June 2010 Summer Seminar & Professional Development Meeting - June 8, 2010, Jax Cafe'
 Humor is a Tool, Have You Sharpened Yours? presented by: Stevie Ray
The ability to create laughter can close a deal, seal a relationship, or position a leader. The act of laughter reduces stress, improves information retention, and smooths communication. In fact, in a nationwide study it was discovered that great managers make their employees laugh three times more than average managers.

 THE UN-COMFORT ZONE with Robert Wilson
The Examined Life
"Hola!"
"Hola ¿Qué tal?"
"Bien. ¿ y tu?"
Paul and I were sixteen years old and had taken high school Spanish for a year. We called each other every night on the phone and spoke to each other in our new language. More than anything we wanted to test our skill with a real Spanish speaking person, but we did not know any. Then we got the idea to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant. For two boys who had never dined out without their parents, this was a big adventure. We were so motivated that when we made reservations, we asked to be seated with a waiter who could not speak English.
