Happy Thursday, everyone!

This week, Aly Walansky and I were comparing notes on some truly outrageous things that happened in our inboxes and we decided to combine them into one helpful post for our readers. These 6 examples showcase a variety of communication issues, lack of preparation for events, misuse of industry jargon, and even trickery.

We’ve kept everything anonymous of course … the goal here is to help educate, not shame. And with each situation, we provide a detailed explanation of how it could have been handled better so you can avoid this situation yourself.

So let’s dive right in … and I just so happen to be offering 30% off my annual subscriptions right now as luck would have it:

Uh oh, hitting the paywall? By signing up for an annual subscription, you’ll gain access to this article + ALL my paywalled content (including the archives!) + future Zoom sessions.
