August 12, 2009PowerPhrase ~ Hit the ground dancing

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

I’m vigilant about words that reinforce a hard driving approach to life. That’s why I didn’t want to say I was getting ready to hit the ground running on a project. So I reframed it to this.

  • I’m hitting the ground dancing.

Okay – it’s not perfect. Hitting and all. But I like it anyway. Might not share it with all my clients – but I will with some. What do you think?

  1. I like it a lot and will use it right away. I wish I had read this yesterday, as I used the phrase “Hit the ground running” in an email pitch to a potental new client. This would have fit her sensibilities better. Cool – thanks! Now I think I will go and hit the ground dancing!
