June 9, 2009Poison Phrase: Communication month euphoria

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week,Uncategorized by merylrunion |

I recently received an email that started like this:

- June is here! I’m excited! Can you tell? I’m excited because June is communication month.

My first thought: Either she’s hyping and writing inauthentically, or she needs to get out more. I can think of a lot of reasons to be excited about June, but communication month is not one of them.

My second thought: What else was she hyping about?

Avoid making remarks that don’t pass the smell test.They weaken your credibility.

  1. Does this also mean that all other months are NOT communication months? What happens during the other 11?
