It’s not easy keeping secrets. Too often, i am the one chirping at the office about some new move, new opportunity or new venture. I get excited and want to hear what other people think, discuss the possibilities. Usually, in turn for my giving, I get some great info back. It’s the essential basic tenet of sharing: give a little to get a little.
So, when it comes to personal moves, I can’t keep it close to the chest. Some say it’s like poker, you don’t want to show your hand, but I do exactly that and then some. With poker I talk o much, it calms my nerves and keeps me focused. I talk about the mathematical odds on the board, the cards I could have or should have and this seems to work for me. It rattles others that I am so open. They think I am lying or distorting the truth and in actuality I am pouring everything out on the table. This is the same with business decisions. It is not my style to hide my feelings and let my thoughts known. This is not typical and can be seen as weakness, but i know it opens up the conversation so we cn have deeper impact. Going to have one of these conversations today at work. Wish me luck
Close to the Chest
