Appreciated by All Audiences

For the Coach -

Coaching Soup for the Cartoon Soul serves as a valuable bullet-point reminder of proven coaching principles, and a "significance buster" so that we don't take ourselves too seriously.  And we learn more rapidly and retain information more easily when we are having fun! In this fast-paced society in which we live, coaches will find this format extremely useful. 

Unique coaching approaches and techniques are mentioned frequently. Page numbers are noted where in-depth discussions about these tools can be easily found in Jed and Germaine's book, Coach Anyone About Anything: How to Help People Succeed in Business and Life. 

Germaine Porché and Jed Niederer, management consultants for 18 and 25 years, share a long history of coaching executives, managers, entrepreneurs and teams to accelerate business performance. Despite their serious work, they can't help but see the lighter side of the coaching industry. The cartoons were all inspired by actual events. "I sketched many of them as they happened", explains Niederer, the "wrist" or artist of the cartooning duo. Germaine recalls, "One project team actually voted 5 to 4 on whether to send an injured team member a 'get well' card!  Occurences like that are just too funny not to capture and share."

For the Non-Coach -

Coaching Soup for the Cartoon Soul is an
information rich and intentionally quirky 'inside look' 
at the coaching profession.

Clients of coaches will love seeing a lighter side of their coach's world. And certainly everyone can benefit from learning the principles of effective coaching.

Opportunities for coaching others lay all around you - friends, colleagues, family members, and business associates - just to name a few.

"Jed & Germaine have created an amazing tool. If a picture is worth a thousand words then they have assembled volumes of coaching wisdom... and they all fit in your briefcase. I have already found myself referencing these powerful concepts in several of my coaching calls and presentations. If you are a coach or coach people in your work - you MUST have these books. If you have kids you need this book. It is an absolute perfect life and work companion."

Laughter's Amazing Benefits -

1. Laughter releases endorphins, a chemical 10 times more powerful than the pain-relieving drug morphine,
    into the body with the same exhilarating effect as doing strenuous exercise. These endorphins can lead to
    a sense of well-being and optimism.

2. Every time you have a good hearty laugh you burn up 3.5 calories.

3. Laughing for 20 seconds provides the same exercise for your heart as 3 full minutes of hard rowing.

4. Laughing increases oxygen intake, thereby replenishing and invigorating your body's cells.

5. Laughter increases your pain threshold, boosts immunity, and relieves stress.

6. Laughing and having fun on the job make a positive difference:

      a. Dr. David Abramis at Cal State Long Beach discovered that people who have fun on the job are more
          creative, more productive, better decision-makers, and get along better with co-workers. They also
          have fewer absentee, late, and sick days than employees who aren't having fun.

      b. A survey by Hodge-Cronin & Associates found that of 737 CEOs surveyed, 98 percent preferred job
          candidates with a sense of humor to those without.

      c. Another survey indicated that 84 percent of the executives thought that employees with a sense of
          humor do a better job than people with little or no sense of humor.

      d. Fun not only breaks up boredom, it also reduces fatigue.

      e. There is something magical about a company whose executives understand that happy and laughing
          employees are better, more productive, and loyal employees. This magic is translated into a
          productive and financially profitable business.

7. Humor and laughter can bridge the gap between total strangers.

8. Dr. Georgi Lozanov discovered that laughter and fun accelerate learning.    

"I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, 'Ain't that the truth.' " - Quincy Jones
