About the Author

Joe Heuer is an entertaining speaker known for his uniquely humorous style and idiot-proof approach to customer service, motivation, communication and life in general. His clients refer to him as the "Dr. Phil" of customer service.

His wife calls him an idiot savant for his uncanny recall of obscure rock & roll lyrics, although he can’t even remember to take out the garbage.

Joe prefers to think of himself as the Weird Al Yankovic of dictionaries.

His popular Daffynitions can be enjoyed in newspapers and magazines, as well as on radio and television.

Sidesplitting laughter is what you'll experience reading Business Daffynitions so make sure it's okay to laugh aloud when reading it. Experience some of the following examples:


* "Donuts: the only non-negotiable element to a successful meeting.
* Company policy: the corporate equivalent of your parents saying, "Because I said so!"
* Paycheck: the only thing you really wanted when you thought you wanted a career.
* Life: coming into the world with nothing, leaving with nothing and, in between, giving everything to the IRS."

Opinion by Reviewer:

Corporate truths you would really love to verbalize are artistically disguised in Joe Heuer's collection of humorous "daffynitions." Well, Joe does it for you and you'll be laughing aloud, and I bet next time one of these situation arises, you'll remember Joe's words and be saying them under your breath.
