HR Communication Lesson About Simplicity

Jan 30

Here’s your HR communication lesson today. It’s something I learned in journalism school:

Say it once. Say it right. Get outta there.

I could say a bunch more, but you get the point. I’m outta here.

    Frank:

    Love it. My friend Peggy Andrews who blogs as the Career Encourager has a similar catchphrase that I love to quote-

    Be bright. Be brief. Be gone.

  2. Frank says:

    Ann…I'm going to add Peggy's phrase to my collection. That's a good one. Thanks!

    I remember college & presentations. The saying went something like this:

    Be brief, be witty, be seated.

  4. Frank says:

    Wow…I'm going to combine stuff with Ann's…lol…excellent

    In your case just be Frank.

    That is as clever as I get on a weary Friday afternoon.

  6. Frank says:

    Rick, that's a winner!

    Hmmm. A friend of mine once wrote a country song titled: “Can I be Frank with you tonight” but I guess that's another issue.

    My dad used to tell his preaching students to “Stand up. Speak up. Then shut up.”

  8. Frank says:

    Wally…that sounds like a song I should know. LOL.

    Brilliant words of wisdom from your dad. His legacy is there with you and your great advice.
