As expected, it took a tech support call to get the blog working, bu it appears that things are moving along now. I see a few differences from the admin end, but I hope you see precious few on the client end. Never trust when everything “should” work correctly. Been pounding the keyboard rehashing course materials. Have seen precious little in the way of presentations of late. Thus the quietness. It’ll pick up. I did work with two folks this week and in helping them hash out their message, both essentially said, “What I want to say is…” Since both knew [...] My ISP just notified me they’ll be upgrading their blog software to the new version of WordPress (yay! I don’t have to do it!) and that “this should not effect (sic) your site”. The change will be made on March 30 — they’ve given an 8-hour window, so I don’t think I’ll [...] Overheard someone tonite say, “I was in communication training this week…” My ears perked up, and I butted in the conversation and inquired as to what sort of training it was and how he liked it.

His lead-in was essentially, “I know you’ve probably heard this before, but here it is anyway…” With one statement, he took what was otherwise a good close and marginalized it and likely made it less effective for [...] Another day of presentations, more common errors. Today seemed to be the “oh, excuse me, I just made a mistake” day. If you stutter, stumble, lose your place, even start the wrong presentation, everyone listening probably already knows. You don’t need to tell everyone what you’ve done. If an apology is [...] |
