Comment on CFPA: Better Financial Regulation or a Roadblock to Innovation & Service? by fallgreelry

The action taken to national disaster is awesome but it’s a real shame that so many citizens take advantage of the negative situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill – there’s always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys “angels” got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!

Another hurdle I would add to the list is “use of technical jargon”. So much of what happens in business today involves technology. Too many people use jargon and talk about technical issues when they should be ignoring the technology and addressing the issue/solution/innovation… etc…

Hi,
I’ll join the happy dance about surprising #10, but believe #6 — your idea is about you — is more on the money.

Thanks for the thought-provoking blog, Elizabeth.

Thanks, Mark. I needed that laugh.

I heartily agree with you about confidence, or lack thereof, in thought leaders. A former CEO client of mine took close to 3 years to become comfortable with expressing themselves to the outside world.

We ultimately overcame that hurdle by “circling the wagons.” Small but constant projects made it begin to feel both routine and safe for the person to communicate.

Believe me, that was cause for a “happy dance,” right there.

Congratulations for penning the first legitimate blog post to use the term “coitus interruptus.” Personally i did not think i would live to see the day, so this liberation of our language is met with great joy. Please, everyone join me in a happy dance.

OK, you may now resume your regularly scheduled blog.

I think the biggest asset to being or becoming a thought leader is confidence. Honestly, LOTS of people have great thoughts, but how many have the guts to put ‘em out there?

Thanks, Elizabeth!
