Take a seat (in a ball pit) & make a friend
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication

The ‘Middle Wife’ by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture, Humor & comedy
I checked this story on Snopes & turns out it’s an urban legend, however, it’s too cute nonetheless. It’s a great example of how, when your perspective is different (that of a child) things can get turned around in the most hilarious of ways. I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two […]

And now for something completely different … This caught my attention, well, because it shares the name of my company. I don’t know who this guy is but he made me snort with laughter. His absolute sincerity. His complete seriousness. His total fascination with facts. If you liked that one, check out his exasperation with […]

A parent’s perspective on their teen
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
Okay, I know, I know, teens get a lot of flack. I have one myself (a teen that is) so I hear stories about some of the grief he goes through. And… I think this sign is hilarious. It flips the switch on perspective. And that’s always illuminating. (Thanks to my friend & colleague Roman […]

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy, Training & development
In case you can’t read the text, the note in the bag of candy says: Hello! We’re twin baby boys on our first flight & we’re only 14 weeks old. We’ll try to be on our best behavior but we’d like to apologize in advance just in case we lose our cool, get scared or […]

Taking a page from the puppy: when you’re little & lost sometimes someone’s just gotta show you the way
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy, Training & development
When it comes to learning, the curve can be steep, steep like a staircase. Sometimes it just takes a little demo to nudge us from ‘I don’t want to go there’ to ‘oh, I get it!’ Like the big dog showing the orphaned pup below. Who knew going downstairs could be so tough? At least […]
