Seriously, Can You Handle the Truth?
Have you ever been in a business situation where you wished you could ask someone to just tell you what they really thought? I mean, can you really handle the truth? As opposed to getting some middle-of-the-road comment that is trite enough to tell you absolutely nothing, sometimes it’s best to hear the story straight out. You’ll probably learn something that you didn’t already know, and that information could be quite helpful in rejiggering your story for the better. That happened to me a few years ago, and I blogged about it then and still recall the event as if it happened yesterday.
Even though it’s 5 years old, I still find this hilarious, over-the-top “Truth in Advertising” video spoofing the ad making process, where people tell the complete truth, to be completely entertaining.
You can probably get your fill from the first few minutes of the clip, but I found with the actors who are just great at their comedic timing (such as the super funny Colin Mochrie), it was really fun to watch. I also wonder how many takes this took without them busting up in laughter!
Note: Some foul language is used, so take caution if you have the volume turned way up!

So if you’re seeking honest feedback, make sure to find a way to get it. And if you’re giving it, don’t be afraid to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but you might want to apply some tact in your response, unlike the hilarious actors in this video!
