When I worked in banking, everyone was a quick call away.
If my New York-based client had a problem with a deal in Indonesia, I’d call my colleague in Jakarta.
My colleague would pick up.
We’d solve the problem immediately.
Money never sleeps.
Years later, when I worked in corporate strategy, sometimes my manager would reach out:
“This is an emergency. We need to talk.”
I’d write back: “Sure, anytime.”
“Find a time in my calendar in the next 2 weeks…”
😮
That’s when I realized most folks schedule time to talk.
But here’s the thing…
I still don’t.
👉🏽 This is how I avoid 99% of meetings.
(And maybe so can you.)
