See if you can decipher this one...

In a recent conversation with one of my BNI colleagues, we were discussing some of the comments from one of the presenters at a Visitor Day.

My colleague shared the comment:

"I can't remember a time when I didn't feel comfortable or couldn't trust a fellow BNI member."
Yikes!!

I think he wanted to say:

"I remember several times feeling comfortable and trusting of my fellow BNI members."
Paying attention to word choice is an ongoing process.  I have been working on eradicating the "(K)notty words" for almost 20 years.

Keep your focus on raising your awareness, and create empowering alternatives.
