Share Great With Words, Not So Good With People Have you noticed how some people are great at speaking but not so good at communicating? That is, they seem to have an adequate vocabulary and more-than-adequate speaking skills but for some reason (or reasons) they just don’t communicate effectively with others. They talk a lot [...]
Communication
Share Pants on Fire Hi Guys. I’ve written about lying before but not in any great detail. Some researchers suggest that the average person lies three times every ten minutes in conversation but for all we know, that could be a lie. I find it a fascinating subject to explore mostly because so few people are [...]
Share Am Not, You Are Of course, today’s post is all in the name of fun so before anyone gets precious, defensive or hurt… don’t. If we can’t take the piss from time to time, then we’re all taking life and ourselves too seriously. After all, I’m almost a man myself. And what was the [...]
Share Life: A Series of Decisions Among other things, it seems to me that life is largely a series of decisions. Big and small. Important and not-so-important. Painful and painless. Personal and professional. Monumental and incidental. Necessary and optional. Informed and ignorant. Selfless and selfish. Courageous and cowardly. And so on. Yep, it’s impossible to [...]
Share Hi Guys. Yesterday I received a great email from a bloke named Cam. Among other things, Cam thanked me for being his unreasonable friend. You’re welcome Cam. Unreasonable friend? Dude, Your Breath Stinks I immediately loved that term. Cam shared with me that “an unreasonable friend is someone who will tell you that your breath [...]
Share A Seven Out of Ten Way back in the early nineties, I gave a presentation at a conference for a large company. For me, it was a relatively straight-forward gig of the health-fitness-motivation variety. Up to that point in time, it was one of the largest audiences I had spoken to – about five [...]
Share Hi Team. I hope this finds you well and inappropriately happy. So happy, you’re annoying everyone around you. There will be no personal development download today but rather, a few shared thoughts from me. You Okay Harps? Over the last few weeks, I’ve received a few emails from people enquiring about the ‘tone’ of [...]
Share Hi guys. It’s soft, gentle, warm, kind… CJ here. I’m glad you’re still here after Monday’s post with Captain Blunt. Don’t worry; I will always leave the tough love posts to Bicep Boy. Er, man. If you have ever been to school, then today’s post is for you. Enjoy your week. Who’s Procrastinating? It’s [...]
Share Develop a What? Four (and a bit) years ago, I didn’t know what a blog was. I may have thought it was some kind of unfortunate or embarrassing accident. When Johnnie (my business partner and chief web-bitch) first floated and explained the idea of building a site such as this, I told him I [...]
Share Over-Talking… Not Cool Here at me-dot-com, we’ve already explored the close-talker and the over-thinker in previous posts. So, off the back of a mildly-exhausting recent social encounter of mine (and as a supplement to one of CJ’s posts), today I thought we’d take a further look at the over-talker: he or she of the excessive [...]
