Many may tell you to leave your ego outside.
Others say to prepare for the worst.
Truthfully, the smartest action you can take when you walk in the door is to read the room.
Who is in it? What motivations do they have for being there? What do they need to leave the room with a positive attitude? What is the minimum you need to communicate?
No one likes wasting time.
And sometimes you need your ego in the room.
Sometimes you need to be prepared for the best.
Other times you ought to walk right back out.
Stay Positive & Read The Room Everytime
