But, what is a manifesto? I eagerly research its history & origins. (Because I'm a bit of a nerd.) I look for references in popular culture, art, and theatre. What format does a manifesto take? Should I be numbering each point or designing something cool and graphic-y. (New word, "graphic-y") Who needs a manifesto? Me, certainly. My business. Your business. Politicians. Churches. Teams. (Can I convince my boyfriend that we should write one for our future?)
So, while I work on the answers to these questions and more in my next post, I'll take a stab at my manifesto for BetterBridge Strategies, LLC.
Feel free to comment or question these...
- Always take the meeting.
- Look for the unique story.
- Listen thoughtfully and be present with each interaction.
- Ask "why" and "why not."
- Cultivate relationships with a humble, willing heart.
- Infuse a little bit of “me” in each project.
- Be patient – plan my work & work my plan.
- Find the funny. Laughter is infectious.
- Take a risk. Fear not.
- Give unselfishly of what I have learned; I cannot take it with me when I'm gone.
Stay tuned for more.
