Chapter 12: White-Collar, Black Belt: Criticism Prism: (Let's Put a Smile on Your Workplace Face)

Howdy Podience, for those who reside in Texas.  Criticism can be an indelible blight if you allow it to consume you. Instead, I offer a philosophical prism that you can apply to any criticism that may trickle down to you at work, or in life. Laugh! Laugh d*** you! Laugh and let that laughter heal you with its intrinsic medicinal properties. The Joker got that part of his teaching correct: LAUGH away all deconstructive criticism. We will discuss the different types of criticism, how to keep out of the penalty box while keeping your emotive feelings in check... and a shoutout to my dear compadre, Clint. A myriad of movie connections to my examples and, of course, an electrifying jolt of positive Falsetto Prophet to your ear drums. Our social contract is one where you promise to listen well, and I make each Chemohawk dose worthy of your unmolested attention. Laugh Podience-- laugh until your tear duct leaks and aches tingle your cheeks. Unwind, with me, the daily grind. -Falsetto P.S.
