SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - A CASE OF THE 'SHOULDS'

How do we get ourselves into those sticky situations where we make promises that we know, or at the very least suspect, are not tenable?

And the sad thing is that when we can't come across with the imprudently promised behaviors they end up really annoyed!

  

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

PRELUDE TO A PROMISE:  GET REAL!

Before making that pledge ask yourself the following:

2)  Who am I afraid of disappointing?

3)  Am I buying time by saying 'yes'?

4)  If I need time, why not say it?
