One of my favorite lines from the musical Hamilton is when Burr says to Hamilton “talk less, smile more.” So many of us have a tendency to overexplain, to give more information than is necessary, and to talk to fill what we think will be an awkward silence. Next time you’re in a conversation, try Burr’s advice - talk less and smile more. State your case, and then stop. Give the other party time to process. Don’t rush to fill in the conversation.The silence always seems longer to us than to them. #ProTip #EffectiveCommunication #SayLess #SitWithTheSilence #LeadershipSkills #ExecutiveCoaching #ProfessionalGrowth

Now begins our favorite way to countdown the year. Last night, we went to Rudolph the Musical. Tavie did her makeup and gave herself freckles that kinda made her look like a reindeer, so it was perfect. It was super cute and NOW means we need to watch the cartoon movie 'cause nostalgia. I also had two lessons and wrote a blog around their school lessons before we went. How are you kickin' off December?? #kickoff #nostalgia #funandfamily #goodtimes #mompreneurs #momsinbusiness #businessmoms #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas

Have your plans suddenly changed, and you need an easy to medium piece, and you need it digital? Look no further. We have you covered! Mr. Lee has created a modern-day madrigal as a lovely Advent anthem. Set for a cappella voices, the changing meters and tempos might seem challenging. But these characteristics are logical and roll off with simplicity and grace, adding musical interest and attention to the text. For church choirs. Easy-medium. https://lnkd.in/eESwUKAJ

I've seen alot of posts, and spoken to a fair few in the industry who had a pretty tough week last week for one reason or another.
