It's very clear that people's morals and ethics or lack of morals and ethics as it relates to the virus as it relates to the choices that they make is a risk factor. And I think that we're foolish if we ignore it. So I'm curious what you think, what your observations are
What I found fascinating was that because now this information is highlighted, then we can use it to create varied messaging to appeal to people who prioritize different moral concerns. And I'm listening to an audiobook. My opinion is out at the moment, but it's called verbal judo, and the author was originally a cop, and so he learned how to use language and communication to deescalate things, so they've never had to become violent or never had to become tension filled

Well, it turned out that he's got some other major life issues going on at the time, and I think he reached my projection. Now he reached a breaking point and decided to use Facebook to vent on. I don't agree with his premise, but he didn't express it well, and it was morally and ethically. I think irresponsible for somebody in that leadership position to take that position and put that out

And I think it's an important conversation. I'm really glad you weighed M. I got to listen to what you said because there's a lot of good meat in what you shared there

But I took the neurolinguistic programming with the wrong intent can be very manipulative, but I took the good out of it. And framing is a very powerful technique that is definitely on the edge, close to manipulation, but I'm kind of digressing, but I'm looking forward to reading the book Verbal Judo, but the techniques described I heard you describe are called framing techniques, and they're very powerful for influencing and persuading people presuming
And so when you were talking to the guy on Facebook, it made me think of you're trying to understand his thought behind it, but at the same time, you're sort of reflecting back to him what he actually said. So you sort of had both of those things going, which produced a more desirable result, I. E. Better communication. Again, I'm not entirely sure about this book, but it does have some valuable things in there

And I think more people than I we realized, have a bit of a charge around the word of conversational leadership. But maybe before I read his book, maybe I'll outline my own because so I don't want to cross populate any ideas. Think about that
It's always a tossup, isn't it? Of, you know, concerns over cross pollination of ideas or the possibility of being inspired to have more and new ideas. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck. It sounds like it could be an exciting endeavor
