A L O H A !
Always
I wanted to help
by talking,
telling,
sharing.
Ti Plants
If my show
was good enough:
EUREKA!
Lesson learned,
problem solved.
But I learned,
people only hear
what THEY
are READY
to hear.
And you can only
know
when they are
ready
by listening
to THEM.
more is accomplished
by "being there"
by listening.
When I see a person
striding across a stage
to teach or tell,
like @ You Tube
or a conference,
Something inside me
is disgusted.
"Enough experts!
Enough Breakthroughs!
Enough SALES
technique!"
Experts stand revealed
today
as deeply flawed
self-promoters.
When enough of us feel
that disgust;
When we start
listening to
all stake-holders
instead of
mere contesting,
Then the SALES
can end.
Actual solutions
can emerge.
Someday.

to redeem
the work of fools. "

ReplyDeleteWow Cloudia...
ReplyDeleteThat's sort of a Mini Rant eh?
Loved it!!!
Hucksters beware!
ReplyDeleteWise words especially in my situation. I'd love for someone to call and say, "God brought you to mind; let's go to lunch". Doesn't happen though and the last time I invited someone to lunch, haven't heard from 'em since.
ReplyDeleteGrief might as well be a leper.
Wise words, Cloudia! I enjoy catching the random person by accident, and sharing a bit of our time together. Smiling, Karen
ReplyDeleteBeing there and listening !
