This Week's Conference Call Conference Calls ScheduleLast week's Conference Call featured Alexandria Brighton and Dr. Judy Wright who joined the call to discuss Ancient Legacy's essential oils as well as the incredibly popular essential oil kits. Alexandria explained that Ancient Legacy's essential oils are of the highest quality, with highly regarded French certification, which validates the integrity and purity of the essential oil essence. Alexandria elaborated on specific uses for some of Ancient Legacy's popular blends and essential oils. To Be Well, known as an effective anti-viral and anti-bacterial, can be applied to the feet. Breath of Life can support those afflicted with the common cold and other symptoms like stuffy nose and congestion. Alexandria noted that all "To Be" essential oil blends (To Be at Peace™, To Be Happy™, To Be Loved™, To Be Well™) are non-toxic and safe for children. Alexandria suggested the use of Peppermint oil when experiencing headaches and Ravensara oil, applied to the feet, when suffering from upper respiratory issues. The Home Defense Kit™ groups many effective essential oils into one purposeful set for the home. Deep Cleanser is a strong anti-bacterial oil that can be used on cutting boards, counters, essentially sprayed anywhere sanitation is needed. Thyme Thymol, Cinnamon and Clove can all be applied to the feet to aromatically support the body's immune system in fighting flu and colds. Trauma supports the body in dealing with deep tissue issues as well as muscle aches. Tonight's call will feature Double Diamond Michael Zwerling.

Help reduce background noise, please remember: *6 to mute, *7 to un-mute. Making Meetings Fun When the average person is asked to attend another meeting during their busy day, the natural response is to run like the wind or at least fake a "scheduling conflict." It's hard to imagine meetings being considered "fun." But injecting a little fun into your meetings might be just the right thing to encourage participation and creativity. No one will be required to recite knock-knock jokes, wear silly costumes or balance a spoon on their nose, but a little laughter can go a long way towards improving productivity and your associates' morale.Try a few of these ideas: Most people learn by "doing". Whenever possible, include hands-on activities, live demonstrations, field trips, games, role-playing, etc. Don't be afraid to mix it up - variety is what keeps people interested. Bribery works! Organize contests to generate ideas and offer prizes to encourage participation. A little friendly competition can bring great results. If your meetings tend to be dominated by a few people, try passing out five pennies to each meeting attendee. Attendees must "spend" a penny each time they talk. And no borrowing allowed! Consider appointing a Director of Fun for meetings. The Director will be responsible for dreaming up participatory activities, bringing in additional fun materials (videos, comic strips, articles, snacks) that relate to the meeting topic. A different Director could be appointed for each meeting. For a change of pace, consider hosting a meeting in talk-show style. Have the speakers act as guests, attendees are audience members and the meeting facilitator can be the talk show host. The host will encourage the audience to ask questions and share their opinions on the speakers' comments. It's important to always provide attendees with an initial caveat that they're free to decide to what extent they wish to participate. Some attendees will warm up more slowly to an unconventional meeting style than others. People will participate when they're comfortable and relaxed. Remember, laughter stimulates blood flow, strengthens the immune system, reduces levels of hormones that create stress, and reduces pain perception. Happy Meetings!
