For example…
Thursday, February 28th, 2008When I write, I think I’m fairly adept at writing examples of whatever it is that needs to be illustrated. But when I’m speaking, for some reason, all bets are off.
Last night at a networking event, I proved, yet again, that I just can’t give examples extemporaneously in a conversation. Or, more accurately, I can’t give good, clear, enlightening examples. I saw that look that my conversation partner’s face; and I knew I’d just confused the heck out of him. I hate that feeling.
When talking about my business, I’ve got examples in my back pocket, ready to go. Just so I don’t have to worry about coming up with one of my wonderfully obscure and perplexing examples. But other kinds of conversations can trap me.
Have you found some sort of challenge, or something that makes you cringe, in your networking or conversations? It’s not possible that I’m the only one who’s got a bugbear like this!
