SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - THE SET UP

"So," they ask, "tell me all about…"
"So, how do you…"
Or
"So, what do you think…"

At first we are flattered by the attention, the 'ask', but then CLANG!

We are slammed by the negation, by the brush off...
It feels awful to fall into this trap. (Sometimes the process is actually called 'bear trapping'!)

Why do people play this game?
Are they really interested in your opinion or are they just manipulating themselves into an upper hand?

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN 'ASKS'

Are you really looking for information?

If not, what ulterior motive might you have when you ask a question?

What does it do for you to create this situation?
