If you want to get someone to consider your point of view, get them to laugh. It lowers all the defenses - all the chemicals change in the body, the oxytocin shows up instead of the cortisol. I think that’s something that we forget, on a conscious level, but when we remind ourselves to do it…it makes a big difference when you’re working with your client.” - [05:35] Arthur FratelliLinksArthur Fratelli on LinkedIn“Hold Your Head Up” by Rod ArgentThe Amazing ArthurArthur’s LinktreeTedX TalkConnect with UsRusty Vanneman on LinkedInRobyn Murray on LinkedIn
