Did I Mention the Honesty Thing?

by Jennifer Gniadecki on July 31st, 2008

Come to find out there was someone that tried to call me from the last public speaking engagement I had.

That was two weeks ago, and I got the message this morning.

I could have blamed my lack of response on technology or any number of things. But instead, I told the truth – I forgot to open the RingCentral call center on my desktop and I don’t have it set up to send me an email of the messages because all I was getting for a while there on that number was sales calls. Oops.

I told her that I emailed her and she responded with the problem she’s had with her Blackberry and being able to receive emails. Oops.

Human error + Human error = No hard feelings

She was just pleased (as was I) we were talking now.

It’s okay to be human, and your reason for not getting in touch doesn’t always have to be a stolen laptop, lightning storm that knocked your power out, or a family illness.

You’re human. I’m human. We all make silly mistakes sometimes. It’s okay.
