PERSONAL GROWTH THROUGH ENJOYMENT

A central cross-discipline theme for every event - corporate or community - affecting work, home, or play

Enjoyment is a serious topic! It affects work productivity, attracting and keeping good staff and getting the best out of people. It's the key to maximising natural potential, identifying skills and talents and blossoming to one's natural potential.

The work ethic has a lot to answer for - not because it dignified work but because it downgraded enjoyment, leisure and fun to the status of time-wasting, frivolous and unimportant. Enjoyment of work is great - if you do enjoy your job - but even the toughest business person is now seeing more to life than money as the path to success.

When you lose yourself in an interest you enjoy, you find yourself - the real you who loves life in all its forms - at work, home and play.

Peter Nicholls is Mr Enjoyment. Peter passionately enjoys speaking on the powerful personal growth value of what he calls "The Enjoyment Factor". You are given two tasks - one you enjoy and the other you don't. In which are you likely to be more productive, creative, innovative, enthusiastic, committed, lateral-thinking? Which is more likely to lift your self esteem, self confidence, self belief and sense of self worth? The enjoyable one.

Enjoyment is much more than fun, laughter or pleasure, these being automatic responses to enjoyment. Enjoyment has far greater practical daily value to life than 'happiness' (whatever that is).

Enjoyment is

  • an experience you create
  • an experience unique to you
  • a creative expression of your true, inner self
  • life-expanding
  • a three-stage experience - planning, carrying out and reflection
  • and much much more

Look at any well-adjusted five year old child beginning school. From a gurgling baby to someone who has learned most of the basic life skills - dramatic growth in just five short years. What was the secret? Apart from the fundamentals of parent care, food and sleep, their waking time was spent playing. No mortgage, job, or an education to worry about. Children live for the moment, simply enjoying being alive.

Got you thinking? Then it's time for you and your colleagues to have me speak at your next gathering - seminar, conference, business meeting or community event.

The dignity of the individual’s natural uniqueness is at the core of Peter's speaking presentations. Peter’s 30+ years of professional experience comes to the fore. Throughout those years Peter's work has entailed observing the human behaviour of thousands of people of all ages and in all walks of life, enjoying their own creative experiences when they come alive and unleash their natural skills and talents.

With the line between work and personal life becoming a 24/7 blur, the search to understand employee behavior is now going beyond the workplace into the realm of total human behavior.
