Off topic: Read Supercommunicators. Turns out that being the first person in a group to say something that may be stupid doesn't only give permission to everyone else to risk looking silly. It is a step toward cohesion. When a "Supercommunicator" is present, everyones brains fire in the same way. Seems to me that a supercommunicator is just someone who values connection over status.

I love that! It reminds me of so many work meetings where nothing got done, simply because no one wanted to admit they understood nothing the presenter said.
I'll send my copy after the second read.
And that situation reminds me of the story Im working on, and Matt's work, and an HST quote.

I love the reframe of super communicator. Makes me feel better about my er, um style haha going to read that
That publisher should put me on the payroll. Been selling it to everyone. Bought 2 copies for friends in addition to mine.
Ahhhh a fellow promoter personality. Hey! You rock ЁЯеВ
I can't help but champion the things I love.
Got to some parts of the book I don't care for, but I'm a big fan of the overall message. Already altering the way I speak with people because of it. Asking them to elaborate, and asking how they feel about the anecdotes they share.
Haven't tried asking any deep questions yet.
Is this why I swear/use profanity around people?
No. You curse to scare off the stupid people. It doesnt work.
You think? I always figured it was a kind of icebreaker.
My bad, I was projecting.
Im trying, and failing, to curse less. Would like to be a bit less coarse, but thats difficult for a grown up, barefoot, kool aid mouthed trailer park kid.
F bombs away.
