Jennifer, your words resonate.   This is one blog post I'll bookmark and reread.

I recently learned a critical lesson about making a stand for change.  When you're the only one pointing out a problem in need of a solution it can be off-putting for others.  I'm training myself to find great questions to ask rather than coming out with problem statements.  I adore problem statements because you can do so much with them but they're only effective when everyone agrees there IS a problem -- not in the early stages when you're trying to get air time for an issue that hasn't yet surfaced.
