Humour Mistake #2

Jimmy — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:23:42 +0000

You have to tell jokes. Bill Cosby is one of the funniest guys I have seen with a great sense of humour. I have never heard him tell a joke. Jokes can be risky and can offend. They are also hard to tell, you have to remember the punch line. Want to re-discover and develop your sense of humour? Tell funny stories and learn to tell stories funny. Stay tuned for #3

1. You have to be funny. Being funny and having a sense of humour share similarities, but they are not the same. Your sense of humour is something that you enjoy for yourself and share with others. Want to re-discover & develop yours? Start by enjoying more of the humour that makes you laugh. Stay tuned for #2 and #3.

What’s so good about a good sense of humor?

I was recently asked this question in a complementary sample coaching session. My answer even surprised me! Simply, the best thing about humor is that it provides a sense of perspective. It gives you the ability to focus on the funny and not always on the fatal. Seeing the lighter side opens you to new possibilities of what can be done.

Self help when you feel self helpless

Your healthy humour can be a great source of help to you in reducing personal tension and providing needed perspective in difficult times. Which reminds me of a time a guy went to a book store and asked the clerk where was the self help section? The clerk replied: if I told you, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose!

Happy Humourous New Year!

I wish all of you my tipsys (I bet you haven’t been called that before) a very happy and humourous new year. My big humor tip for 2012 is to be intentional about improving your sense of humor. Look for laughs in your life and find the funny. Dr. Seuss said it best: “from here to there and there to here, funny things are everywhere.”

Give the gift of Humor

What do you give someone who has everything? Well maybe antibiotics! Why not give them one of the best gifts you can give or get this holiday season – your sense of healthy humor. It is the gift that keeps on giving smiles, delights and laughs. Share with everyone this holiday season your good humour and I don’t mean ice cream!

Laugh Minute Vacation

If you can’t get away for a last minute vacation, why not take a laugh minute vacation! All you need to do is to lose yourself for a few seconds or minutes in laughter. Disengage yourself to re-engage. You will return to your work more focused and with a different perspective. It will feel that you had a mini humor holiday.

High Tech Hi Humour

Jimmy — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 15:12:43 +0000

You have heard high tech high touch. I say high tech hi humour! Healthy humour is a way to instantly emotionally connect with people – clients & co-workers. It makes you more personable. Being personable is the best way to establish trust and credibility. Trust me on this one!

Stand out you don’t have to be a Stand Up!

Jimmy — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:37:10 +0000

You don’t need to be a stand up comedian to make your humour standout. Comedy is the art form of humour, leave this one to the pros. To be more humourous just be more of yourself. Your own natural humour will make you look creative and personable. Begin by being aware of what makes you laugh and what you do or say that makes others laugh with you.

The Laugh Resort

Have you ever felt that you were out of options and at your last resort or stuck on a particular issue? If so, try laughing and see if you can discover a creative option as a result. Laughter loosens the mind and enables you to see the bigger picture. Find a funny in your situation and you will likely enjoy the perspective gained from your stay at the Laugh Resort!
