practical and sound advice.
