Better Said In Person

Thanking someone in a slack can be perceived as sarcastic.

An apology doesn’t resonate as much in an email than in person.

Saying “I love you” may check a box if it’s in text format, but it’s a world of difference to say it face-to-face.

Giving candor to a colleague will lead to performance changes faster if it’s done via a Google meet than through a written performance review module.

Funny how this list could go on and on; and it’s all the important stuff.

Stay Positive & Which Scenario Are You Opting For

p.s. the exception here may just be a handwritten note mailed. That sometimes carries more impact than something said in person. Oh, the irony.
