Frank Kelly’s Turned 50

Frank Kelly’s turned 50, No Way!

He has a picture in the attic, I’d say

But looks can deceive, sure you ne’er would believe

What he’s managed to achieve to today

 

His exploits on the pitch for Moate Whites

Underage thru to senior, hit heights

On the golf course he’s keen, but not so often is seen

And as a rugby fan he has sure seen the sights

 

77 beyont in London was some craic

You discovered Picadilly and the Big Mac

The TR6, and Dinny Diggins with the odd missing chickens

Oh by the way – The Parnells want their jersey sent back

 

Music’s always been part of Frank’s plan

Rory Gallagher for sure’s his main man

I saw Frank on the stage at a very young age

He and Jonny Bastick fair rocked the Convent Clan

 

Your family values have always been true

Micky, Eithne and co know that too

And now the kids and Debbie are priority

As Work-Life balance you strive to rescue

 

Frank; on this night of fun, frolics and beer

We wish you great health and good cheer

Husband, son, friend and father, businessman or big brother

You’ve achieved a lot by your fifty first year

Manipulate or Influence

I have a session coming up shortly on Effective Influence so I’ve been doing some reading. I came across an article titled ‘Psychological tricks to manipulate people’. The title made me uncomfortable. Whether you are a high powered Negotiator, work in Sales, provide Customer Service or you simply need to

Be on the look out …

“Make someone’s day” is a great recommendation. I read it in the book Fish written by Steven Lundin. He says it doesn’t have to be a life changing gesture. For some people at some times the phrase ‘How are you’ could change their life or make their day if used

Have you tried to contact your own organisation?

I just wanted to reclaim points due on my Credit Card loyalty scheme. Simple? Yes, maybe. Easy? Not with ‘XYZ Bank – Reward Scheme’.   No obvious link on the XYZ Home Page to their Reward Scheme dept. Tried their Search function. Had a quick look at FAQs. Still no
