Trust Me On This
When I couldn’t get info about Alice Cooper, it was because I didn’t trust the person I was asking. And in turn, he didn’t trust me! Funny thing, Scott the Nametag Guy wrote something about that in his latest blog. All about trust. And guess what was one of his points to creating trust?
–Be funnier.
Scott quotes bestselling author Jeffrey Gitomer’s book, “The Little Teal Book of Trust”:
“The funnier you are, the more engaging you are, the closer the audience will listen, and the more authentic you’re perceived to be. Getting the audience to laugh is tacit approval, and it’s your best change to deliver important facts. At the end of laughter is the height of listening.”
Scott adds, “Just be funny. Humor is the great catchall. If people perceive you as being funny, you’re halfway home. What have you done in the past month to become funnier?”
What better reason to develop your humor muscles and “Get Your SHINE Together!” I trust that you’ll get started today!
