April 29, 2008PowerPhrase ~ I’ve got a lot to tell you at the meeting

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

TV shows and newscasts use teasers – short introductions to upcoming segments to create anticipation. So why not use teasers for other areas of life? Why not create anticipation for that meal you’re creating, that date you and your spouse planned or a gathering you’re looking forward to? If you do, by the time the event happens, people will be primed to enjoy it.

You can even use teasers for meetings. For example, say.

  • I’ve got a lot to tell you at the meeting.
  • I’m looking forward to us catching up on events at the meeting tomorrow.
  • I’ve been preparing for our meeting tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it.

Do that, and see if it doesn’t make for a more interesting meeting.

It certainly works for dates.
