Start with the person.
A name, a face and a straightforward introduction. Understand who you would be speaking with before you reach out.
The practice
Personal attention.
A clear beginning.
Before the advice, there is a conversation. Space to explain what matters, ask your questions and understand the way forward.
Begin with what matters.
A question rarely arrives on its own. It comes with a business, a relationship, a place or a plan behind it. The conversation begins there: with space for a person to explain the context.
Begin with the question in front of you. Take time to understand the person you would work with, the scope of the conversation and what a next step could involve.
