And I’ll Say It Once Again
March 2nd, 2011You’ve got to know who you’re talking to, aka your audience.
Last week, I went for a walk.
Accompanying me was Steven, my friend, neighbor and creative collaborator (including partner in crime on my holiday video – check out his new Web site), and his faithful beagle, Boris.
Boris Neuman, Wonder Dog
[I sometimes Boris-sit for Steven and his lovely wife when they don’t want to leave their beloved boy–er, dog–alone, but that’s a tale for another day, and one of the many reasons I’m so fond of them.]
It was a blustery day, complete with precipitation, including a bit of the frozen kind. When we returned to our building, James the doorman asked, “So how is it out there?”
“Horrible!,” Steven replied, making a face to match.
“Not so bad,” said I at the same exact moment, also with an expression to match.
We looked at each other.
“Hey,” said Steven, “I’m from California! What do you want from me?”
“Yep,” I said to James, “and I’m from New York. And there you have it. It’s all a matter of perspective.”
And so it is, whether you’re a CEO, a marketer, a communications consultant or a doorman.
p.s. Boris had no comment.
