5 Ways to Make Your Workplace Fun
Joyful workplaces are buzzing with people bursting with energy, vitality and enthusiasm! They love what they do and feel they are important at work, and do important work!
Here are five ways to make your your workplace a fun place to be!
- Give others permission to be joyful!
Our first step to creating a joy spot at work is to give others permission to have fun! Fear of humiliation, or F.O.W.O.T, fear of what others think (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amanda-gore/fear_b_4168461.html), often stops people doing things that make work fun. If the leader does fun things it gives everyone else permission to do the same. If the leader (parent or teacher) is serious and ‘professional’ all the time, no one else feels safe to laugh or create opportunities to be joyful! I believe it’s possible to be extremely professional AND have fun and be joyful at the same time. I think it’s one of the secrets of my success in each career I have had. Your mindset matters! Focus on creating and modelling joy today! Watch how others will follow you, once they know you are sincere! Or they are convinced you have had a personality transplant! LOL, Just joking!

Podcast - How to FARC in Public
Last month I caught up with these 3 lovely ladies: Cyndi from Changing Habits (http://www.changinghabits.com.au/), Kim from Like Chocolate for Women (http://www.likechocolateforwomen.com/) and speaker Carren Smith. (http://www.carrensmith.com/) They have an inspiring podcast series called 'Up for a Chat' at thewellnesscouch.com (http://thewellnesscouch.com)
The chat begins around motivation and what motivates people to change? FARCing becomes the hot word of the hour, standing for focus, awareness, repetition and celebration. The crux of the talk comes down to how you feel about yourself and whether you are worthy of change. A fabulous discussion that will change your position on motivation.

My Latest Article on Huff Post
Shine a Light on Your Fears
I believe that many of us spend our lives running wildly through an endless pitch black corridor desperately searching for a light switch.
The dark consists of all our fears. Suddenly we find a light switch and frantically turn it on. Light! Relief! Our fears are gone. We are happy. Whew!
But then the bulb dies, or the power fails, or worse -- someone turns the light switch off -- and oh no -- we are plunged into the unhappiness of fear again. If this happens, fear returns and hopelessness can follow.

Joy is an Inside Job out next month!
Why a new edition?
After selling 10,000 copies of The Gospel of Joy - it seemed time to update it! Although the essence of the message in this 2nd edition is the same, I have learned so much since I first wrote it 5 years ago and I have incorporated my new knowledge into this version which I have called Joy is an Inside Job.
What is different?
There is a whole lot of new information in the energy and vitality section and I have made it a little more generic in terms of spirituality. It's a difficult call when you write a book like this to not offend anyone with your own beliefs! So, although I continue to believe in a spiritual God, I have make the book easier to read for those who don't share my personal beliefs.
I have also added more information on how to change, and there are now little cartoons throughout the book making it, I hope , a more joyful experience to read! LOL!
