@wileyballard_ My wife and I are coming to the Brewers series games from Louisiana on Saturday and Sunday. We have a granddaughter that thinks you’re the best part of the Braves broadcasts. Any chance we could meet you at the stadium for a picture?
@AskTarget is your online ordering system for pickup and delivery down? I tried my order twice, it charged my circle card twice, but my order never showed up online.
@Tuggernutz87@ihatebbls But. He had already broken the plain of the goal line with possession. Made a football move, crossed the goal line. What happens after is not relevant.
Nine Places to Stay Silent as a Leader
1️⃣ In the heat of anger.
I’m susceptible to irrationality when I am mad. My amygdala lights up with far more passion than is required. My description? “I begin to kill a roach with a shotgun.”
2️⃣ If you don’t know the whole story.
In our world of low impulse control and quick reactions on social media, I am learning to pull back and wait for more details. There is usually more to the story.
3️⃣ When you feel too emotional.
Emotions are better servants than commanders. When emotions run high, I can say things that may be genuinely felt but, I will likely regret my words or tone.
4️⃣ If you can’t talk without raising your voice.
I want to be heard for the reasonable conclusions I’ve drawn, not because I force my information down their throat. When I raise my voice, I usually shut down my listeners.
5️⃣ In times of grief.
Too often, we can ruin a friend’s moment of grief by talking. Silence allows them to see you feel deeply with them and is wiser than some cliché or pithy wish you might offer.
6️⃣ If your words can offend a person.
Too often, I assume the truth I share offends others. Instead, however, it is I who offended them with my tone or choice of words. Our silence may just make them think.
7️⃣ When someone has misspoken.
This one is tough—but when a person misspeaks, a moment of silence often reveals to them their error. The awkward hush can help them rethink their statement.
8️⃣ If the topic is worthless.
Today, people frequently engage in topics that are downright ridiculous and don’t deserve our words. It’s best to remain silent, and in doing so, we comment on its hollow value.
9️⃣ If your words can destroy a relationship.
A sense of community can be damaged so quickly. In a debate, ask what you value more: the person you’re speaking with or the words you wish to speak? People are what matters.
