I train people on how to speak (to executives, during a presentation, with clients) all the time. In my line of work, a client can end a contract if they don't like engaging with my team - so it is pretty relevant to the job.

Surprise! Mayonnaise!

Sadly, I do not. And the fact that your Teams notification is giving me anxiety probably means I could use some recommendations too.

That's a weird way to pronounce foreign agent.

English is a beautifully confusing language.

I used to live about 10 min walk (uphill) from a grocery store, but would drive if I needed to buy a full weeks worth of groceries. If it was something small, I would walk.

Wonder what percentage negotiated a raise for their return. As a fellow worker, I hope all of them got hefty raises. As a tax payer, this is easily the stupidest use of money possible and Elon should be fired for gross incompetence.

Btw, this look would be after I put time into my makeup and hair.

A conversation should go back and forth with questions and comments. Your text example was one person doing their part, but you did not do yours. Calling it "dry" was pretty kind of them. This is unfriendly bordering on rude.

 
 
 
 
 

My son (10 yo) has a few very strong interests that he talks about pretty much nonstop. We haven't discouraged any kind of talking because he was quite delayed. However it has come to my attention that his narrow focus on these topics can annoy his peers at school. I don't want him to feel ashamed about his interests, but I also don't want him to be ostracized at school. I'd really appreciate any thoughts this group may have on how to handle (or not) this situation. TIA!
