Wednesday Wisdom: It Can't Be Said Enough


This phrase is one that is used often, but I think it's used so often because we forget. You may produce something great, but if it doesn't match the expectations you set, then it will be seen as a disappointment.

The "Ransom Note" Plan

“Ransom note”, “ransom note format” or “ransom note formatting”: when a document is sent out to a team for each member to insert their content, usually in wildly different formats, and looks similar to a ransom note made up of letters cut out of different magazines.

Sample usage: “If I had a dollar for every ransom note recovery plan I had to spend all night fixing, I’d be retired.”

Copy/Paste is no substitute for careful planning!

Wednesday Wisdom: Listen then speak


It's true that no one wants to hear what you have to say if they feel like you aren't listening to them.

And I'm reminded of the old saying that you have two ears and one mouth because you're supposed to listen twice as much as you talk!

I think with everyone always checking their phone, too many times people fail to give a speaker their full attention. And we all know how it feels to be "half" listened to: it feels like the other person isn't listening at all! So try to give your full attention when someone is talking to you. It's something I'm definitely going to improve on.

Wednesday Wisdom: Strength and Weaknesses


I've heard before that we should turn our weaknesses into strengths, but this really made me think about how our strengths can become our weaknesses.
