I’m an 'email preferred' human. In a perfect world, every inquiry would come through my online portal. But the reality is that many clients reach out via phone when they are in need of connection, and that deserves a response.
Because I want to show up as my best self (and because phone anxiety is real!), I have a ritual. Before I call a client back, I jot down exactly what I need to say. I script my voicemails word-for-word.
It might seem like a small thing, but reading from my notes helps me stay grounded and ensures I don't miss important details while my brain is busy doing the 'phone call jitters.' If you’re a professional who still gets nervous making calls—you aren’t alone. We’re all just out here with our handwritten scripts, doing our best.
I hope the more I answer phones the better I get 🤞🤞
are you an email person or a phone person?
