The Dessert Tray Analogy for Communication

Let me give you an analogy here. It's like me coming out with a dessert tray. They're all delicious. I'm going to explain each one and I'm going to stand back because I know you like wine. And if you're a good girl, order two, you know, and I know I've done my job and each one got its proper presentation. And if I'm confident enough to speak clearly, slowly and choose descriptive, colorful vocabulary, then chances are, Annette, you're going to pay attention to me in your attention span periods of 30 seconds. Where I can, instead of 10 minutes, it's 20, 30 second Annette calls. That's all. And I'm going to make sure that we have checkpoints, closing doors, moving forward. And I'd rather have you give me a solid four minutes than a shaky 10. I want romantic deaths on the phone where you're doing everything perfect until you don't qualify anymore. It's just... Things happen that way. InTHEknow360 podcast. Annette Atoigue Showing Love Full Circle.
