Quit the Guilt Trips, Get Real Buy-In

In this episode, Bob ’n Joyce call out those pushy political solicitations — the emails and texts that try to guilt or scare you into giving your time, talent, or money. Annoying? Absolutely. But there’s a bigger lesson here: organizations often use the same tactics when trying to win employee support. Too many leaders skip the hard work of real dialogue and rely on one-way pitches. The result? Resistance, eye-rolls, and lost momentum. Bob ’n Joyce share real examples of what works instead: “tilling the soil” through patience, active listening, and co-creating possibilities. The bottom line? Support isn’t something you force — it’s something you grow. So Please come join us and don’t forget your snack or comforting drink.
