2. ON HUGGING ______________________________________________________ Hugging is healthy: It helps the body's immunity system, it keeps you healthier, it eases depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is all natural and organic-just 100% wholesome. No batteries to wear out, no periodic checkups, low energy consumption, high energy yield, inflation-proof, non-fattening, no monthly payments, non-taxable and non-polluting. The Coach believes. . . that hugging is a fully returnable investment! ______________________________________________________3. ON THE BULLY BOSS Bullies are controlling persons who come in several varieties. The Workplace Bullying & Trauma Institute in Bellingham, Washington compiled this "typology" based on interviews. The Snake- most common type of bully, a Jekyll and Hyde who trashes you behind your back while smiling to your face. The Screamer- A fist-pounder who thrives on public displays of rage. Less common. The Nitpicker- Uses insinuation and insult to chip away at an employee's confidence. The Gatekeeper- cold and controlling, plays favorite, letting some workers succeed and cutting others off from resources needed for the job. The Coach asks . . . is there a bully in your office? _____________________________________________________4. ON GARRISON KEILLOR Do you Garrison Keillor fans notice that he never appears to invent or imagine a story? He just dredges it up from the depths of his collective memory. He mixes accurate expression with a generous dose of humor. The lesson here for the public speaker is that you can deliver through your voice what the page can not convey. Let your "mix" include an effortless blend of humor and poignancy, gentle insights, keen observations and above all, bring a sense of truth to all of your presentations. The Coach sez. . . be vulnerable, share your idiosyncrasies and mishaps. That's how you connect with your audience. ______________________________________________________ 5. ON THE POWER OF PLAY With the advent of summer, many parents/grandparents ask, "What can I buy for my child?" How can I keep my child busy? As a grandparent, I find these words to be my best gateway to connect with my grandchildren. (Works with grown up people also) I tried to reach the child from words; The Coach quotes Plato . . . "you can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." _____________________________________________________6.
