Whistle away...

Just saw this delightful documentary Pucker Up: the Fine Art of Whistling. Amazed that there is so much to whistling! Apart from the just the competition, director covered the art of whistling and the passion of those who competed.

Criticism -- How to give and take!

Here is a nice article on How to Give Kind Criticism, and Avoid Being Critical
Response for the article is great with good visitor suggestions





One technique a visitor mentioned: P-C-P

• First, “P” - Praise the effort, progress or results, no matter how far from the desired one. Find something that you can be laudatory about. This is critical, because it lowers the receiver’s automatic defenses and conditions them to be more receptive to what you have to say next.

• Then, “C” - criticize - deliver the criticism with a constructive voice, using Leo’s great techniques above.

• Then “P” - Praise again and segue into an acknowledgment of the effort put in and express your excitement to share in future growth.

The P-C-P sandwich is an amazingly effective technique and it can really work to turn potentially explosive situations into energized and constructive ones.

2 Classic Rockers, 1 Night = Awesome

Last night we went to see Bryan Adams and George Thorogood at Gibson Amphitheatre (LA). Both of them rocked...it was awesome. Bryan once again proved why he is the best thing Canada produced in a long time (after Rush) ;) George did his no BS rocking and he has a great stage presence.
