Imagine this
… Someone invites you to a 1/2 hour meeting on a topic you are familiar with and an agenda that is clear
…… You spend 2 hours researching, writing down your thoughts ahead of time with 3 possible solutions and with pros and cons
……. You go into the meeting, you ask the person whether your ideas made sense and during the meeting you present your findings, discuss, debate and collaborate.
…….. What do you think the person who called the meeting will think of you? Will they be your promoter or detractor?
