The strategy conversation you can only have here
I remember learning from Pat Coombe, my daughters play school teacher about balloons.
Draw a picture of a balloon on coloured paper for every significant person in your life. Cut it out and stick it on the wall above your desk.
Now ask yourself the question. Every time I speak with these people, am I inflating or deflating the balloon.
The funny thing I've noticed is that my balloon inflates or deflates in line with those around me.
