Full transcript here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sensory-marketing-time-covid-barbarian-lex-mckee/ When touch is under pressure during the COVID Crisis (or the China Crisis - sounds more like an 80's New Romantic Band), how can we purposefully harness the other senses to create an amazing customer experience? Sensory Marketing comes to the rescue.

RETURN TO SENDER I’ve just heard a phrase in a video from The School of Life that may be one of the most profound truths I’ve ever encountered… if it really is true. “An inner voice always used to be an outer voice.” The sentence comes from a video entitled, “Overcoming Bad Inner Voices,” a theme we often address here on Moodscope. https://youtu.be/gGuZVuUBeiQ Why am I so excited by this? The lady...

This is the Podcast version of today's blog for Moodscope: https://www.moodscope.com/blog/essentially-uplifting Here’s what the following five scents are supposed to be associated with. Lavender = calm, easing anxiety. Lavender at bedtime is reckoned to help some of us sleep better and feel more energised the day after. Cedarwood = stress relieving. It may even boost performance and productivity....

Boo - an extended version of the blog to be published on Moodscope.com on 25th May. I hope you didn’t jump… for I mean, “Boo…” as in, “Boo hoo,” - crying, not as in, “Boo!” (Like in some ScoobyDoo thing!) When was the last time you had a really good, unrestrained cry? A proper sob? You’ve heard people say, “Go and get a proper job,” well, I’m talking about having a proper sob. I’ve read the unwrit...

Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash Playing Tag I’m told it is Mental Health Awareness Week. I smile at this because for me every week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Perhaps they’ll begin selling Greetings Cards. Putting my cynical self to one side for a moment, anything that raises awareness of the most enduring plague ever to afflict humanity is welcome. Most welcome. Maybe there's some relief t...

The easier way to productively move from an idea through to monetisation or other recognition of the value of that idea is to follow three steps: 1) Get Inspired! 2) Wait for the Motivation to fuel the activity you'll need to invest to develop the idea into a viable product or service 3) Take that action! Following the AIM Cycle in this order may be pleasant, but it would crush many projects befor...

It is like a black curtain that goes almost the full length of one wall. Blackdrop was a spelling mistake but one I like. I like the spelling mistake because this black backdrop – this blackdrop – conceals a secret....

You don’t need to watch any of the links that follow to get the messages: “You don’t need to be outstanding…" “Ordinary is close enough.” "Lead a life of cheerful desperation, and all will be well…" Links for the brave… If you want to walk free of the PRESSURE to be Someone Special, start listening to Alain de Botton (School of Life on YouTube – the 8 rules are hilarious https://youtu.be/1JCJVaK48...

Can you find 'treasure' in work you hate? Only if you put your heart into it! Working wholeheartedly is what the ancients suggested was the pathway to passion - discovering a passion for work you just can't stand. Of course, it helps to have a powerful 'Why'. Mother Teresa saw beyond her 'work' to the One Whom she loved most. You may work hard at a pointless or meaningless job IN ORDER TO serve yo...

Quoted from the blog on forgetting being good and choosing to be great instead... I’ve made a commitment. I’ve realised I’ll never be the ‘good boy’ I thought I ought to be, but I can become ‘great’. I didn’t vote for Boris, and I’m pretty sure he’s not a good boy either, but he’s becoming a great leader. President Trump has certainly got an interesting history that would probably preclude him fro...

Final part of three on the subject of Motivation and Motivational Forces. Recorded on Easter Sunday, the theme flows into an offer from the Resurrected Jesus. Motivation is an 'inside job' - and I suggest there is a limitless Source of constant refreshment available to those who are thirsty.

This is part two of what...

Are you living with feelings based on your vision of the future? I was! And because my vision wasn't a happy one, I wasn't feeling happy! Fortunately, I caught myself and interrupted the sinking thinking. Instead, I sat down and typed out 100 ways that my future could be better. Some of these were major changes to my circumstances, and others were tiny beneficial shifts. Well, folks, "shift happen...

A locus is a person, position, or place where something occurs or is situated. Jesus is the locus of focus where miracles occur and where the answers to our prayers, our dreams, and our desires are situated. In Him, ALL the promises of God are answered, "Yes!" and our, "Amen!" is shouted to the glory of God! [2 Corinthians 1:20] In these words of encouragement, we share how there are three loci of...
