Laugh, Would Ya?

I recently sent this to my clients and I know you can leverage the message.


Are We Having Fun Yet?

Are you having FUN at work OR are you taking yourself way too seriously? When was the last time you laughed uproariously with your coworkers and just let down your guard?

Don’t get me wrong – your work at XXXX's is very important. You’re helping people create and sustain their dream of driving a luxury car. But you’re not dealing with dying babies or terminal patients so what made you think you couldn’t have fun while selling your time doing what you love?

Today, take a minute and share a laugh with someone. Laugh at yourself and lose the heaviness, the unbearable burden of ruminating about what-if’s that you can’t even control. Just know that everything will always be OK, no matter what.

Today, be deliberate about creating some levity at work. Smile. Laugh. Play. Laugh out loud and watch how much more energized and productive you can be.

Thinking of you and smiling,

Cell Phone Karma - It's Real

WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU DO BETTER

Ever feel like people don’t listen to you?

Well, if you really want to be heard, start by actively listening.

Put your cell phone down and be 100% present with whoever is in front of you.

If you don’t heed this advice, you run the risk of looking as asinine as the buffoons in these ads.

Make a difference with your actions today. Show them you care by giving people your UNDIVIDED ATTENTION and watch the impact you can have.

Make it remarkable. Make it count!

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong.

Because someday you will have been all of these.”
