They Who Laugh, Last

I just returned from a week in beautiful St. Lucia. Now back to the ice and snow. While I did love the tropics it was difficult to get into the Christmas spirit sitting under a palm tree sweating profusely.

Taming the Toxic People in Your Life

In my travels across North America speaking on motivation and human potential I hear the same question asked repeatedly, " How can I become more assertive?" There is no doubt about it, there are people in our lives who are harmful to our health and we don't like it one bit.

I read recently that toxic people make up about ten percent of the population and cause over 50 percent of all relational damage. For our own well-being and the well-being of those we care about we must learn how to cope with these toxic people at home, at work and at play.

I wrote the following report in response to the question, "How can I learn to cope with the difficult people in my life?" From the reaction I have had to this report it is proving helpful. I do want to say emphatically that what you read here won't do a thing to improve your situation unless you have the courage to use the suggestions given. Go for it! You're worth the effort.

TOXIC PEOPLE.........

rob us of our dignity.

destroy our self confidence.

increase our stress levels.

destroy our morale.

erode our self esteem.

foster negativity.

decrease productivity.

make life hellish.

are abusive.

are toxic because they can get away with it and it works for them.

HOW TO DEAL WITH TOXIC PEOPLE

Remember that you can't change toxic people, but you can learn to cope with them. Here are some effective strategies to try.

* Always stand at eye level with the person you are confronting. Never have them standing over you looking down.

* Respect the toxic person and always expect respect in return. Settle for nothing less.

* Remain calm.

* Listen attentively.

* Don't argue or interrupt, just listen.

* Don't accuse or judge, just state how you feel.

* If the toxic person tries to verbally bully you, just say, " I don't allow people to treat me this way." Then slowly and calmly walk away.

* When someone is being toxic to you here is a powerful response and one that is easy to use because you don't have to say a word. In the midst of a toxic attack just PAUSE....LOOK AT THE PERSON, WITHOUT EMOTION......TURN AND WALK AWAY. It works!

* Anger is sometimes a valid response.

* If all else fails you might be left with only one option; to separate yourself from the toxic person in your life.

YOU DON'T EXIST TO BE SOMEONE'S PERSONAL GARBAGE DUMP.

The Transforming Power of Stories

As many of you know I am a professional speaker and committed storyteller. I doesn't matter who your audience is or how old they are they'll love you if you tell them stories.

You could be in a bar or at a house party telling a humorous or profound story, the fact is always the same... people love to tell and be told stories.

Notice that I stressed the words tell and told when referring to how stories are delivered. I did not use the word read. Anyone can read a story ( some better than others) but not everyone can tell a great story.

When you tell a story you make it your own. You can add or subtract details and add texture and suspense with your voice, gestures and facial expressions. In short you become an actor in your own drama and if you really know what you're doing you can have the audience in the palm of your hand in no time.

It is important to remember that we human beings have an insatiable appetite for stories. From the time we were children when we constantly asked our parents to,
"Tell me a story" until the present time nothing has changed. We love to listen to and tell stories.

Life is filled with experiences and when we share these experiences we are telling stories. When we listen to the experiences of others we are sharing their stories. Can you imagine life without stories? What would we talk about?

To validate this human hunger for stories all you have to do is observe what happens when you meet an old friend you haven't seen for some time. The first thing you want to do is find out what they've been up to. This is a request to be told stories.

This natural hunger for stories provides speakers, teachers, managers, parents and friends and with a powerful magnetic tool to connect with and hold peoples' interest and attention.

Stories inform, entertain and grab peoples' attention. Use them often and effectively and watch people come alive in your presence.

5 Effective Ways to Develop Your Sense of Humor

Humor has long been considered one of the most effective tools to judge the quality of any relationship. If there is laughter present you can be sure the relationship is a healthy one. When the laughter ceases the relationship is on the down slide.

If you want to have more fulfilling relationships at home and at work you might want to consider sharpening your sense of humor as a great place to start.
Here are five ways to develop your sense of humor and improve your relationships in the process.

1. Begin to cultivate an atmosphere of humor and laughter in your relationships by focussing on the funny things in life and enjoying the laughter they evoke. Soon you will be seeing humor all over and enjoying it fully.

2. If you don 't laugh as much as you used to and want to correct the situation start associating with humorous, fun loving people and avoid the downers.

3. Learn to laugh at yourself. If you don't you leave the job to others. So many people are unable to laugh at themselves because of their own insecurities and fears. We are afraid to look foolish in the eyes of others and appear to be incompetent. It is important to realize that we all make mistakes and when we do a good laugh makes the mistake seem trivial and human.

4. Collect cartoons and jokes and put them on display on the fridge or the bulletin board for all to see and enjoy. Make sure to avoid racist, sexist or filthy humor. There is plenty of good clean humor to go around without resorting to these. Remember that there is a difference between dirty and earthy humor. I personally like earthy humor. I don't appreciate dirty material.

5. Use humor to neutralize conflict in your relationships. When things get tense use self deprecating humor to lighten things up. I remember one evening having an argument with my wife, Carol. In the heat of the moment she said something totally out of character. She said something hurtful. In my surprise I looked at her and said, " Carol, when you say things like that you stoop to my level." She started to laugh and so did I. It wasn't long before things were back to normal.

Remember that a sense of humor is learned, not inherited. You can sharpen your sense of humor if you really want to. When you do, you will find that your relationships become richer and more rewarding and that people find you more attractive and fun to be with. This alone makes improving your sense of humor worth the effort.

Ten Effective Self Motivating Tips

No one can motivate anyone to do anything. All a person can do for another is provide them with incentives to motivate themselves. Here are ten very effective strategies to help you get up and get moving toward actualizing your enormous, untapped potential.


Be willing to leave your comfort zone. The greatest barrier to achieving your potential is your comfort zone. Great things happen when you make friends with your discomfort zone.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Wisdom helps us avoid making mistakes and comes from making a million of them.

Don't indulge in self-limiting thinking. Think empowering, expansive thoughts.
Choose to be happy. Happy people are easily motivated. Happiness is your birthright so don't settle for anything else.

Spend at least one hour a day in self-development. Read good books or listen to inspiring tapes. Driving to and from work provides an excellent opportunity to listen to self-improvement tapes.

Train yourself to finish what you start. So many of us become scattered as we try to accomplish a task. Finish one task before you begin another.

Live fully in the present moment. When you live in the past or the future you aren't able to make things happen in the present.

Commit yourself to joy. C.S. Lewis once said, " Joy is the serious business of heaven."

Never quit when you experience a setback or frustration. Success could be just around the corner.

Dare to dream big dreams. If there is anything to the law of expectation then we are moving in the direction of our dreams, goals and expectations.

The real tragedy in life is not in how much we suffer, but rather in how much we miss, so don't miss a thing.

Charles Dubois once said, " We must be prepared, at any moment, to sacrifice who we are for who we are capable of becoming."

The Many Benefits of Being Able to Speak Confidently, Without Fear

Public speaking builds confidence. When you experience the thrill of holding an audience in the palm of your hand and receive their appreciative applause your confidence soars.


Public speaking boosts your self esteem. When you see the audience relate to you as someone who really knows what you are talking about your self esteem increases. And we all can use an increase in self esteem.


People start looking at you in a more positive way. Even if you never use your public speaking skills in giving formal presentations, people will notice that you are more articulate and confident in expressing an opinion or sharing an insight. You will discover that they begin looking to you for advice and opinions on many issues.


It helps you become a more organized thinker. Planning, writing and delivering a well researched , well organized presentation has an overflow effect in other areas of your life. You begin to plan and organize your thoughts more effectively. This is especially helpful in your career or business. When your manager or supervisor asks your opinion on some work- related issue you are better able to express your ideas in a clear, concise and well organized manner.


Public speaking begins to alter your self perception. As you begin to use the skills involved in public speaking you will notice that you begin to start talking to yourself in a more positive way. You begin to see yourself as capable and confident.


By accepting the challenge to speak in public you begin to explore and actualize your own potential. Many of us go through life not realizing how much we are capable of achieving. Public speaking is an effective tool in the process of self discovery.


Public speaking gives you the courage to break out of your comfort zone. I believe that the comfort zone is the enemy of human growth. When we are too comfortable where we are we tend to become stagnant. Speaking in public pushes us out of the comfort zone and reveals to us our enormous capabilities.

If you feel compelled to share your expertise or message with others do so. Start slowly and start small but start. The benefits and rewards are tremendous.

Funny oneliners

I really like these.

Birds of a feather flock together . . . .and then shit on your car. (Sorry for the crude word but poop wouldn't have been as funny)

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.

A Great Example of Aging With Humor

I am leaving in about 30 minutes for a talk to 600 teachers in New Brunswick but before I go I just have to share this with you.

Carol and I received this email this morning from a friend whose Mother is in a nursing home. She is 91 and very earthy,funny and sharp. I have three stories about this lady that I use in my talks with huge response. Now I have another. Here it is.


" We are having a party for my mother on May 15th as she will be turning 91 on the 17th. I hope she behaves at her birthday party. The social director where my mother lives told me she had everyone laughing at one of their group memory games. They were looking for words that are spelled & sound the same but mean something different. They gave some examples and then asked for some suggestions. My mother suggested the word "screw"."

If you feel abused by toxic people at home, work and play why not check it out? You don't exist to be anyone's personal dormat.

When You Have an 'I Hate My Job' Day

THIS ITEM WAS SENT TO ME BY ONE OF MY READERS. I loved it.

When you have an 'I Hate My Job day'
[Even if you're retired, you sometimes have those days]

Try this out:

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy
and go to the thermometer section and purchase a
rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson.

Be very sure you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains
and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your
favorite chair.
Open the package and remove the thermometer.
Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so
that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins.

Take out the literature from the box
and read it carefully.
You will notice that in small print there is a
statement: "Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson &
Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized."
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five
times,' I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer
quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.'

HAVE A NICE DAY; AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE
ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ARSE THAN
YOURS!
..Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your
face and laughter in your heart....
Then you are just an old sour person;

Stressed Out Moms




" Show me an unhurried woman and I'll show you a man."

I don't know who said this but it's true. Isn't it?

Most of the people in my audiences are women/moms and they have made it perfectly clear that they needed something addressed to them and their stresses. Since I speak on " The Hurried Woman's Syndrome" I thought I could do something for them. Even though I am a man I can and do appreciate the fact that women/moms are stetched and scattered beyong what is reasonable... AND IT'S NOT HEALTHY!

How to Be Happy in an Unhappy World

We all want to be happy but so many of us aren't. Brian Tracey once wrote that happiness and peace of mind are the most important objectives we can pursue in life.

When I was a young man I wasn't happy and wanted to do something about it. I wanted happiness and was willing to do whatever it took to a achieve it. I read extensively and applied what I learned. In a very short time I reached my goal. I went from down in the dumps to the heights of delight.

My Journey formed the basis of a very popular audio CD I produced called Live, Laugh, Love and Be Happy ( Humor and Attitude in the Quest for Happiness.

Four Quotations that motivated me to get off my buns and choose to be happy.

* Your life has an expiration date.

* Everyone dies but few really live.

* The tragedy in life isn't found in how much we suffer but in how much we fail to enjoy.

* Life is a mystery to be lived and enjoyed not a problem to be endured and tolerated.


* Happiness is a proactive choice.

* Happiness comes from loving people and using things not from loving things and using people.

The Magic of the Night Sky

I love the night sky. There is something comforting, mysterious and hopeful about standing under a canopy of swirling stars. Each summer I go camping alone in Canada’s beautiful north land to satisfy a hunger for solitude, wilderness and the night sky. Away from city lights there is nothing more awe inspiring than a star studded sky in the stillness of the wilderness.

I usually set up camp beside a lonely northern lake providing me with a long horizon and an uninterrupted view of the heavens. As darkness approaches I begin to sense an overwhelming closeness to the mysteries of the universe and a strong connection to the source of all that is. I become aware of an alternate rhythm to life - a rhythm which is so easily lost amidst the frenetic pace of contemporary existence. Embraced by darkness, with stars too numerous to count and comforted by the gentle lapping of the waves I begin to realize how much I miss, living in a city with its incessant, invasive brightness. It is as if I am rediscovering an enormous part of a lost spiritual heritage.

When sleep begins to engulf me and my eyes start to close, I reluctantly move toward my camper not wanting to miss a moment of this celestial display but realizing that I can’t resist the call to slumber any longer. In the warmth of my sleeping bag I let the silence and stillness lull me to sleep with the immortal words of Sophocles gently echoing across the centuries, “ Mortal I know I am, short lived, yet whenever I stand beneath a multitude of swirling stars I no longer tread this earth, but rise to feast with God and enjoy the food of the immortals.” And so to sleep.

If You Fear Speaking in Public More Than Death

Yep, it's the truth, people fear speaking in front of others more than they do death. This is so sad because the research shows that people who speak well and confidently get ahead faster than those who don't.

If you are one of the multitudes who dread public speaking then you must get a copy of my latest audio CD " The Art of Fearless Speaking" I will pay shipping and handling. Check it out here.
