Advocacy; “What You Need to Know about What You Need to Know”
by Brice Palmer   
[NOTE: Register for the Webinar with Brice May 6 at 7:30 PM] The meeting is about to end and you are sitting there steaming about what did not get done. You know the meeting is coming to an end because you aren’t the only one in the room who is getting fidgety.
Some are even packing up their stuff.  You know what’s coming next is a lot of yada, yada yada and chair shuffling.
