What are Bold Encounters?

Nothing great happens without other people. Bold Encounters comes after years of prescribing award-winning steps, only to discover each depends on other people. Tasks are like peanuts and great interactions like candy coatings. If you ask for just peanuts, you get just peanuts. Bold Encounters is a series of high-impact steps with interactions needed for exceptional results.

1. Discover the Ideal

Most people avoid strangers. Successful people attract ideal, new contacts to speak live. A little skill avoids rejection and brings the most innate source of joy. Envision one of a dozen successes.

2. Scout Someone in Need

Ordinary results come seated in front of a computer. Award-winners go onsite to take three new vantages. The goal: stand in someone's shoes to gain first-hand authority of a problem and need.

3. Enlist New Collaborators

The status quo stays in silos. Successful leaders enlist the right, new experts in one of three ways to win. Common connections help award-winners network just the right collaborators.

4. Experiment with the Experienced

Many people promise whatever it takes. Great leaders craft new experiences by testing assumptions first. We help teams focus on two differentiators to exceptionalize experiences.

5. Delight a Decision Maker

Most people finish with a checkmark. Great leaders finish by witnessing the delight of those who trusted. We set a cadence of accomplishment to deliver hopes and gain referrals proactively.
