 You deserve to be heard. (Image by Stockimages) Remember the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry and Elaine were having dinner with Kramer and his fashion-designer girlfriend, a “low-talker”? The low-talker spoke so quietly that Jerry unwittingly agreed to wear her pirate-like puffy shirt on The Today Show.
Recently, at a networking event, I met a woman who was a low-talker. I leaned close to her and repeated, “Can you say that again?” and “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you,” but I still couldn’t understand what she was saying. I assumed, sadly, that she would leave the networking event without having made any connections. |
