Time to look at the friendly search terms that bring people here and see if I can help some people who might not know why they landed on my blog.
dog motivation – I don’t actually talk about this, but I will offer this tip I learned from the PetSmart trainers that worked with our dogs. Dogs are motivated by one of two things – Food and toys. If they love food, you can train them with treats. If they prefer a special toy, then you can use the toy as a reward. Other than that…I have no idea what motivates dogs. You know what motivates my dogs? Naps. And plenty of them.
“craig price” steroids – I would like to squash the rumors right now. I have not now nor have I ever in my past, used steroids. My abnormally size head is due to ego, not drugs. Which explains why Barry Bonds head is the size of a Rhino’s butt!
relationships too excited to talk – I’m not sure if your too excited to talk to get into a relationship or you are too excited about your relationship to talk. If it’s the first problem, calm down. Breath and be yourself. Unless yourself means acting like a crack addicted ferret. Then DO NOT act anything like yourself. If you’re in a relationship and you’re too excited to even talk, we need to take a look at this “relationship”. First, does the other person know they are part of the relationship? This amount of excitement usually suggests stalker. They may be surprised to know they’re in a “relationship” with you and may call the police. If they don’t call the cops and they admit to being in a relationship, good for you! You’ve just jumped the biggest hurdle in dating today. Second, find common interest. Ironically, stalkers would know more about their “partners” and this would work to their advantage. I, myself, never understood stalking. It’s always about their schedule, where they’re going, what they like. I just don’t have that kind of time to invest. But common interests allow you to have some sort of dialogue and then let it naturally progress from there.
recommendations for bad employee – I would recommend they find work elsewhere. Simple, but effective.
training programme with negative set – We have just the thing for you: Managing Negativity in the Workplace. I even train internationally. Your programme spelling gave you away!
what kind of monkeys are there – Good question. There are a variety of monkeys and apes in the world. Punkeys has more information on monkeys. Mostly about how evil they are.
Finally we have these two searches that pop up again and again. power of negative language and power of negative words
People respond to negative language more than positive language. We like and hope for positive things but science has shown our negativity bias will remember the negative much more than the positive. So we need to watch our words when we talk to co-workers, employees, spouses…anybody. An example I use is an employee review.
I’ve got Jeff in for an employee review. I sit him down and say, “Jeff, you are the best employee we’ve got. You work hard, everything is done perfectly, I wish you would show up on time more, but I can trust you with anything! I wish I had 100 more like you!”
Despite all the glory, Jeff’s going to remember “Oh my god. They think I’m a slacker for being late all the time.” And that certainly wasn’t the point of the review. But people react and remember negative statements.
And let’s be honest. There are times we want them to remember the negative. I’m all for letting people know where they stand. Honest constructive criticism can work wonders. But when you’re trying to make a positive statement, adding any bit on negative language or words can sabotage your point.
Oh…and congrats to the Celtics. I haven’t watched them since Larry Bird retired but it’s good when the hometown team wins.
