Bonnie is here today and we are responding to your questions. This is Coaching for Leaders episode 682.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing human potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders and I'm your host, Dave Stophiac. Leaders aren't born, they're made.

And this weekly show helps you discover leadership wisdom through insightful conversations. And a few times a year we open up the episode to your questions.

If you have a question that you would like us to consider for a future Q&A episode,

I hope you go over to coaching for leaders.

Com slash feedback. We would love to consider it and I have back with me Bonnie for

helping me to respond to some of these questions today.

Hello, Bonnie.

Hey Dave, thanks for having me back and thanks to everyone

who's written in with these questions.

I do need to tell you that the other day my friend called me Dave and she said we've been friends for a long time

she says this is the first time I think I've ever listened to your voicemail and she said you do this

really I don't know if she said weird but she said you do this really, I don't know if she said weird,

but she said you do this thing.

And I already knew what she's talking about before she even tells me,

and I'm trying to explain to her.

Yes, it's part, pause, punch, something, something, it's a Dale Carnegie thing, and so I think

listeners may benefit by having you share briefly about how we may, you know, on our voicemails or when we meet someone or when we're on a

podcast, how we might share our name to increase, I don't know, I think it does a few things

for us, to increase our our the ability they might have to remember our name to understand it to make those early connections.
