How you define things (including calories) affects your perspective (& your reality distortion field)
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
My good friend Roman Rollnick sent this (even though he’s in the communications field he’s conspicuously not on the web, hence no hyperlink). I laughed. Then I thought about the effects definitions have on us. How we define things sets the parameters of our thinking. From whose fault it is that those extra pounds continue […]

You’re fine, how am I? Learning & Development Self-care
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Humor & comedy
I love this comic by Dan Piraro of Bizarro comic fame. Makes me think of self-care & wellness.
