I don’t tell people “thank you for your time.”
Instead I say, “thank you for investing the time in me/with me.”
Are you using people’s time to get off the hook? To make your life easier? Or are you using their time to learn, to give back 10-fold, to help you do the work in a new way?
It’s not just wording something differently, it’s thinking about things differently.
When you acknowledge someone is investing in you, you’re bound to do work that matters.
