Presentation
Melissa Cooper – Communication
Communication at Christmas usually brings out the best and worst in people
• Suicide is higher
• People may not feel loved
• Don’t know how to talk to family about issues (money, lifestyle, health) which causes conflict
• Children and adults need to be open to more communication as this will open up trust and relations towards each other.
• By relating you realise how important you are to your family
• We often create unhealthy habits and relations which can often cause blame, silence, a distractor, talk over, too busy, and pointing the finger.
You need to talk to each other and ensure each other’s needs are met.
Stop blaming, if all else fails remove you from the situation until everything calms down.
This is a great time of year communication is the key to good relationships.

Presentation
Ted O’Shannessy – Appreciation Marketing
Ted undertook a presentation based on the Amazon.Com National Best-Seller Written by
Tommy Wyatt & Curtis Lewsey
How to achieve greatness through gratitude.
People remember you through what you do and say, if they feel good the feeling is good.
Saying thank you in more than a text message or speech can benefit you and your business.
Going overboard with thank you could help your business, not saying thank you at all is not beneficial
More people with work with you and your business if they like you.
If you want to be super successful in business don’t become one of the 7 Deadly Creatures
• The Sucker
• The Puker
• The Whiner ( sucker on training wheels)
• The Narcissus
• The vulture
• Mr Halitosis
Do you want your sincerity to look like Chocolate and Sprinkle Coated Dog Poop ?
No! Then be sincere and appreciate them honestly.
If you collect business cards class them as people, It’s not how many business cards you collect. It’s the quality of the relationships you build with those human beings. And it’s easy!
We as human beings have 100% control over exactly ONE thing . . .What we think!
Simple disciplines repeated daily will guide you to your destiny
• What would happen if you smoked a pack of cigarettes a day?
• What if you eat a half-gallon chocolate each day?
• What if you invested money every day?
• What if you appreciated the people in your life every day?
Try working on your own Appreciation Marketing Campaign!
• It can be as little as a phone call or
• As big as a card and present.
Ted suggested taking the business correlation off your cards and notes and make it more personal, but keep it within the reigns that work for your business.
