I do about 10 focus groups a month. Range from food tastings to large group discussions to technical assessments and some are about our professional services industry. Highly recommend. It goes straight to my weekend play $$$

Gosh ! Glad you posted !
I got one of those messages yesterday & thought it was a scam 😑

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!
