Humor Mistake #3
February 8th, 2012 
Jimmy You can’t develop or improve a sense of humour. We are all born with one this is why we laughed as infants. The problem is that as we grew up we were taught to grim up and we became over serious. Humour is a skill that can be learned. Want to re-discover and develop yours? Be more playful and have a childlike attitude.

Tell funny stories and learn to tell stories funny. Stay tuned for #3

What’s so good about a good sense of humor?
January 17th, 2012 Jimmy 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
January 11th, 2012 Jimmy 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!

Laugh Minute Vacation
December 14th, 2011 Jimmy 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.

Stand out you don’t have to be a Stand Up!
November 30th, 2011 Jimmy 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.
