Rise and Shine on Aug 7 (what’s unraveling are those relationships that have outlived their purpose. This is a good thing), Aug 10 (toss foregone conclusions aside, treat circumstances as a work in progress and you may get somewhere), Aug 12 (call time out with a colleague or client and talk about what ails.  It’s compassionate plus it makes good business sense too), and Aug 14 (it’s clear that someone isn’t going to be able to keep his part of the bargain.  Cut ties now and you’ll effectively protect what’s at risk)

Duck and Cover on Aug 8 (avoiding a sensitive topic calls attention to it. Just speak your mind), Aug 9 (make sure that you and your client are on the same page. You may have jumped ahead in the story), Aug 11 (the other party isn’t going to wait any longer.  Yes, the offer is less than you wanted, but you can’t afford to pass it up), and Aug 13 (take a setback in stride. Humbling experiences are good for the ego. They also reinvigorate your fire and drive)
