A different kind of response to a “deer in headlights” moment

Writing about why I hate confessing and do it anyway last week has got me thinking about another kind of confession that builds trust.
Why I hate confessing and do it anyway

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the power of confessions. I don’t mean the criminal or religious kind; I mean garden-variety acknowledgments and admissions. They have a curious relationship to trust-building.
A Weekly Tip Hiccup
There’s no tip this week.
I’m tempted to fib and say it’s because the Get Real team is taking a well-planned week off.
The truth is I just didn’t get it written in time for publication today.
When I came back from my extended time off in August, I made a personal commitment to stop routinely working evenings and weekends. It’s been a month and so far I’m sticking to it. I’m also still muddling through how to make it all work. One casualty so far: this week’s tip.
Worry not, this is a temporary thing. You’ll have something substantive in your inbox next Tuesday. I just didn’t want to skip a week without saying anything. (Although I was tempted to do that, too.)
Until next week …
