Mark Twain is famous for his thoughts on regret;
“If you must be regretful, regret what you didn't do, not what you did. A man lets too many smiling opportunities pass him by."
When it comes to communications, never a truer word was spoken.
I know the regret of not saying something in the moment, and never catching the opportunity again.
To return there now, my words might feel hollow and redundant.
When it comes to important matters of the heart, find a way to express yourself!
But social interaction can be exhausting!
And that’s where I come in. I help people express what they feel.
The men (and women) who work with me seek to hear and express their thoughts clearly. My job is to listen for their true expression, capture it and express it back in written words.
Typically my clients fall into one of two categories:
1. they’ve said too much and seek to attend to the communication and relationship better or,
2. (more typically with men) they have never got around to expressing what they want to say.
Far from “putting words in their mouth,” the role of the Postscript facilitator is to listen. The secondary role of writer is to let those precious ideas be expressed in a way that can land to achieve the desired intent.
P.S. With Valentines Day fast approaching, take this opportunity to share and listen carefully to those you love.
(And if you need a clearer channel to think through and express what is on your mind and in your heart, reach out).
