Get It in Writing

So a client was talking to me about her work dynamics and she said something so clever I have to repeat it here.

Every time she has an important conversation with management,  or a client,  she writes a thank you email.  Something like - thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me about X today,  your insights were really helpful.  I've clarified that I need to do Y and Z.  I'll start doing that today.  

Or simple words to that effect - which get a written, time stamped confirmation of the talk,  and in effect,  'get it in writing'.  Most times she just gets a 'glad I could help', sometimes she gets further clarification. It's never back fired on her,  but it's a graceful way to get the conversation confirmed in writing.

They're always telling us to get everything in writing.  Here's a simple and elegant way to do so! Also - send that email to your home email as well, so you have access to it even after you leave work... 

Getting confirmations

In June I did a reading for a man who had been abruptly terminated by his company and he was understandably upset.  But the cards were very upbeat, they saw his getting back on his feet, things being as good as they had been before, that he had nothing to worry about.   

He asked about his boss, the owner of the company, and the cards were clear that that man was in a far worse position, that his pain and regret would be worse than my client's.  I said you lost your job, but you will get another one, he’s going to lose more… 

And this week he sent me a clip from the New York Post – the company has just gone bankrupt, the former boss was being sued. My client said to me that he had believed me, but he couldn’t believe how accurate I had been…

Always good when I hear back from clients and get confirmations about their readings, even when it's about difficult things!
