Test Pilot Episode #12: A Few Ways To Address A False Rumor.
from Kristie Janel Conversations · host Kristie Janel
The first time I encountered a rumor that really hurt my feelings was when I was in college. The rumor was that I wasn't practicing music as a lead soloist during individual practicing sessions. Some of the college students in the hallway accused me of "going with the music teacher." I was very upset and angry that these individuals decided to put that on my name. It was hard enough learning the words to songs or learning songs in another language. Then performing the songs in front of large crowds or in front of dignitaries was another "performance anxiety" within itself. So in that moment I really learned that jealousy fuels rumors. I also learned that you can't control what others say about you. But you can stand up for yourself by confronting a rumor with facts....Especially if the rumor is impacting your life in a way that could cost you a job or drastically change your life in a negative way. You can survive a rumor but I wouldn't let it snowball. If the rumor is getting out of control, there are a few ways to address it. Listen to this episode to find out how. What do you think is a proper way to address a rumor?
