Priceless: Just for Fun Videos, Resources and More...

Enjoy these just for fun videos and such, all just for fun! This is material I share in my monthly online eNewsletter.  See inspiring videos here.

Everybody Loves Raymond Uses Active Listening

Our theme for the Fall 2019 Newsletter is listening. And with the holiday season almost here, where we'll all be spending more time with our families, we thought you'd enjoy this funny Everybody Loves Raymond video. It shows how seeking to understand, makes a difference, even with the little ones.

People Who Brag About
Their Fitness Routine Online

I shared this video in my weekly Wake Up Eager Wednesday Mind, Body, Spirit Tips, on April 10, 2019. This video by Trey Kennedy is super funny.  Its a comedy routine about people who brag about their fitness and health routines online.   I love to think about about health and fitness, and it's a personal hobby,  BUT - I don't ever want to be this guy.  You have to laugh when you watch this...

The Office - A Fire Drill...

This clip of a fire drill that Dwight (Rainn Wilson's character from the t.v.show The Office) creates, because no one was listening during his training and preparedness class - is terrible AND terribly funny!   The chaos that he creates!   Can you imagine of he was YOUR teammate?  We talk about hiring the right people in the February 2019 newsletter, Don't Hire Claudia.  Check out the video below, get a good laugh and then go over and get the interview questions so that you hire the best!

We All Have Different Strengths!

The theme for in our October 2018 Newsletter is that Waking Up Eager IS possible and should be/could be  - the new normal for you and your team.  We believe that waking up with dread and loathing on a Monday morning does not have to be normal, and that one foundational action you can take is to make sure everyone is using their strengths on the job, every day.  

In this adorable video we see twins with very different communication style strengths: one who's more of a Promoter and Influencer, and one who is Thoughtful and Conscientious.

Hopefully as they grow older they will embrace their individual strengths and align them with satisfying and meaningful work to create Wake Up Eager days and a Wake Up Eager Life!

Make Chores Fun...

The theme for in our July 2018 Newsletter and our most recent podcasts Episodes 44 and 45 are about Getting New Hires to Stay. 

This is video is so silly - but I thought having some fun at work - was not a bad idea. (See 32 ideas and tips for Getting New Hires to Stay, here.)  If you like music with a beat and could use a moment to smile and tap your toes, watch this guy, Trey Kennedy - with over 1 million fans, make chores fun!  Not sure how clean he's getting every thing - but he is doing it with style and pizzazz!

It's more than okay to make your on boarding process fun and interesting - Winston Churchill said, “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught”. Capture their attention, get them involved, make it interesting... add a little fun in there!

Kids Guide to Confidence

The theme in our June 2018 Newsletter and in this article is about the importance of role confidence for success and happiness, and how to improve it.  In this sweet video kids remind us of the power of confidence in life.  It's something simple and profound, that we could forget sometimes.

Here's One Way to Influence Others...

There's also an "It" factor in leadership, sometimes referred to as gravitas, charisma, influence, being able to command a room and executive presence.  As a leader do you have these qualities? Do you have the "It" factor? How do you know, and is it something you can develop?  Until I became certified in the Executive Presence Index Survey tool,  the only validated and research-based Executive Presence model available, I knew that developing presence was possible, but the journey to it - was not as clear as it is with this validated tool and model. Here's our definition of Executive Presence: The qualities of a leader - as see through the eyes of others - that engage, inspire, align and move people to act.

If you do have Executive Presence - you are able to influence others to act.  Here's how Terry Tate does it. Not sure it would work for very long, but it IS entertaining to watch!

Animals Sing 12 Days of Christmas

Watch these sweet animals sing: The 12 Days of Christmas.  If after watching this you're find yourself thinking about adopting a pet for Christmas, and you live in the Atlanta, Georgia area, consider visiting PAWS Atlanta.  (Dogs available for adoption and cats available for adoption.) I'm on the Board of this wonderful organization and some of my business proceeds go to PAWS. They've been doing great work for 50 years, and they are one of the only no kill animal shelters in the area.  They take great care of our furry friends.   Watch this video and I'll know you'll be smiling...

Driving With Someone Who's Not Clear About What She Wants...

In my October 2015 newsletter article I share how knowing my top strengths and motivators has helped me be clear about what I want and why I want it.  

This funny video - titled: Driving With Women is funny. I like it because it shows how hard it is  to get what you want when you don't even know what you want.  And while this video highlights women's indecisiveness in the car (I do do the "I'll eat anything" scenario to my husband) men get indecisive around what they want, too!   Don't take the female slant too seriously and you'll be laughing - enjoy! 

Jeff Gordon Pranks Car Salesman

We have many conversations about cars and racing at my house. Because of that - I tend to use car analogies and acronyms throughout my work.

So, I thought that since we're 'car crazy' at my house, the topic this month is about dashboards and NASCAR Driver Jeff Gordon is retiring this year, I would share this fun video of Gordon pulling a prank on a car salesman.

Sassy Six Year Old Dance Video Goes Viral

In Podcast Episode #11 the Executive Director of the Women's Leadership Center at KSU, Erin Wolf, shares internal barriers that hold women leaders back, such as: Self Doubt/Ambition Gap; Lack of Self-Promotion; The Imposter Syndrome ("I don't belong.") and Risk Aversion. Erin tells us that these barriers are NOT inherent, are mostly influenced by the way we are raised and can be UNLEARNED.

Watch this short and fun video that went viral of a sassy six year old dancing to Aretha Franklin's RESPECT.  Alright, I'll take some of that sassy in my life, what about you?

It's Not About the Nail

The themes for the May 2015 and August 2016 newsletters was around how important getting feedback is to growth and improvement as a leader and how important acknowledgement and support is to others. That is why being a good listener is so important to leaders.

When you are a good listener you tune into the other person's pain and demonstrate that you care before you give advice or feedback. This video clip is a funny way to make that point.  It's not always about the good advice (nail), first you must show that you care.

What to Do When It's Really Cold Outside...

This Just for Fun video goes with my February 2015 newsletter.  At the time of pulling it together  my hometown, Atlanta, Georgia, is getting Winter Weather Advisory Warnings. It's been a cold and snowy season all over the United States.

According to the 2015 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac: the winter of 2014–15 will see below-normal temperatures for about three-quarters of the nation. A large zone of very cold temperatures will be found from east of the Continental Divide east to the Appalachians. The most frigid temperatures will be found from the Northern Plains into the Great Lakes. (Yep, they were right!)

In honor of all the cold and snow - and with appreciation for someone who's looking at how to make the best of what is - here's a cool video of a six things to do when it's really cold outside.  The first one made me catch my breathe! All ideas are cool... Enjoy!

Great Teamwork - Marching Together to Make Magic

In this month's newsletter article I share how hard it was to work with co-worker Claudia because of her poor time and self management skills.  Her lack of strength in this area drove us all crazy at times, even though we liked her as a person.  

I couldn't help but watch this cool marching band and imagine Claudia there, marching in the wrong direction or coming in late, trying to catch up.   Great fun to see this team work together to make magic! Watch and enjoy:

If you want your team to have this kind of marching precision on the job, in addition to lots of hard work, you have to make sure you have the right people on the team. 

Make sure that everyone you hire and promote has strong time and self management skills by using the interview questions provided in this article, here.

This is NOT Your Superior Performer...

In my November 2013 newsletter I write about how to hire the best and six-time NASCAR Champion Jimmy Johnson.   The best way to determine if someone has the right stuff is to look for the personal skills needed on the job.
