Several weeks ago I was invited to attend a meeting that was supposedly for the purpose of building a partnership. Excited to partake in the conversation, I showed up feeling optimistic and ready to brainstorm. However, within moments of the meeting starting I realized there wasn’t going to be a partnership.
