Wendy – I enjoyed the chapter. You write as you would give the presentation, which makes it come to life. A few comments, hopefully of help and interest:
1st column, 1st page – should “for ever” be one word?
1st page: 1st/3rd column both start with a new sentence, 2nd column header sentence continues. I think it would work better to have all three start with new sentences. 2nd page/2nd column as well.
Bullet point cap agreement 2nd page/1st column, 5th page/3rd column
Page 8, 3rd column “If you stay, and a professional would, then you it is your… Sentence reads poorly. (Take out you.)
Thank you for sharing the chapter with us. I have experienced the bad departure of someone, and unfortunately it happens too often. Great to have some tips on how to do it well if I need to leave a group.
Enjoy your day. Jennifer

Wendy, thank you for your advice. It went very well, several members and visitors approached me after the meetings for contacts for me in L.A.

Thank you again!

Kellie, thanks – that is something I left out.

It’s never good to give bad news to a group.
And you leaving feels bad to them.
There’s just no way around it.
They like you, and you’re rejecting them.

So use this principal:
“The easiest way to offend someone is to refuse to let them help you.”

And turn it inside out:
“The quickest way to endear someone to you is to ask them to help you.”

So you might say:
“I come today asking for your help.
I’ve decided to take your advice and follow my dream.
In California.
West Hollywood, California.
Where it’s expensive to live.
And I don’t have a job.

You know me.
You know my strength is: (list your favorite).
If you have a friend in West Hollywood, California who needs what I have to offer, I would appreciate your introduction by 3-way email.
Come to think of it, your friend needs (repeat your strength), so they would appreciate hearing from you, too.”

Eager to hear how it goes – W!

What if you didn’t get fired? You decided to leave the company and are looking for new job opportunities in a new city. Would I make my 1 minute about this?

Fabulous, Ellie. Thanks. I’ll try some out on you!
Could that be another question in the last pages, or do you think those reasons should be included up front?
Grateful, W!

1st page, col 3. whiny has no e. I’d like to see a reasonable “reason” to quit when there is no obvious reason. For example, I do my best never to lie about anything, so what would a “true” reason be that would still be acceptable, if you don’t have the major life change or too much business? Maybe there is no good answer to that.

Paul, thank you so much.

The book has three parts
1: Get In Touch 2: Stay In Touch 3: Make It Count

Each part has ‘extras’.
This chapter is one of the ‘extras’ after 1: Get In Touch.

My question is: do I begin and summarize each part AND each section?

Sounds like I should go back an refresh from Medina’s book.
Thanks so very much for your support – W!
