You initiate and set the conditions for the conversationHere’s the basics of doing a pre-frame: they will talk, you will listen to understand, you may add some wisdom, and then you decide together what comes next. Schedule people in your calendar and make sure that you’ll follow up. Give them permission to say no, encourage them to be truthful. Spend your time and energy on people who are a right fit. Your time and energy are resources that you use to give value, so you have to allocate it responsibly.  “Whoever sets the conditions for the conversation has the most influence in the conversation ”“The more decision making I put into their hands, the more likely  they are to decide what I want”“Raise your standards. Speak the truth. Put people on your calendar who really wanna be there. Let everybody else go. ” - 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. Get your free starter kit today at  www.theinfluentialnonprofit.com
