Which is bizarre as I’m such a people person! I love to meet new people, build new connections, forge friendships and strengthen my offering to my community of clients.   But I have been unfortunate to have been stuck speaking with people who didn’t interest me in places I didn’t like on more occasions than I’d like. So, I steered
