What made you laugh today?

Martijn,

Today was off to a good start. I saw this widget. It’s a little hatch that you can stick over your webcam and it opens and closes.

That made me smile because it’s clever. A gift from a law firm, which has a sizeable privacy practice. And in a very friendly and useful way, it has acquired a near permanent piece of real estate on a client’s desktop. That’s no small feat in the permission and endorsement arena.

So in being present and really noticing things, I smile a lot of different smiles throughout the day. From “Ha, I see what you did there” to genuine wonder-and-delight smiles. Oh, and the face my wife just pulled when I told her I was having toast with lemon curd for breakfast.

That made me laugh out loud. And it isn’t even 10 o’clock yet.

What made you laugh today?

He qualified as a psychotherapist since he found out that your parents have regularly got more influence on your business results than you do. Prior to becoming an advisor in 2001, he held senior management positions in the IT and supply chain industry for ten years. His practice is founded on stuff he learnt at MIT, Phoenix and by the attitude that got him dubbed “The Orginal Nosey Parker” by David Ogilvy.
