BRAIN TISSUE AND SCAR TISSUE by Michael Manes A wise friend of mine often talks about brain tissue versus scar tissue. I agree with him that these are the two ways that we learn. Brain tissue is about schooling: academics, textbooks, and issues of the head. It includes the basic principles, standards, facts, and the rules that frame and sometimes limit our lives. During a lot of the time people spend in the world of brain tissue, they're sitting on their backsides listening to a teacher talk about life or reading about someone else's experiences. The teacher then grades (judges) and posts what each student learned. This type of learning opportunity is also limited, and the results are inconsistent — some people never learn to read, and others get a Ph.D. The quality of the results can vary because of the talent and focus of the student, facility, textbook, and/or instructor. All too often, brain tissue learning is about trying to force another person's knowledge to fit into our own skull. Using our brain tissue is a low-risk activity. It's life proposed — a thinking thing. Brain tissue is good. We retain much of what we learn this way or can recall it as it's needed. It's the stuff we try to remember. Scar tissue ...

... member of one major political party, and you think another party is obstructing school improvement by blocking your party's innovative programs and budget enhancements, take the side of the other party. Begin your conversation. One of you makes an opening statement, and the other uses one of the phrases to establish an agreement frame: I appreciate that, and (rebuttal) . ' Then you preface your rebuttal of that remark with another one of the phrases, and so on. Here's an example You: The Edutarians are going to wreck the school system if we aren't careful. Friend: I understand your position, and those programs could improve literacy levels and test scores. You: I respect your opinion, and I feel it's got to stop now or my kids won't learn a thing because the teachers are too busy doing bureaucratic paperwork. Friend: I appreciate how you feel, but .. The instant you hear your friend say but, ' set the anchor. Stand up, lean over them, and yell loudly and intensely, You said but! ' ' Then sit down and continue the discussion. How and why does that exercise work? Simple — you're creating a visual, aural, and kinesthetic anchor to the word but. From now on, every time you're about to say but, ' your mind remembers it might be unpleasant, so it finds an alternative. It's similar to testing the temperature of your coffee before you take a big gulp. It's an automatic response. Probably you once burned yourself slightly with hot coffee. Now you don't, because you ...

... &# 160 &# 160 When I was growing up in the small Pennsylvania town of Beaver Falls, my mother would send me off to school, friends, or family by saying, "Now mind your Ps and Qs!" Although I didn't know the origin of the expression, I certainly knew its meaning: Be on your good behavior and mind your manners! Years later, I learned several possible explanations for this widely used phrase. &# 160 When ale was ordered in British pubs, the tabs would be marked "p " for pints or "q " for quarts. The publican and drinker were both challenged to keep the tab straight. Another notion is that a child learning to read might have trouble distinguishing p' and q' and thus was warned by the teacher to be careful. Along the same lines, a typesetter needed to be attentive so as not to confuse the two letters when setting type. Regardless of what explanation you prefer, today the meaning is commonly understood as using proper etiquette and being correct in your conduct. &# 160 As adults, we don't have mothers who send us off to work with helpful reminders and, unfortunately, many times it shows. Here are a few tips on how to mind your Ps and Qs in the workplace: &# 160 Say please and thank you. Even in these busy, frantic times, there's no excuse not to use these courtesies. &# 160 Get along with others. Greet people by name, smile, be approachable, and friendly. This applies to everyone in the ...

... agency repairs, attorneys and accountants, or bad debts! I think that many agency owners don't train producers because they themselves didn't need training to succeed. Or maybe training is so far removed from their needs that they don't even think of it. It is necessary, though. For example, a friend of mine built a $90,000 book at his first agency and then stalled. He and his employer became frustrated with each other and eventually parted ways. After his new employer provided sales training and the producer generated $100,000 in 10 months (and his book is still growing strong) . The old dictum, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach," holds true. A great talent for selling does not make an owner a great teacher. Most owners should stick with providing direction and goals and send their producers to a good sales training program. Provide sales training. It does cost money, but even $5 ,000 is a low-cost investment. Consider how much thousands of agencies waste every year on failed and failing producers. Suppose a new producer is paid an average of $75,000 per year. If after three years, the producer's book equals only $50,000, the agency has lost at least $150,000 over three years. Training is a bargain compared with failure!

Your membership in an organization can also provide you with individual skills, such as leadership, management, parliamentary procedure, and more; and, happily, these skills can be learned and improved upon at no expense to your work environment. Some types of organizations you may look into joining include the following: Service clubs, such as Rotary, Optimists, Lions, Zonta, and Quota Social groups, such as crafters guilds, card clubs, and sports teams Religious groups, such as ministries and support services Political organizations, such as local, state, and national parties Educational groups, such as Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), and American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) Professional organizations, such as National Association of Insurance Women, American Business Women, and state agent associations. Should you decide to join an organization as part of your public relations effort, join with a mission. Make your mission the betterment of the group, your community, and yourself.
