Well Said Wednesday: A New Tool To Get Through Strange Days

March 25, 2020 in Message Basics

Admitting it. These are strange days, indeed. We’ve all got to do what we can to stay strong, stay healthy, and stay sane.

What better time for a new haiku?

But that’s not all.

If you’re feeling isolated or uninspired, please join me and fellow business owners for On Fridays, We Write! Virtual Co-working to Get. Writing. Done. Which is:

  • A four-hour block of time every Friday through April (and beyond?)

  • Happening between 10am PDT and 1pm PDT.

  • At the top of each hour, we launch a 45-minute writing sprint.

  • Join as many or as few sprints as you like, just jump in at the top of the hour.

We get clear on what we’re working on, I may share a writing tip or two, the timer is set and we get to writing. At 5 minutes before the hour, we regroup and celebrate getting sh*t done!

This virtual coworking is hosted via Zoom videoconferencing. I’m offering it for no cost to you, but it does require registration, which you can do here!

I’m also offering free 30-minute communication consults to anyone whose small business is struggling to know what to say to clients or employees in these changing times. This check-in lets you tap my years of Corporate & Crisis Communications experience. Just use this link to grab time on my calendar.

And, just in case you missed it:

  • My list of tips for communicating in turbulent times.

  • 5 Things I’m Focusing On Right Now

Be well and be well said!

The presumption is that there’s only one way to do it and that you must manipulate and tamp down your true voice – and your very message – to fit that form.

It’s not true.

What I had out there was a little junky, a little hodgepodge, a little chaotic. (Oh, the irony.) But also super common. So common, in fact, that I am willing to call myself out for it!

This month, I am doing some deep work within my business. I am sussing out the ways I can bring the most help, support, structure and sanity to my fellow small business owners. I am designing ways for them to embody their message, in the simplest, yet most compelling ways.

And I’m running through Sharpies and Post It’s like it’s my job! (Well, for now it kind of is my job.)

Your inner critic will tell you plainly that you’re about to embarrass yourself or that you can’t say that. It’s a shifty, narrow-minded, unhappy entity that entices you to backspace, delete and spend your writing time listening to the entire catalog of The Police.
