"Debating a half-baked idea is likely to kill it."
- Kim Scott

It's WAY EASIER to explain an idea to someone who shares our perspective and expertise than to explain that same idea to someone with a different perspective/expertise.

But, people buy in for their own reasons -- not ours... 💡

So, to get buy in and move ideas forward to action, our odds of success increase dramatically 📈 if we:

👉 Consider the goals, challenges, concerns and objections of those we hope to persuade;
and

👉 Approach the discussion from the direction of how our ideas will impact those goals, challenges, concerns and objections.

Without this strategic consideration, an idea is half-baked.... at least from the perspective of the audience whose questions remain unanswered.

This episode is a great discussion about strategies to ensure your ideas are fully baked before serving. 🍰
