May 31, 2006I Don’t Want to Make My Emergency Yours
Laurie needed my biography and workshop description for a presentation I’m giving for her group in September. I appreciated the way she acknowledged the last-minute nature of the request she gave me. She said:
I don’t want to make my emergency your emergency, but I need this information by morning. If that puts pressure on you, I could take the information from your website.
Meeting planners frequently “make their emergencies my emergency,” but what I appreciate in this request was that she acknowledged what she was doing and gave me an option. I gladly made her emergency my next priority.
