He said a friend gave him some advice that he uses to this day before he enters a meeting. One should enter a meeting with ideas, visions, and perhaps opinions but <strong>not <\/strong>decisions. If you enter with decisions is it really a meeting? It could be a meeting if you are in control and just making people aware of new policies or changes. However, if it is a meeting of the minds, it looks quite different, instead there is brainstorming, sharing of ideas and intense listening before any decisions are made. <\/p>\n<p>As a person who has owned her own small business and is a little Type A personality, I have always entered meetings with decisions I have made ahead of time. Truly considering this advice changes my whole mentality. Now, I consider my ideas, and visions but also consider that others may have more to add, true collaboration, and I need to stay open to different ideas. Then we should each process the information and meet again to make decisions. Try it and see if it changes your mentality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some advice we could all use&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":19367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1921,1736],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19363"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
