The 8 telltale signs that people are not talking straight:

  1. dancing around the issue
  2. dumping a laundry list of concerns
  3. dramatising and exaggerating
  4. minimising and reducing
  5. withholding information, thoughts or feelings
  6. expecting others to read your mind
  7. dropping a bomb
  8. deflecting and avoiding

Read Say It Right The First Time by Loretta Malandro (2003) if you want to know how to deal with  people with those characters.

LA Annual Dinner 2018

Language Academy Annual Dinner – 27 December 2018 with Multiethnic Theme.  Alhamdulillah, everyone looked great and had a good time. The objectives are not only to gather and have fun, but more to appreciate LA staff for their hard work, to celebrate staff who are retired, and the most important is to bridge the gap between senior and junior academic staff, last but not least to strengthen the cooperation between academic and support staff. In other words, to rapatkan saf. We did it, yeay and I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the Task Force team and all involved for the briliiant job.

TALKING STRAIGHT

How to be direct and handle people who are not?  Hmmmm… a question to ponder.
