August Greetings!

  

This month I'm pleased to announce a new addition to my communication topics lineup: 
 
 
I had the pleasure of piloting this presentation as the closing speaker at an HR Conference in Jamaica last November.  Since then I've fine tuned the topic and included input from some tech-savvy sources.  
 
In this edition of the Communique' you'll find:
  • TEXTING TEST - Prize for first 3 to reply with correct answers!!!
  • "If you can't say something nice...post it on Facebook"-TOP 10 TECH COMMUNICATION PET PEEVES

  • SAYINGS 2.0 - Just for fun...high-tech versions of familiar phrases ( For example: "Never judge an app by its icon.")  
I'D ALSO LOVE YOUR OPINION PLEASE:

"If You Can't Say Something Nice, 
Post it on Facebook" 
 
Top 10 Tech Communication Pet Peeves


"If you can't say something nice...post it on Facebook" seems to be the new misguided mantra for way too many people.  While it's great that there are cool tech tools to help us connect, we can't totally abandon the rules of real communication.   And, we must make sure not to use technology to replace real relationships.

    

I surveyed a group of tech savvy professionals regarding their pet peeves about how people misuse and abuse technology to communicate.


 

Sayings 2.0
