What to Say and What Not to Say When Personal Life Affects Work
Having a little surgery? A baby perhaps? Taking care of elderly parents? Convention wisdom tells us to say as little as possible or to be vague because it is none of anyone’s business.

Unless you want to draw more attention to your situation, consider managing your own message rather than being vague. Today’s coaching minute helps you understand what to say and not say when you have something personal going on in your life.
