Unclench

You cold call.

They say, “I’m not ready to meet but I’ll share this with our VP of Marketing.”

So you breathe in.

You craft something thoughtful.
A video with care, insight, heart.
You send it. And wait.
And refresh your inbox.
Nothing.

Now what?
The mind wants to chase.
To push.
To beg.

But chasing clouds clarity.
So instead, try presence.

Gently hold up a mirror:
“Sounds like the video didn’t quite land.”
“Feels like your VP gave it a polite nod.”
“Looks like the spark didn’t catch.”

When you guess softly, you invite truth.
If you’re wrong, they’ll adjust you.
If you’re right, they’ll nod.
If they ghost?That’s truth too.

No response is a response.
You can’t play catch with someone who won’t throw back.

So bow.
Detach.
Unclench

Step off the field.
And trust another game will begin.
