"One of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves is the permission to laugh." - Des Penny
When we lose the laughter then we have lost everything laughter truly is the best medicine.
One of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves is the permission to laugh.
Don't you just love it when you hear someone having a great belly laugh, it is absolutely contagious.
I love to laugh albeit often at inappropriate times and places.
Have you ever noticed that when you get busy the things you remove from your life are usually the things that make you happy?
We enter into this incredible zone of self-sacrifice which inevitably has a negative effect on both us and those around us.
The interesting thing about this is that we can be in control of how happy we are. Sure, things will happen in our lives that cause us grief however, the length of time we allow these things to control us is completely up to us and will eventually determine the damage they do.
We lose our joy by not keeping things in perspective and by not allowing ourselves to have some fun. When did you last plan a night out to see a funny movie or go to a comedy show?
Wherever you get your joy from, get it back, and never lose it, because it is your responsibility to be happy. Circumstances can sometimes overpower you, but your inner joy is something that no one can take away unless you allow them to. It is who you are.
So, take some time out rediscover your joy and put yourself into situations where you experience the amazing healing power of laughter.
Remember, when we lose the laughter, we lose everything, so keep laughing, it truly is the best medicine.
Have an awesome week.

Managing Recruitment, Performance And Growth
2021 Program #2 - Only 5 places left!
Empower yourself to manage and lead people better through more effective Human Resource Management knowledge and skills.
The role of today’s contemporary leader is a multi-faceted one. Not only do we need to understand our own role, but we also need to have a sound knowledge of the processes surrounding the management of our most valuable resource – our people.
Although most organisations have internal Human Resource experts, it is important that every leader understands the HR role, what it is there for, and how they need to reflect the policies and processes that support it.
Throughout this program we will follow the life-cycle of a new staff member from recruitment and induction, to training and development, performance management, through the counselling and disciplinary processes and then into the organisational succession plan.
Over 4 x half-days expert Proteus facilitators will deliver 4 virtual sessions exploring a range of topics, all focused on preparing leaders to be better people managers.
These virtual sessions combined with 8 weekly digital challenges make it one of the most relevant HR leadership programs available.
This is a practical, ‘hands on’ program that provides Human Resource Management information, skills and processes for the everyday leader.
You will not become an instant Human Resources Manager, but you will appreciate the importance of the role and the importance of your involvement in Human Resource Management processes and procedures as they apply to your workplace.
