My project hurts my heart. I had to sit through a meeting today in which our partner tore into my AC in front of our manager who did nothing to stick up for him. End of rant. 😞

I could have done a better job absolutely. I tried to wrap the conversation and move on. I apologized to him and will try to be better. 🙏🏻

That’s a really tough position. It’s hard as a consultant to stand up to a partner. I had something similar happen when I was a consultant. The client tore into the junior team and the partner pretty much threw them under the bus. I wish I had said something but couldn’t muster up the courage in the meeting. I gathered the team afterwards and apologized on behalf of the client and partner but not sure how much good it did 😞 Would love ideas of anything I could have said earlier...

We have a project that would generate social impact, and our short term goal is to propose it to ASHOKA to help us develop it. Before that we would like to assemble a team that will be part of "the board" with all the resources we are needind and most importantly people that "empathically share our preoccupation for the immigrants". Any kind of feedback or volunteer would be appreciated.
