Foot-in-Mouth Failures
Andrew Simpson
As Ron White says, "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability." There's nothing quite so painful as that moment when you open your mouth and insert your foot in it. But when it knocks that sale that was "in the bag" out of orbit, sinks your career prospects, or ends the 10 year business relationship with your oldest client, it feels like your words took a bite out of you, too. You can't rebuild from those losses without communicating. Let's discuss the things that led to that "slip of the tongue"; learn how to disrupt yourself before, "going nuclear"; and recover from the verbal bumbling so you can strengthen friendships, widen business networks, and increase your influence.
