I’ve always liked acronyms as an aide-memoire. This one I came across recently from a Board Chair I was helping – WAIT – and it’s great:

Why

Am

I

Talking

??

It’s a great challenge – for Board members and Chair alike. The follow-on questions (my suggestions) include:

– how valuable is the contribution I’m making?

– has it been made already?

– am I taking from the time of a colleague board member who has not yet spoken?

Food for thought.

(P.S. – anyone spot the missing leg??!! Bless Open AI – has come so far, but has so far yet to go!!)
