  • "Tim Mulvaney has been an incredible resource"
    "I know I've mentioned this in this past but wanted to reiterate once again more formally. Tim Mulvaney has been an incredible resource to the Affinity Groups. He has really ignited our initiative and he has been instrumental with helping us put together an action plan, implement it, and ensure there is a coordinated effort amongst the groups. He continuously prods us and gets on all of our busy calendars to make sure we keep moving forward. He does all of this with constant enthusiasm and a can-do attitude." Affinity Group Leader, Director, Financial Services Provider
  • "What Courageous Conversations did for me"
    I attended two of the Courageous Conversations seminars recently. Your seminars provided me with balance and the tools I needed to realize a career decision. I just wanted to thank you and to let you know this. Your seminars really helped me to think this decision through and weigh all of the possiblities. They also gave me a fundamental insight into the fact that I can engage in a courageous conversation not only with others but with myself. Thank you for helping me to muster the courage to change an unworkable situation and the courage to explore new challenges. University Employee

...'cause you may have a small fit"

PodcastJake is the project's leader. He need to let Randy, his boss know that the budget and the deadline will slip. Randy is not known for being open to this kind of news. Jake’s challenge will be to make sure he does know, does understand the situation and especially what help Jake needs to get back on time and budget. (13:06)

Lessons Learned:

  • Setup a meeting - Find a time - asap - that works for the two of you.

  • Have alternatives - Walk into the meeting with 2-3 things Randy could do.

  • Stay on task - Can easily degenerate into blame rather than fixing the issue.

  • Take responsibility - Jake is the team lead. It is his job to stay on budget and time.
