A very good friend told me once that it really isn't the truth that upsets people, but the delivery of it. If I or you upset someone by something we blog about or write in 140 characters because they know us, they accept it as a misunderstanding and not as something malicious or deliberate. To be able to distinguish or make judgments about someone it's always best to do so after having an opportunity to know them first. Sometimes people just don't have the time which is sad. <abbr><em>Robert "Butch" Greenawalt´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.hyperpcs.com/product_info.php?products_id=157&cPath=158" rel="nofollow">2-Port USB KVM Switch</a></abbr></em> I have experienced much and fear little.

Thanks for the reminder about the Annette Simmons book. May do a post on that later this month. :-) @Jamie, isn’t it sad we fear just communicating like human beings? *sign* We over complicate an as a result isolate the very people we want to attract.

I can't tell you how many times I swatted away potential vendors who just wanted to show me their slides and tell me who they knew that I might also know, when with the right story they'd have landed the gig! (or at least got me to call back) P.S. Don't forget about Annette Simmons. Her Story Factor is an amazing book about using storytelling in business. Great advice, Karen.
