Invite one key player to an affirmation session:
— Dan Rockwell (@Leadershipfreak) January 24, 2019
1. Clarify mission.
2. Honor their character/skills. Be specific.
3. Ask how things are going in their area.
4. Ask how can we help.
5. Discuss their future.
6. Make NO suggestions
7. Say thank you.
When writing for mainstream audiences, remember that there is a balance to complexity of character and story. The simpler and easy to understand your story is, the more complex the characters need to be; the more complex your story is, the simpler your characters must be.
