  • Whitley: Knowing who you are being presented to; your audience needs to be the right one, so you are set up for success

Goals

  • Whitley: Ask three questions to one person to get to know more about them and find a win-win-win
  • Bonus goal: Be someone else’s cheerleader

Final Thoughts

  • Whitley: Be transparent with your intentions and be curious
