... x No Thanks Loading.. Brain Tissue And Scar Tissue 4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Michael Manes This content has not been rated yet. 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 is about living, trying, failing, and trying again. These are matters of the heart and soul. Much of the ...

... let's say, no perpetuation plan, test to see how real it is. Is it intellectual hurt or real pain? Then present enough information to make the depth of the problem self-evident. 3. Inject a little drama into the interview. If you're a straight-laced, CPCU, by-the-book kind of person, this will never work for you. Many "professional" people have a compelling need to know the answers to everything. (They see it as a mark of their professionalism.) You needn't wear a dirty trench coat and smoke a stogie like Columbo, but at some point you've got to loosen up and let your prospects figure out for themselves that they have a problem. This is called acting. Many think it's a dirty word; they remember the first grade, when the teacher asked a question, and their hands were up and waving furiously. There was something special about being the first and the brightest back then. But now, having instant answers could be a problem. Anyone close to you; spouse, partner, boss, therapist, minister, could name your flaws in a minute. If they did so, you would probably deny them or get defensive. Your prospect or client will behave the same way. You might not be a good actor. I used to think I was until I joined an improv team: They were fair and I was bad. After a lot of practice, I have risen from bad to poor, and that improvement has made me a lot of money. (Again, it's like golf: Sure, you ...

... new information and ideas for action in the areas of technology, demographics, social concerns, economics, and legal and political issues - all of which you need in any public relations campaign. 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. NEWSLETTERS A second option to be explored for enhancing your PR campaign is the use of newsletters. Newsletters educate your clients and contacts, promote your agency's effectiveness, and demonstrate concern for your clients' well-being. They are a proactive method by which you can stay in touch with your customers between renewal dates. Monthly or quarterly publications will keep recipients thinking about you and your agency ...

... display that image, ' Wood said. Their best hires have been people who have grown up' in the industry, he added. Veteran or Rookie? The question of whether to hire a person with an insurance sales background or hire a rookie and train him always brings a different response. An experienced insurance producer who is willing to move to a new agency may be trouble for the new agency, according to many advisers. He may have several years of experience-all bad. He may be planning to retire. He may have been in the wrong job for many, many years. He will almost always command a higher salary than a newcomer. One agent who has had luck hiring producers over the years points out that previously the partners in his office were a bread man, a teacher, and a mailman. Steve Goodfellow, Ph.D., CPCU advocates hiring a young person - a college grad with sales aptitude - and training him or her in the insurance business. Goodfellow is president of Business Insurance Services in Tallahassee, Fla., and was previously director of management programs for the Florida Association of Insurance Agents. While he was with the Florida association, he conducted a program called Up-Start' in which he recruited and hired 14 college graduates and placed them in sales positions throughout Florida. About Tests Many agents are skeptical about using personality or psychological profile tests when hiring. They prefer to go by a gut reaction. But there are persuasive arguments for using them as part of the hiring process. The interview process is really a kind of theater, ' says Greenberg. ...

You'll never forget it. This was the greatest show on earth, and she was the greatest performer. You loved your parents. Your mom was a teacher. Dad was a carpenter. You knew what they did. It was boring! You'd watched your friends' parents the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. They were doctors, lawyers, and Indian chiefs. They were boring. You vowed that day to join the circus. This is what would make your heart beat fast. You never wanted to be boring. You shared your dream of a life under the big tent with your parents they laughed.
