Last week we were discussing logistics for a team meeting in the office today. A colleague seemingly took offense to the mundane focus on scheduling sharing in a team chat the nation’s focus on December 7th being a day that would live in infamy and his disappointment that we weren’t treating September 11th with the same reverence. I’ll admit, I was livid at his implication. How dare he imply I don’t know the sanctity of this day. Did he not know the pit of the stomach feeling I still have thinking about watching the plane hit the second tower while on the phone with my father who was in midtown telllng him to “get out”, not knowing if he would? Did he not know the angst I felt in the following days and weeks wanting desperately to come “home” to NY where my entire family and upbringing were, and my mother saying I needed to stay in Boston so someone from the family could survive? The countless days I waited to know the status of friends and neighbors, some of whom never came home like our neighbor and hero, Steve Driscoll who sacrificed himself as an NYPD first responder to save others? And did he not know from that day forward I changed my career and life focus to prevent that day from ever happening again? The truth is, he didn’t. He also didn’t have the benefit of my perspective in the sheer beauty, luxury even, to be scheduling a meeting on 9/11 as if it were any other day. 20+ years later I can do that because the terrorists didn’t win; we did. Our nation came together as a collective to ensure our way of life endured. We were our best in those days, weeks, months after 9/11 united and demonstrating the sheer resilience of the American people. To give insight into how I view today I share a montage from comedians who helped us laugh again in the days after 9/11 and reminded us in their own way that life would and could go on. May we never forget and may we also never forget that we are our best as a nation when we come together. #911 #neverforget

The name Liquid Death and what is the reasoning/ science behind naming the brand so? People might be thinking and would come up with guesses basis their personal and professional experiences. Cut to this film, latest from the brand. So refreshing to see the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. Now here, the film is trying to show Ozzy’s perspective on what the powder would be used for. Hilarious, and not to miss the ending background music of the film. If you are a metal fan, you know what I mean and you know what Ozzy means to all of us. Lovely move by the brand to attract the older generation of US to try the product. Ending this note with a personal note: Ozzy rocks, forever! 🤘🏾 #liquiddeath #celebrityendorsements #influencermarketing Here is the film: https://lnkd.in/gew7gV6c

This made my week. Short, entertaining and most importantly spot on. It's ironic that the communication industry (who tend to preach to clients about clear communication) is so rife with jargon. I've heard passionate opinions supporting and denouncing the use of corporate jargon (in some cases it's become the language of business which makes the topic a little more complicated). I've worked at a company (HUb) for six years that was built in part with a philosophy around authentic communication. Jargon is banned and publicly ridiculed (unless you can creatively string three pieces of jargon together in a coherent sentence and then its applauded). I will say it's definitely freeing and refreshing to ignore these buzz words when writing, speaking and presenting. Makes you actually think more about what you are trying to communicate.
