Be Solution Oriented
Abstract
If your goal is to tell those who make policy how angry you are with their policy, scream from the mountaintops — or post it on social media! If your goal is to make an impact, to change their thinking — climb down from the mountaintop, write the post, read it and then delete it, and then engage them and others, especially those who make you angry. If you cannot change their thinking, focus your energy on changing those who are doing the thinking!
