The Gig where No one Listens

If no one listens to what you say, is it really a project you’re working on? Are you actually contributing to something? Are you a part of something? The choice is yours, work with them to get them to start listening to you, help them see what you’re trying to move them towards, or step back and out – you don’t need that ongoing frustration in your life, you have more to offer. Someone is always willing to listen and there is someone out there that wants your advice – they just haven’t found you.

The Piggyback Priniciple

The Piggyback Principle says that you ride on someone’s back or shoulders in order to accomplish a goal. You take their help, you borrow their strength, wisdom, and leadership – and you forge a path.

Your Sounding Board

A Sounding Board is someone you can bounce ideas off of. Someone you can get some advice from when what is in your head doesn’t sound right (or even if it sounds right to confirm what you are thinking). Whether it’s a project, a company, a joint venture – everyone needs a sounding board. With so much work being done remotely, we’ve lost what used to be our ad-hoc sounding boards – running ideas by teammates and suggesting new approaches to new businesses- so it might not feel like you have that sounding board anymore.
