Set clear expectations; with self and others.
She: I am upset. No one reverted to my invite. I have designed such a powerful session.
Me: So how many reverts were you expecting?
She: A few.
Me: Can I say one?
She: Not, I think six would have been good.
Me: Good, so you started with the goal of six?
She: No.
Me: And how many people did you reach out to?
She: Sent to my WhatsApp groups, around 200.
Me: And these groups have your audience?
She: No, but they could have sent it ahead.
Me: And you requested them to do that?
She: No, I expected them to.
Me: To sum up, you are upset because you wanted few people to signup for your programme because you shared a message to some people in you group expecting them to share it with others for you to get registration?
She: Kind of.
Me: You drive?.
She: Yes.
Me: So you sit in the car and start driving randomly in any direction.
She: No! I know where I want to reach and then move.
Me: And when on the road you expect everyone to understand where you are headed and help you?
She: No, they are busy with their journeys. I need to manoeuvre.
Me: And when you have to turn, what do you do?
She: Use the indicator to tell them.
Me: So, what works?
She: Clarity of my expectations from myself and others. I will define my goals and come back 😀
