Great to support judiciary, but sometimes priorities conflict. Bar can't always speak on a case that's a "hot mess." #BLI18 @FarrahFite

Responding to a negative tweet also gives you a chance to reach those who aren't as negative toward you. #BLI18 @FarrahFite

Tempting to restate question in media interview, but beware! Are you repeating, reinforcing the negative? #BLI18 @MZApoetry @FarrahFite

Often, we think of change primarily in terms of what we're going to lose, go into "silo" as if completely alone. #BLI18 @SecondCity
Know someone who just talks and talks? May be anxious about being heard, have an "unmet human need." Find ways to acknowledge. #BLI18
Have bad/ambiguous news to deliver? Be careful with body language, facial expression. Could make it seem worse! #BLI18 @SecondCity
