Recently, I was in a big meeting of where a large discussion was taking place in front a town. There was so much outrage and many people angry at the situation among the committee members. The lady who was beside me was attacking the committee member in question. I wanted to listen to the whole meeting and be quiet. when the lady beside me was yelling at the committee, the committee was loking at me and seeing I wanted no part of it. How can you burst into anger in front of everyone there and develop trust with everyone.

I was not there for the committee member issue. I was there to build rapport with those people in a calm and respectful manner. In saying what you are saying, speak with meaningful purpose. Listen before you speak to understand their point of view. I was very patient in waiting for the right time to speak since I wanted to be heard correctly. Opportunities don't normally pop right in the place in going to a new place. The communities have to see you as an asset and upstanding person to respectfully honor. Keep on going and reaching out. You never know until you opportunity will come since they are thinking about you and bring a stronger relationship in building trust.
