You need a little help to achieve your new year’s goals, but you aren’t sure of your next step. The good news is, you have someone in your network who might be able to help. The bad news is, you haven’t spoken with them in a while. How do you get past the yawning chasm of your negligence to renew your relationship and not feel like a slimy creep doing it? Join Debby and Greg as they discuss the techniques they’ve seen work in exactly such situations.
