January Greetings!

"It's official.  I've turned into my mother!"
 
That was my opening line in a TEDx Talk I had the privilege of delivering last month.
 
In this edition of the Communique' I provide a little more detail on a couple points I made in my presentation, including:
  • Familiar phrases I learned from Mom
  • One small adjustment: From bossy to better!
  • EXTRA: "How to pull rank when you have no rank to pull"  (Link to Blog post) 
I'd also appreciate your taking a moment to go to YouTube to view--and post your comments on--my 8-minute TEDx Talk entitled Lessons Learned from Mom.
 
I look forward to an occasion to partner with you in 2013!
 
All the best,

Lessons Learned
from Mom
 
Can you complete these 
familiar phrases?
  

Actions speak louder than...

 

A bird in the hand...

 

Can't have your cake and...
 

Do unto others as...
 

Early to bed, early to rise...
 

No use crying over...
 

Don't make a mountain out of...
|

One bad apple...


People who live in glass houses...


That which doesn't kill you...

       

 

WHAT DO YOU SAY?
 
 

  
Bossy                 Better!

 You better          I would suggest

 You need to        I need you to

 You will              I would appreciate
 
You should         You may want to consider

 You always         When you...the effect is

 You never          When you don't

 You can't            What you can do is
