The cow was notoriously cheap, so it surprised everyone when she voted yes for the secret Santa
scheme. It was the horse’s suggestion, and she backed it immediately, saying, “I choose the turkey.” The pig, who considered himself an authority on all things gifty, cleared his throat. “That’s not actually the way it works,” he said. “It’s secret, see, so we each draw a name and keep it to ourselves until Christmas morning.” “Why do you always have to be like that?” the cow asked, and the duck sighed, “Here we go.” “First you ask me to give someone a Christmas present,” the cow continued, “and then you tell me it has to be done your way. Like, ‘Oh, I have four legs so I’m better than everyone else.’ ” “Don’t you have four legs?” the pig asked. The cow loosed something between a moan and a sigh. “All right, just because you have a curly tail,” she said.

ACTION _ POWER words to use in your CV

When it comes to communication we do it in number of ways. Through words, tone of voice and the body languge.

Here is he percentage split between body language, voice and words:

Body Language – the visible actions that we show to others using all parts of our body – 55%
Voice – the pitch, pace, tone and volume of our voice – 38%
Words – the actual words that make up our message – 7%.

This often surprises many people as they often think the words make up most of the communication. In reality, it’s the visible things we show that communicates most of the message as this is where most people’s perceptions are formed – from what they can see.

Since my students are GMs, CEOs and various C-level managers I have the ability to learn it directly from them and I am excited to share my discoveries with you.
