Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet. Give me something good to eat! Remember singing that limerick?

On October 31, this chant can be heard in much of Europe and North America. The name Halloween comes from All Hallows’ Eve celebrated by the Celts in ancient Britain and Ireland. Being superstitious they wore masks and other disguises to hide from evil spirits. Thus witches, hobgoblins, fairies and demons became associated with the day. Fast forward to this century where Halloween is associated with wearing masks and costumes and pulling harmless pranks and going door to door for treats. If you don’t provide a treat be prepared for a trick! Want to see an example of a haunted corporate Halloween event? Check...Read More

Everyone is shopping online nowadays causing a huge economic crisis for brick and mortar retailers. So how can these retailers adjust to this on-line shopping phenomenon particularly in the smaller and mid-tier malls? One of the more effective campaigns that companies use is turning to their websites to push people to come into their stores and make a purchase by offering coupons on their website. The catch is you can only use the coupon for an in-store purchase. Brilliant! Ok! So, you’ve got the customer coming into the mall, but how do you get them to stay in the mall and visit more retailers? The answer my friend is offering events in shopping malls.

My education occurred in the ’50s and early ’60s. How different things were then. Teachers were held in high esteem. Parents never questioned them and most children obeyed knowing there would be consequences for bad behaviour. Over the years things have changed dramatically and quite often educators are held accountable for their student’s misbehaviour. This has caused much stress for teachers and principals. The educational system is now dealing with huge cultural differences, bullying, drugs, gender identification and negativity. In order to cope with these problems, it is found that team building activities for teachers help to inspire, motivate, affirm as well as encourage collaboration and communication with educators. Let me guide you through some team building activities not only for teachers but...Read More
