Reader input suggested it was time for more ‘Phil’s Faves’ – comments you would hear often in one of my presentations or workshops. Thanks for asking …
- The only thing worse than a bad workplace meeting is a great meeting that didn’t need to be a meeting. It should have been an email, memo, phone call or face-to-face conversation.
- ‘Perception is Reality’ with audiences. All they know is what they see and hear. If you look and sound like you’re comfortable and competent with your presentation, you are.
- Project uncommon courtesy with every outgoing phone call by saying these five magic words within the first 10 seconds – ‘Is this a good time?’
And … true to my rant about always identifying the context of people you quote:
