Los Angeles Fire Help
Although I’m no longer in LA, I lived there for 25 amazing years. While living there, I worked on committees to help victims of 911, children with cancer, and people with AIDS when it was a quick death sentence. I’ve never seen so many give so fully. Many of those same giving people of LA need help now.

Cursing In Business
💼 Cursing in business can show passion or relieve stress, but context is key. Studies say it can build cohesion, but it can also create discomfort or cross HR lines. Leaders who swear negatively or out of anger risk being seen as unprofessional. Avoid using it to criticize others—it harms workplace culture. 😌 👉 For information on my business communication courses, DM or comment "COMMUNICATE.” #communication #confidence #mindset #persuasion #emotionalintelligence #leadership #publicspeaking
Using Acronyms Effectively
💡 Acronyms can streamline communication, but use them wisely! ✅ Stick to acronyms your audience knows (like ROI) and always define them first: "Customer Relationship Management (CRM)." ❌ Avoid overusing acronyms in high-stakes or external settings to keep things clear. Clarity beats brevity—if in doubt, spell it out! 🎯 Effective communication is about connection, not shortcuts. 😊✨ #communication #acronyms #publicspeaking #communicationcoach #communicationexpert
