Connections - November 2008 - (Page 23) “Lunch is a time to foster a real connection between people. It’s a time to get to the actual issue.” — Maggie Craddock She said mentally nailing down precisely the purpose of the meeting in advance is advisable because, “No one wants to feel like they’re wasting their time.” Be clear about wants and needs beforehand because, if the person feels the other is not being authentic, it will surely surface. “They can smell it on you,” said Craddock. “Let’s say, for example, you finally get lunch with Demi Moore. You’ve got to try to avoid feeling like there is a power imbalance. Lunch is a time to foster a real connection between people. It’s a time to get to the actual issue,” said Craddock. It is about getting to the heart of the matter but this can be daunting if someone’s stomach is balling up in knots. It is tough to remember to breathe when intimidated. Know what your options are?
