August 9, 2006Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say
I work with a gentleman that sometimes has trouble communicating to people. He is an extremely nice person but the way he would come across to people was accusing, scolding, etc. He is a friend of mine and we talked one day about this. I suggested to him to use the technique I learned from Meryl Runion… say what you mean, mean what you say, but don’t be mean when you say it … he would be surprised at people’s reactions. Several months have passed. He came to me last week and said I just wanted to tell you, it is working! I said “What is working?” He told me he thought a lot about what I said to him and he was applying it in his everyday conversations. I was still confused. The he said I am “Saying what I mean, meaning what I say, but I am not being mean when I say it!” and I like it! So see Meryl, not only did I learn from your class, I was able to help someone else apply it in their life’s too. Thank you from both of us
