So, How Do You Approach People?

November 1st, 2007 at 5:11 pm

Tucker Eskew is talking about how to approach others, both peers and politicians, on the issue of extreme poverty.

He comments that if you go in and attack people because you don’t think they are doing enough, you might just offend them. Rather, focus on the good. Focus on what we can do moving forward. Ask for something small, and spend time to show them the impact their action has.

The candidates really love seeing ONE and getting ONE bands at their events. But we need to get beyond that band and into the policy. Republicans and Democrats will focus on different things in terms of fighting poverty, but that’s ok. We just need to focus on the ways that everyone wants to help, and then encourage them to do more.
