• Know or judge how much to ask. Be sensitive. Don’t burnout or burn bridges.
• Work with two partners for the same resource just in case one does not work
then you have a backup
• What’s in it for each of the partners? Reciprocity is important.
• Collect statistics and tell your story in many different ways. Create case studies.
This is accountability and transparency. Helps build trust with all stakeholders.
• Working on multiple projects requires writing notes as this will help you pick
up where you stopped.
• Keep on looking for new network and ideas. Create your own opportunities.
• Build the bridge by walking on it as new programs will shape up
