Mooing Like a Cow can Make you Live Longer!

BRADFORD ON AVON, England, December 14 - This is the advice Gavin Aubrey of Think Training & Development gives to
his trainees. Mooing like a cow can make you happier, increase motivation,
and even make you live longer! This is just one of the practical approaches
he and Wendie at Think Training & Development use to help demonstrate that
people can control the way they think and therefore control their motivation,
happiness and success.

Gavin and Wendie specialise in communication skills
( www.thinktd.co.uk/communication-skills.html ) training,
leadership programmes and Myers Briggs courses. Whilst many companies spend
their training budget on knowledge and skills, research actually suggests
that success is based on 80% attitude and 20% knowledge and skills. Gavin
says "True success is about having the belief and positive mental attitude to
achieve your goals." So why do companies not invest more time in motivation
training? Probably because they never thought attitude could be developed.

Using Gavin's techniques, individuals can unleash their full potential
and achieve personal success. He says "Mooing like a cow demonstrates how you
can control your motivation and success." He continues "What makes the
successful, successful? Is it education, good looks, luck, length of service?
Look around at the people you class as successful (if you feel successful
look in the mirror). Are they better looking, educated to a higher standard,
had a lucky break or just been there forever? Probably not…what sets them
apart is their attitude."

For his next exercise, Gavin uses another technique. He explains "Close
your eyes and imagine half a lemon in your hand, notice the texture and
contour. Now bring the lemon to your mouth and take a bite." He continues "If
done correctly, everybody experiences some sensation of biting a real lemon -
saliva in the back of the throat, pulling a funny face. But why? The lemon
was never there. Your brain is a magnificent creation, unfortunately we were
given limited instructions on how to use it, and therefore we usually live
our lives on what has happened rather than what could happen. If your brain
can taste a non-existent lemon you can develop attitude."
