Classics

I like to start the day with a laugh and this morning, I came across some very funny one liners from the late, great British comedian, Tommy Cooper.  I used to watch him as a kid and just remember that I never stopped laughing.  My late Stepfather once used to be a bodyguard in the Royal protection squad and after he finished with Royalty, he looked after a few celebrities including Mr Cooper.  He used to tell me that it was impossible to even think of guarding him as he was always telling jokes and was never serious!  Sadly Tommy died on stage after suffering a heart attack I think, but at least he went doing what he loved best.  Here are a few of his classics:

A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted “Doctor, doctor, I cant feel my legs!”  The doctor replied, “I know you cant, I had to amputate your arms.”

My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli, he was pulled in by a strong currant

A dyslexic man walks into a bra

I was reading this book the other day – The History of Glue. I couldn’t put it down

I went to the dentist the other day and he said “Open your mouth and say aah”, “Why”, I said, “My dog’s died”, he replied

I was driving home the other night after a night out at the bar and a policeman pulled me over “Can you blow into this bag”  he asked “What for”, came my reply. “My french fries are too hot”

Classics.

Anyway I have a very busy day starting with some busniess consulting, then some sales training and then beer!!!

Back Again

Back from a series of trips including a visit back 'home' to the good old UK.  I must say I was really surprised how cold it was compared to Dallas, which reached 80 degrees just before my departure and looking at the snow covered UK today, its only got worse.

Crazy Jack and I are working on an exciting new series of online products ranging from martial arts to a complete online recruiters training program.  Having trained literally hundreds of recruiters over the years, many who have gone on to great success with their own companies and others who have taken senior management positions with large global firms, I thought it was about time that I shared my secrets and this online program will cover everything, but most importantly, how to ensure that as a recruiter, you are immediately seen to add value to your clients and candidates.

I am working 'live' with people and explaining how a downturn in the economy can be a huge opportunity and of course, how to handle each and every objection that is thrown at you, before it even occurs.   this is probably my most exciting project yet!!
