My mother always said that I had a special knack for “turning lemons into lemonade.” That’s something of a dubious virtue to have, because it means I’ve had plenty of opportunities to salvage treasure from trash in my life. But that is exactly what I’ve done, and will continue to do.As a leader, if you

Subliminal Persuasion Using Inflection
It is easy to assume that a sentence like "I can't promise you that price." has only one meaning. In reality, though, inflection provides much of the actual meaning. Look at the each of the sentences below, each with a different word emphasized, and followed by the implied meaning.
I can't promise you that price. (But maybe someone can.)
I CAN'T promise you that price. (There's no way.)
I can't PROMISE you that price. (But maybe you'll get it.)
I can't promise YOU that price. (But I can promise someone else.)
I can't promise you THAT price. (But maybe a good price.)
