I saw a couple of folks talking about me on Twitter. It was a little negative.
How should you respond to negative word of mouth?
Here’s what I did:
- Joined the discussion. It’s always better when critics are talking WITH you instead of ABOUT you.
- Shared my side of the story. Didn’t get into an argument, just added my perspective and let it speak for itself.
- Did something extra. It’s not about the debate, it’s about building a new, positive relationship. I sent my book to everyone involved.
The result: A wonderful, positive blog post from Christopher Stevenson, who tells it much better than me. Read it here.
Thanks, Christopher
