The L.I.F.E. Approach to Positive Humor
The L.I.F.E. Approach to Positive Humor
Great are the rewards a speaker experiences and so are the stresses. L.I.F .E. and my new book Practice Safe Stress are all about improving our lives by minimizing the stress that interferes with our day-to-day living. The L.I.F.E. Approach reminds us, as Lilly Tomlin points out that, "LAUGHTER improves the shelf life of our sanity." Indeed it does! The essence and philosophy behind L.I.F .E. is in How we generate LAUGHTER and tap into our sense of humor.
"I" stands for INTROSPECTION. It is vital for each of us to look inside and examine the situations that typically cause us stress. While we are "in there" we can draw upon other experiences to help us find some humor to dissipate the stress.
The FIVE MINUTE FUN FLING is perhaps the most important of the stress-lessening exercises I prescribe. The Five Minute Fun Fling is a brief shot of humor we give ourselves each day to correct our attitude and perception of stress, to generate the creativity we need to resolve most any stressful situation.
"E" is the ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM AND ENJOYMENT that will evolve by adopting the L.I.F .E. Approach to improve your life.
Practice Safe Stress explores meaningful anecdotes and simple, fun techniques to find and use your inner sense of humor to minimize day-to-day stress.

Going the extra mile is a day-to-day issue for us as speakers. In writing and preparing our presentations we must go that extra mile to give our audiences what they deserve and give meeting planners what they demand. Making travel arrangements, marketing our products and services, writing books and articles, re-writing books and articles (and speeches, and marketing materials and introductions, bios, proposals and business plans) all require that "extra mile effort, too. You see, where we are today and where we' d like to be, is usually an extra mile further than we anticipate.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
