Memorable traits

I once knew someone who never used contractions in speaking. It was never, “It’s nice to see you.” It was always, “It is nice to see you.” Never, “How’s it going?” Only, “How is it going?”

It was unusual and quasi-robotic, but it was memorable. Specifically, it was one of her memorable traits. Many people knew this about her.

Do you have a particular way of doing things? A way that you show up in the world that’s characteristically yours?

Of course you do.

It’s not something to ignore. It may even be something to elevate.

But first, we have to recognize it.

What’s so you about you? What makes your voice your voice?
