During a PR team meeting about time management, it was noted a recurring issue of meetings is they go longer than they’re supposed to, typically by five minutes or so.
I had a suggestion for how to have more productive meetings and typed up a decent email explaining my suggestion for improvement, my reasons for it, one concern about it and one overall realization. I was going to send the email to the PR director, but I called myself out on my action. Why in email? Why not in person?
The reason is that it’s less personal. It’s because I feared the idea would get rejected. After all, it’s easier for both of us. The director can email back saying thanks for the suggestion and that’s that. No feelings hurt.
It’s critical we notice the ways we avoid rejection, the ways we avoid being vulnerable, the ways we avoid failure and make the tough decision to overcome.
Stay Positive & Personal Is Best
