In mentoring Certified Legal Nurse Consultants I’ve learned to judge someone’s resistance to an idea by the amount of time they spend talking about it before implementing it. The talking is reflective of the resistance. I’ll hear why it won’t work, why it’s so difficult or why someone else should be doing it. Depending upon how far-reaching the idea is, we’ll sometimes spend more time talking about something than just doing it.
When this happens I’ll say it’s time for “less yack and more sack” and we’ll have a good laugh – then get to work. If you find yourself spending more time in the yack than in the sack, put yourself on a yack timer and when that timer has run out – get to work!
