Notes from this episode are below.

Agreement and expectation create very different outcomes in the long-run. How do you come to agreement during a conversation vs operating from a place of expectation? Listen to the podcast to find out!

 
 

Mutual understanding of what will be done and by whom, along with timeframes and any additional resources that are required. Ensure that agreement is achieved by articulating what you heard and following-up in writing.

Agreement

 

An assumption of what will be done, by whom and by when. Expectations often lead to conflict.

Expectation


 

Having a clear understanding of an agreement creates unified communication and better relationships, whether it is personal or professional. Practice creating agreements in all areas of your life!
