It’s a high-tech world with ever shortening attention spans. Not surprisingly, the spoken word is being neglected amid a flurry of abbreviation-filled messages, emoticons, and transient pictures. TiffinTalk cards enable deeper daily connections and, at the same time, promote critical and creative thinking skills with face-to-face, one-on-one conversations. No batteries. No electricity. Just a few minutes of time to … Tech Off. Talk On. As the creator of TiffinTalk Inc., I am leading a growing global business that promotes conversations and strengthens relationships. What started off as handwritten notes tucked into my daughters’ lunches has grown into multiple product lines with powerful, positive, and life-changing outcomes for those who use them. See the testimonials on tiffintalk.com, or just ask the person next to you: Would you rather have a card or get a text? Not every situation is the same, but we are treating them that way! TiffinTalk currently has 3 card lines (with several more coming): • Parent - Child & Teen: cards for parents, grandparents, and educators of children from preschool through high school; • FindingYourVoice: cards for mental health professionals and their clients in private, institutional, and educational settings; • Talking Across Generations: paired cards for adult children and senior parents. Themes range from silly to serious – because no one wants to have a serious conversation every time. My kids didn’t so I designed the themes around them! Most importantly, there is always room for personalizing each card, for making the connection with that child, that client, or that parent that leads to the bigger discussion, the eye contact, the body language – the emotions that emoticons can't express. Whether you are with your child, your parent, your client … the best conversations happen because you took the time and made the effort to talk. Connect with me to learn how you can use TiffinTalk cards! Change your life!
