Key Takeaways: Recognize if your message has an element of pitching and avoid that. You have to be a value first before asking something from the other person otherwise they’ll be uncomfortable and will probably reject you. Instead of asking them to participate, express your desire to connect with them and why you want to. This approach works for a lot of people. Invite people into a meeting that would be the most convenient for them with no obligations on their part. Use words like open, quick, or easy and implement them into your invitation naturally. This will affect how they will react to what you say. “You need to be a value to them before they’re gonna be a value to you.” “There’s a balance to being available to people but also holding your boundaries and standards for how you work best.” “Language is so important. Our thoughts shape our words, our words shape our reality so we have to think about the language we use.” - Maryanne Dersch Be more confident, credible & convincing to your board & supporters without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work.
