Last night was the pre Broadway premiere of Purple Rain. Sharon Nelson, Prince's half sister, stepsister, was invited to be interviewed on the purple carpet. Producer says she used low accountability language to get her there quickly.
To risk to say that I know something and I want you to say it, too, is part of the formula for how this Cadre sphere works. To say that our experiences, our professionalisms are something that may be beneficial to someone else is something a lot of people silence.
Last night was the pre Broadway premiere of Purple Rain. Sharon Nelson, Prince's half sister, stepsister, was invited to be interviewed on the purple carpet. Producer says she used low accountability language to get her there quickly.
I invite you today to consider how you can maybe shift some of your language from low accountability to high accountability. If you're in Minnesota between now and November 23rd, head downtown Minneapolis and check out the pre Broadway world premiere of Purple Rain.
Hit that alarm clock, y' all it was 7:45 or 7:30 all of us were ordinary Compared to Cynthia Rose. She always do the back of the line smile beneath her nose. Morning, Mel. Hey. Speak wonder every single day if you ask what you have the best this is what she'd say Starfish and coffee stick with syrup and jam Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine in a side odor of ham if you set your mind free, baby, maybe you understand Starfish and coffee make a syrup and jam Pause. Name that song. Anybody. You know that song.
I'm gonna pause for a second and see if you can figure out what that song was. Triple B, Mel Myers, SMZUB Speak wonder Good morning. Good morning, all y'. All on this Thursday. C. if we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now and the Cadre sphere. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know some things and I care about you. One of those four that may sound like, yeah, we're all glad that we're here and we care about each other.
But to risk to say that I know something and I want you to say it, too, I know something is part of the formula for how this Cadre sphere works. Hey, Emily. Hey, Matthew. Good morning. Good morning. To risk to say that our experiences, our professionalisms and our pureness, the lived things and the learned things, are something that may be beneficial to someone else is something that a lot of people silence. And part of the reason why we silence those things is we're afraid to say, well, this may just be me, but that's the point.
In the Cadre sphere, we say that we're going to bring together people who have things that they know, whether with their heart, their head, their experience, their professionals and their peerness, and that those things may help someone else in lots of different ways by going, you know what? I'm going to try that thing or I'm going to remember that quote, or I'm going to follow in the footsteps of or, huh? You know, I just heard someone say X and I really believe in Y, or, you know, I tried X and X doesn't work for me, so I'm going to try Y, Z, A, B, C, D and E.
We always are going to tell you that there's many ways to being well, rather than a lot of the world that says, here's the three things you have to do, and if you don't do them. You're doing it wrong. So, yes, I mean it when I say that I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know some things. And I care about you. You know some things, too. So thank you for sharing those today. The song that was playing before Starfish and Coffee, Maple Syrup and Jam is maybe a deep track. I don't know if it's a deep track because it's my favorite song by Prince.
Minnesota's very own. Last night in the state of Minnesota, in the city of Minneapolis, the pre Broadway premiere of Purple Rain, the musical took flight last night and I was one of the associate producers helping the big night come to life. There's a lot of stars in town. Spike Lee came walking on by, lots of, lots of Minnesota royalty. And then all of a sudden we saw, well, we heard that someone saw Sharon Nelson, Prince's half sister, stepsister, on the other side of the building. Now, I was running media, so I was finding people to be like, hey, come on over and get interviewed on the purple carpet.
And to go ahead and literally have Prince's sibling in the house on the night that Purple Rain turned into a musical would be a really cool interview. So we ran down the corridor the other side of LaSalle Plaza and we're like, hey, Sharon, it's so great that you're here. Would you be willing to be interviewed? And Sharon is like, yeah, that's fine. That's great. Spike Lee said no, but Spike Lee was very happy and very smiley and all the things. But it's just weird to go and see Spike Lee walking, walking towards you.
But Sharon said yes. Now, Sharon was not the fastest of walkers in the world. So I ran down back to the media station to say, hey, Sharon Nelson is on, is on her way and excited to be interviewed now because I do a lot of work in the accountability space. We talk about low accountability language and high accountability language. I'm in this world a lot, so I'm thinking about it. But normally someone in my space would say, yep, she's on her way. She'll be here soon. That's low accountability language, meaning if the media are like, okay, we're live streaming, we're on.
We know we have two minutes until we go to break. And then we have this in three minutes. And then in four minutes and 45 seconds, we have this. If they hear someone like me say, hey, yep, she'll be here soon, that doesn't soften their anxiety. That doesn't lower their stress. Of going soon meaning an hour from now, soon meaning 15 seconds from now. So I said, hey, Sharon's going to be here in three minutes and she's not the fastest of walkers and there's lots of people and she's coming down from the other side of LaSalle Plaza.
Three minutes and she'll be here. And all of a sudden you can see all the media people go, got it. Three minutes heard. I invite you today to consider how you can maybe shift some of your language from low accountability to high accountability. Let's say your spouse, your partner, your child says, hey, mom, dad, colleague, are you going to go pick up that thing that I need for my project? If you go, yep, I got it. That may make them go, okay, thanks. As opposed to if you say you. Yeah, you know what, I'm picking it up after work today.
I'll have it home by about 6 o'. Clock. You'll see their shoulders fall out of their ears. Yep, I got it. Oh yeah, sure. Uh huh. All of that's low accountability language. Now your intent may be, I'm affirming, I'm letting them know. Provide them the specifics that you have and you will see a whole world change. My job last night was to help all of these people who are walking in to see something that they think is going to change their life, that reminds them of the lives that they've lived and the music that's accompanied it.
Their hope was last night was going to be something they could experience rather than something they're going to have to figure out. And they got that because a lot of us are exercising high accountability language. If you're in the state of Minnesota between now And, I think, November 23rd, head downtown Minneapolis and check out the pre Broadway world premiere of Purple Rain, the musical. The music of Prince, Maple syrup and jam, but scotch clouds and a tangerie and a side or of ham if you set your mind.
Have a good one, y', all, we'll see you tomorrow. I want.
