CAN-DO ATTITUDE - These words - wood background -with random splashes of red, white, and blue - modern art look
Let those who want to settle for fatalistic mediocrity settle for that. We do not have to.
Things get better if we choose to make them better.
Take your pick. Things can get worse, stay the same, or get better.

I am as suspicious of motivational speakers as I am of comedians.
If motivation is not found inside, it will not be found outside. It starts inside.
We have to make ourselves laugh.
NOTHING EVER DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER.

LOYALTY IS DEAD
YOU ARE ALIVE
No miserable wretches ever got the COMPENSATION and the title they deserve by staying at their company. They got the COMPENSATION and title they deserve by making the other miserable wretches stay at THEIR company.
I am as suspicious of motivational speakers as I am of comedians.
If motivation is not found inside, it will not be found outside. It starts inside.
We have to make ourselves laugh. Humor is subjective, anyway, for the most part.
The best way to make a good impression is to not be afraid of making a bad impression.
Loyalty turns into a monster when it's set to roam free on its own.
Loyalty must be kept on a leash.
Loyalty can be a worthy value but not when it weighs too much to carry

Anxiety does not have a destiny, so it cannot manifest and expand. Confidence and optimism are on the manifest and have direction. Anxiety is not on the manifest, so no one's loading that onto the plane, train, truck, or shipping container.

Life is like clicking on things to figure something out on a computer.
When we click on things, there's very little chance that we'll break something.
So let's click. There's very little chance we'll break anything, and we could find out how to fix something.

The process changes go into effect next month.
The process changes take place because someone does something to cause this.
Yes, that’s right.
> I’ve decided that the process changes will go into effect next month.
Note: If you are working in the US, say > I <.
My proposal is to go with the second option.
The action is more important than the proposal. You do the proposing.
That’s right.
> I propose going with the second option.
Note: If you are working in the US, say > I <.
Mediocrity and lower standards deplete energy.
Quality and a higher standard require more work, but they don't deplete energy.
Quality and a higher standard increase energy and make everything more complete.
So choose your "plete". Deplete or Complete

we get things done - nothing happens by itself - keep yourself in the picture
Stay in in the picture.
2 - The new process will be in place starting next month.
Are you putting the new process in place?
Yes.
> I’m putting the new process in place next month.
You sound more effective this way. The way we say something makes a difference.

Keep yourself in the picture.
We are the ones doing things, getting things done, and moving things forward. So let's talk that way.
1 - The report will be sent to you by Friday.
Someone has to send the report. Who’s going to send the report?
I am.
> I’ll send the report by Friday.
Every sentence you speak has an underlying message that is not part of the words themselves. Are you communicating that message when you speak?

So does your stair-talk work well for you?
Yes, it works very well. In fact, it's not limited to the stairs.
How so?
I use that talk in rooms.
So it's flexible huh?
Yes, a stair-talk gives everyone more "room" to talk whether the talk is on the stairs or in a room.

So if you don't need an elevator pitch, then what?
Like I said, I take the stairs.
What's that got to do with anything?
I've got a stair-talk.
Oh, you've got a stair talk.
Yes, that's it. A stair-talk. 😎

You don't need an "elevator pitch"? 😲
No, not at all. No "elevator pitch" for me.
Why not?
I've got a personality. If you've got a personality, you don't need an elevator pitch.

Some people think I’m “difficult”.
Maybe some people even think that you're "difficult".
That’s okay. It's better to be in the company of no one than be in the company of the mediocre.
Place your personal attitude towards what you're saying onto the words themselves.
We all have an attitude towards everything we say. To be more convincing, we must express this attitude when the stakes are high - presentations, meetings, project updates, client meetings.

We must have a way to say just what it is we want to say in just the right way.
Sometimes, it's good to do a little planning. "How am I going to say this ?"
Think about it just a little. You might just need the first sentence. And from there, it just might be easier to continue.
#communication
You've got to talk like you've got nothing to lose.
Inhibition could be just beneath the surface. People can sense this without thinking about it. Speak with certainty - no self-doubt.
Repeat key messages again and again. Eliminate doubt and inhibition. Using your voice is a skill.

I refuse to be weighted down by the weight of other people's mediocrity.
If you didn't want to know what I really thought, then you should not have asked me in the first place.
Optimism and positivity are great. But don't expect me to give you unrealistic or less than truthful answers just so that you can keep constructing delusions.
That's what some people expect.
