This week on
Inside an Entrepreneur's Lab, Chanaye Jackson discusses her experience of dealing with individuals who hijack a social media post and provides insights on professionally redirecting conversations.
Chanaye shares her frustration with individuals who hijacked her social media post, and while receiving many helpful responses, two women critiqued her request without understanding the context. Initially tempted to engage in a public argument, she instead chose to send them a direct message expressing her disappointment.
Although she admits her response may have been perceived as petty, she stands by her decision to protect her boundaries and maintain professional communication. The main takeaway is that it is important to redirect conversations politely and assertively when they deviate from the intended purpose - this goes for any employee, vendor, customer/client, or contractor.
Key QuotesProfessionally, politely, and courteously, telling somebody to kick rocks is totally fine.
