Apologies While Recruiting
Do you apologize while appealing for volunteers? You may not even realize you're doing it! Tricia Peach offers some insights into recognizing when this occurs, and how to keep it from happening again!
"A recent article I read stated that women are four times more likely than a man to apologize all the way through a presentation.
Those constant apologies foster distrust in listeners, causing them to be much less likely to approve whatever she is proposing. The more I thought about this article, the more I believed it.
But I have heard both female and male leaders apologize all the way through their appeals more times than I can count."
