Communication Tacticians Gifts

Dialogue

"Can I savor this for a few moments? The ball's never been in my court before!"

"It's a new target to target a time to reduce targets so that we'll be less target driven!"

"It's Dr. Sadie. Go ahead, caller." "Yeah, how come you haven't said 'Merry Christmas' yet?" "Oh, that’s because I was hoping to provoke everyone who’s upset about the so-called 'war on Christmas' to spend all their time on hold waiting to castigate me. That way, all the normal people who don’t think Christmas is just another chance to play the victim can open their gifts in peace." "You're welcome, America." "Why haven't you played 'Jingle Bells' yet?"

'You're good with people. Just tell him to go fuck himself.'

"It has come to my attention that there's a traitor in our midst."

'Thank you colonel we'll keep your strategy in mind.'

'Oi, do you mind, trying to speak to my colleague - two self service tills having a chat together.'

"Since you became a management consultant we don't seem to speak sense any more."

"Effective and CLEAR communication with customers is ESSENTIAL so we're going to practise drilling down to identify core interpersonal information transfer methodologies to accelerate a meaningful dialogue."

'...always surround yourself with incompetent people.'

'Man, I can't believe we didn't think of this before.'

'He's not finished his media training!'

"Ms Hathaway, I need to test my mettle. Find someone on social media who thinks they can bully me."

'Just a tip, never be the bearer of bad news - people will automatically blame you for it...'

"Are you sending your people over here to smoke in my doorway?"
