Have you ever had someone cancel or postpone a meeting with you at least three times in row?
And you may not be seeing the full picture.
Here are three proven strategies for coping with people who are not respecting your time:
1.
State your assumptions to clear up any miscommunication.
I also take it to mean that this collaboration isnt important to you.
This way, you shift your focus from blaming the other person to seeing what you might learn.
Ask yourself, Hmmm, how am I contributing to this?
A great way to open yourself up to this inquiry is to do a reversal of your current belief.
If you have the belief Cheryl doesnt respect my time, try that same sentence on by reversing it.
For example I dont respect Cheryls time.
Ask yourself, Hmmm, in what ways is this true?
Ask yourself, Hmmm, in what ways is this true?
Either way, the pattern will shift.
The only way to shift a pattern is to choose differently.
If you keep doing what youve always done, you will keep getting what youve always got.
We are constantly creating our own reality in life and in business.
Ive come to the conclusion that we are not meant to collaborate at this time.
And I feel better already!
