Hi Everyone,
Hope you have all had a nice restful weekend and are ready to hit the road running again today. If it is still your Sunday, here's an interesting place to enjoy for a bit. Funny video compilations Funny Videos
You know, I think humour is a bit like how some people differentiate between a good contractor and a 'so-so' contractor. Some things just work well together and others need to be avoided as much as possible. What are your thoughts on this?
The interesting thing to think on for a bit, is what type of humour best appeals to you? Are you a language person or a slapstick comedy type person or a bit of both? I've decided I'm a bit of both. Too much slapstick is boring and too much language strains my brain too much ~ and a lot of it just goes right over my head!
It could also be equivalent to explaining a technical problem to a client. Too much information (that is) too much detail and you lose their attention and too little they don't fully understand the difficulty of their problem that you are trying to fix. And they are then the ones more likely to complain about the cost! Sometimes you blokes must feel totally lost as to what to do.
Can I suggest that this is where body language comes in? Also watch their eyes. If their eyes are starting to glaze over, it's time to make it as brief as possible. If they fold their arms when listening to you it means they aren't taking anything in so it's time to 'wake them up' and start asking a few questions!
Anyway, contracting and humour do share a lot in common.
Warm Regards,
Jan
