Learning can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.
Put a smile on your face and notice the difference it makes to your customers
🙂
1. You can only have fun helping other people learn if you’re having fun doing
it.
2. When a class and its teacher all laugh together … they become a unit
… enjoying the shared experience. If that community can be prolonged or
re-established and applied to the job of thinking, the teacher will have
succeeded. (Highet, 1951: 56-57)
3. The power of humour to break through barriers of fear, anxiety and
tension is well-recognised.
4. People like people who make them smile 🙂 it helps if your customer likes
you.
5. Smiling offers encouragement to the person that you are talking to.
6. Conti and Fellenz’s research on good and bad teaching of native
American learners (1988) reveals an appreciation by learners of teachers who
display a variety of warm, human feelings that are telegraphed to students by a
smile … a genuine smile, and ‘good teachers make learning fun’
7. Smiling helps build rapport and makes learning easier for you, see what
happens to your customers when you smile 🙂
We would love to put a smile on your face and help you learn something. The
next time you look in the mirror and see a picture of a bulldog chewing a wasp
just smile.

you smile.
