Today, we're revisiting an impactful conversation about a skill that transforms careers: mastering influence through the strategic "meeting before the meeting." Or winning the game before anyone else knows they're playing.

If you've ever wondered why some ideas sail through official meetings while others crash and burn faster than a PowerPoint presentation with too many animations, this ep reveals the secret that seasoned professionals understand—true influence happens in the hallways, not just the conference room.

Drawing inspiration from shuttle diplomacy (minus the private jets and fancy hotels), we explore the subtle art of building support for your ideas before the formal pitch ever happens. Because, by the time you're in that conference room, real decisions have already been made regarding coffee.

In true Powrsuit fashion, we break down this sophisticated skill into actionable steps, sharing personal stories of triumphs and missteps.

So whether you're hearing this wisdom for the first time or revisiting these strategies, enjoy and let us know how you're getting on!
