Add You - Baby-Sitting The Brain
One of the newest and most innovative trade show displays on the market is the Xpressions Display. The Xpressions display is essentially a popup display with dye-sub graphics stretched at all angles across the frame of the exhibit. This style allows graphics to be easily interchanged to give your company a fresh look at your next show.Many dye-sub graphics are machine-washable, which means that you will never have to worry about your booth looking dirty and unprofessional. Simply unhook the graphic from the frame and throw it into the washing machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions, and your graphics will look clean and f
A large portion of our brain, our neocortex, consists of a left and a right hemisphere. The corpus callosum provides a communications bridge between the two halves. And the two hemispheres need all the communication help they can get. They see very little the same way. They resemble two siblings whose experience is the same but who rarely agree about what they experienced. With the help of the corpus callosum, the two hemispheres are able to partner. To
Problems Faced By Companies On The Cost FrontOn the cost front, most industries such as the manufacturing industry, service industry, health care industry and even the educational industry are all experiencing a great amount of pressure. As an example, hospitals are facing ever-decreasing compensation from insurance companies, which is a serious concern to many. Hospitals also experience the pressure of high labor costs and low productivity. This decline in revenue has come about due to the increase in costs and the ever-increasing competition. Six Sigma has always been construed as a quality improvement tool, and quality has always b
The little girl is scared. This place is new. Different. Bright. Hot. She wonders, “why is this strange man is talking to me?” He raises his voice. “Look over here,” he hollers. She’d look but the lights are bright. He holds up a toy. He squeezes it. The toy’s eyes pop. It’s interesting. Fun. She smiles. A bright flash of light pops. Her mother says, “Good girl!” They are done. The picture has been created.
Someday the girl will appreciate this photo. She’ll marvel at it. Scrapbook it. Show it off. Her kids will marvel. Laugh. Enjoy it too. So will their kids. But on this day she was afraid. The situation was new. Unknown. She wouldn’t have looked if not for the toy. It caught her attention. Its fun beckoned. And the light went on.
This scene repeats itself millions of times a day at Wal-Marts, Olan Mills, Sears, photography studios all over the world, and in classrooms filled with adults afraid of learning.
Survival or Pleasure
Our brain has a dual focus, survival and pleasure. Survival is the baseline. Without survival nothing matters. Our brain, to insure survival, never stops looking for threats. All the components of the brain, even those responsible for logic and arts, refocus immediately if the brain perceives a threat. This dynamic cannot be ignored in the classroom. Ideas, and the intellectual application of those ideas, are unimportant to a threat focused brain.
Once a brain determines that survival is temporarily secure, it refocuses on the second priority, pleasure. The brain doesn’t specifically want to have fun. It’s just that many pleasurable sensations, including sleep, eating, sex and play, are directly tied to survival. The survival connection to food, rest and procreation seem obvious. The brain also needs intellectual stimulation. Thinking is the brain’s own exercise machine, keeping it healthy, alert and functioning.

Dream Jobs Can Come True - Especially If You Are An EntrepreneurThe weekend gardner dreams about escaping their office and working with plants all day. The weekend gourmet chef considers leaving their accounting profession behind to open a restaurant. These daydreams are happening every day in offices, schools and factories.According to findings from a recent Hudson poll, a national staffing and outsourcing firm based in New York, almost three-quarters of American entrepreneurs say that being self-employed is their dream job. The survey also found that almost half of employees who work for private companies s

Small business start-up need not cost the earth and you can approach it from a number of directions. A recent press article covered some good material for those thinking of starting a small business. Quoting three cases of successful small business starts, it gave information on the background of the new business owners.One of the factors I found interesting was that in each instance the entrepreneur was female. No I am not being sexist I am saying how good it is that these ladies have seen and seized the opportunity.I believe that almost anyone with a skill can succeed in business if there is a market for his or her product or

Good Manners with Customers:Good manners are more than being “nice,” and they should be part of your fundamental business strategy. Everyone who makes up the company must always use their best manners which includes behavior, attitude, and grooming. Remember that your customers are judging you and your employees from the first moment they enter your business, and first impressions last.Did you know that people look at your face first and your feet second? That is what the etiquette experts say, and they say that is why it so important to be well-groomed from head to toe. That is also why your first reaction to a cus

If you are operating a business from your home and your post office address clearly indicates a home address, you may want to re-think your marketing strategy.A Rural Route 2 address can plainly say your business might be in a bedroom at home, or worse, in the barn. Does 27 Sleeping Beauty Circle look like a business address to you?If your business is still at home and your address screams it, get a post office box. There are also companies that rent addresses and forward your mail. You could have a Chicago address and live in Nebraska (although I don't recommend it). A Chicago address might sound better than a suburb
A large portion of our brain, our neocortex, consists of a left and a right hemisphere. The corpus callosum provides a communications bridge between the two halves. And the two hemispheres need all the communication help they can get. They see very little the same way. They resemble two siblings whose experience is the same but who rarely agree about what they experienced. With the help of the corpus callosum, the two hemispheres are able to partner. Together they simultaneously comprehend the details and the context.
Generally, the left hemisphere thinks logically, the right holistically. The left sequentially: the right randomly. The left analyzes, the right synthesizes. The left comprehends words: the right comprehends metaphors. The left examines what is said: the right discerns how it is said. The left seeks facts and details: the right stories and visuals. And most importantly for this discussion, the left processes positive emotions like laughter and joy: the right processes negative emotions like fear and disgust.
This duality allows our brain to size up unknown situations quickly. The right hemisphere surveys the big picture looks for survival threats. The left hemisphere analyzes the potential threats, and if no threat is present, looks for the positive aspects of the situation.
When the incoming information doesn’t fit recognizable patterns, our brain goes on alert. If the right perceives negative potential it directs the release of cortisol. If the left perceives positive potential, adrenaline is released. Both of these brain chemicals sear memories into our brain. They allow us to remember the events years afterwards.
Baby-Sitting Adults
The threat of threats doesn’t disappear in adults. As a result, the brain’s survival focus can block learning. To the wary brain, a classroom can be Uncomfortable. Foreign. Threatening. The act of learning implies a lack of completeness. Learners suspicious of facilitator motives, or fearful of their own learning disabilities, can become so wrapped up in right hemispheric negativity that they switch into survival mode. Learning is forgotten. Given that this brain panic cannot be stopped, smart trainers find ways to harmonize with and direct the brain’s dual focus.
