Short YouTube monologue by Sonya Shelton advising employees on how to make an impact at their company: evaluate the value/impact of a proposed change, anticipate and address risks/objections in advance, and if rejected, learn from the feedback and look for future opportunities to reframe the idea.

What is the impact to the company? Right. So if you see something could be different or something that you could do differently, or something that you can bring that's not being accepted, what is that impact to the company? What's the value that it brings? And then recognize, when you're thinking about that, what are the risks? Why might they say no? And thinking about that ahead of time, so that you can answer those objections up front. And then if they do say no, those were risks that you didn't think about. And that's okay. It's like, okay, those are things I didn't consider. How could I think about this and look for another opportunity where this issue is coming up again, or this opportunity is coming up again and I can reframe it in a different way to say, what if we try this.
