I particularly dislike the "look away" when I'm talking. I need to work more on not running with the topic. Great reminder. Thanks. <I><B>Laurie:</b> Hi Sami - I don't like the "look away" either. When someone does that for too long I just stop talking and sometimes they don't even notice! But I think that's more because I was talking about something really boring and should have known better... Thanks for coming by.</i> Great tips Laurie, or rather, “non-tips”!

I'm not the best listener in the world and I need to work on it. These anti-tips have really helped me to identify some of the things that I need to stop doing. Thanks! <I><B>Laurie:</b> I still catch myself clicking a pen from time to time, but at least I'm becoming aware of it. Thanks for the comment. :)</i> This is great.

A branding consultant I worked with once did the same thing regarding customer service. It was a silly exercise and one that got a lot of laughs, but it highlighted some important issues and helped our company then craft the more serious & positive list with ease. <I><B>Laurie:</b> Hi Megan - glad you liked the approach. Sometimes I have to look at what bugs me before I can figure out what doesn't...as long as I don't get hung up for too long complaining about it, that is!
