Let’s Be Honest

This is last in the Coronation #LetsBeHonest conversations that we’ve been having all week - from office talk, to small talk, to sweet little lies, to the things said by both men and women which may mean something completely different. Next time anyone says, “We must meet for coffee sometime” or “No offence but” or “I’ll be there in five minutes” - send us a wink. We'll both know exactly what they really mean. So, let’s just be honest. Say what you mean and do what you say - that is the core of integrity! Brought to you by Coronation - an authorised financial services provider.

Men are from Venus and women are from Mars? Do you think this is true? When she says “I’m fine” or “We need to talk”... what does she really mean. And when he says “I’m not ready to be in a relationship” or “You deserve better than me,” he actually means something completely different. Join Gareth, Phumi and Siya as they unpack some of the intricacies of the common phrases used by men and women when they talk to each other.

Haven’t we all said it - "I’m almost there!” and "This signal is lousy, I’ll have to call you back." Gareth, Siya and Gord continue the conversation about the words and sayings we use which are a bit of a stretch from the truth sometimes. That’s why when it comes to investing your money, Coronation takes everything into account – both the seen and the unseen - so your money can work better for you.

When people say “That’s very interesting”, what does it actually mean? Chances are they either don’t know how to respond, or would prefer not to tell the truth. Gareth and the team share more of the social niceties we all hear in everyday conversation.

When someone asks you how you are or how your weekend was, do you think they really care? What is said and what is meant are likely to be very different things. Gareth and the team delve into some of the small talk and social niceties that are all too familiar in our business and social circles.

Don't you hate some terms that are used in the office simply because you don't really know what the person saying them means? Terms like “With all due respect”, “Shout if you need anything” and “I hear you.” Gareth and the team discuss and laugh at these.

Why do people say, “We should have coffee sometime” when they don't really mean it? Without honesty there can be no trust to life - that's what Gareth pointed out when he recently spotted a new Coronation billboard. He and the team start discussing some terms that we use in everyday life, but don't really mean. Brought to you by Coronation - an authorised financial services provider.
