Don’t Be A Ghost

Speaking of communicating….

You can dress up like a ghost for Halloween.

But don’t be a ghost in real life.

A good rule of thumb…If you have to deliver bad news, then tell them in person or call them. Don’t do it over email or text. Or worse, ghost them.

And if you’re producing something and people aren’t getting back to you…don’t freak out, don’t get upset, don’t take it personally. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Breathe.

Then, calmly reach out to them one more time. Let them know you haven’t heard from them after several attempts, that you’re concerned, and that you do need to hear back. Even if to just let you know that they’re okay and they received your message.

At the same time, start thinking of a contingency plan. Hopefully it’s just a minor communication blip and you won’t have to engage in this plan B, but either way, you’ll feel better because you’ve taken action.

P.S. – This scene. And this music video. “I ain’t afraid of no ghost.”
