October 27, 2009PowerPhrase: We’re experiencing a disconnect
Roger and I are working on a creative project together. In the past, we’ve shot off ideas and impressions to each other continually as the brainstorming process evolves. This time, he was not responsive. I knew he was under pressure to complete other projects, but I kept sending him info as things changed on my end so when he was ready to move forward, he would be working with “the latest.”
I was a bit discouraged when Roger sent a request that I send him everything in one email, and proceeded to ask questions that even a scan of my previous messages answered. I also was discouraged that his response said nothing of the creative content I had sent him. Clearly we were not in tune with each other this time around.
When I addressed it, I did not want to make it a personal issue or make it a matter of right and wrong. So I observed that we were:
- Experiencing a disconnect.
I went on to say that it seemed we needed to clarify how we would work together, and that I hoped that whatever we decided on allowed him to be involved in the creative process since I found his input so valuable.
We are adapting to different circumstances, but we are reconnected in our efforts.
