Sometimes we need to S.L.T.
“Stop.
Listen.
Think.
before you speak” are words from my father. Growing up there were a number of times my dad would tell me to “S.L.T.” before I spoke or did something. And for years I carried a piece of paper with the letters SLT in my wallet.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are a little nervous before attending a meeting or making a presentation or talking to someone, the one thing which has worked for me over the years are the letters: S. L. T.
Taking a moment to collect your thoughts may feel like forever when you are taking to someone in a meeting, but I have never regretted taking the time to process what was just said before speaking or taking action.
If you find yourself in a stressful situation, being aware of the letters S.L.T. may be just what you need to get yourself out of the situation.
