6e426c1 "To Disclose or Not Disclose I just saw a poster: "Dirty laundry goes here (laundry basket) not here (Facebook logo)." Online and in person, withholding personal information is a discreet way of regulating what people learn, think, and know about you. There are times when keeping it real and keeping it honest will reveal your authenticity and trustworthiness, but there are other times, however, when things are better left unsaid or locked away. Hence the term TMI, meaning "Too Much Information!" Discretion is part of "keeping it real" in professional (and self) respect." best-motivational-speakers build-rapport customer-service-quotes first-impressions-quotes speaker-susan-young quotes-by-susan-c-young relationship-quotes discretion communication-skills Susan C.

f4f2da4 The variety of political positions shared on Facebook in the 2016 Presidential Election was both entertaining and, sadly, destructive. I observed friends of a lifetime divide into different camps and sacrifice their friendships through argument and debate. As an avid reader and political junkie, I had to hold myself back from expressing my opinions or presenting factual evidence which would obliterate others' claims. Why would I jump into the fray? All it would do is hurt the friendship. Rarely does arguing political positions change an opinion or belief. best-motivational-speakers build-rapport customer-service-quotes first-impressions-quotes speaker-susan-young quotes-by-susan-c-young relationship-quotes discretion communication-skills Susan C.
