Do you need help?
A long time client, who has become a good friend over the years (no names mentioned but Howdy Robin D. and how’s things down Nashville way?), has recently taken a job with a new company.
When I sent her a note congratulating her on the new company and position, I of course, as any good consultant would do, suggested, “Perhaps we’ll have a chance to work together on improving proposal capabilities or if you get a ‘big one’.”
Her reply is a good example of how written communications can have different meanings.
Robin wrote back, “You’re of course at the top of my list when it comes to needing help.”
Till I hear from her, I’m going to assume she meant that in a good way.

Thanks for sharing the news about Robin, she is an amazing woman and her new employer is lucky to have her. I have to agree with her comment, you are at the top of my list when it comes to needing help too ;-)
haha…..oooo BJ, you don’t need ME to tell you that you need help! I think you’re self-aware enough to have figured that out on your own.
Barbara – thanks for the kind words!
