Have you ever gone to a meeting to show the outputs of your project, and it goes terribly wrong? When a meeting goes sour, your project gets delayed, or you have to completely restart. If you are meeting with all your stakeholders at once, that is not the real meeting. Instead,  Felipe says to have one-on-one sessions with each of the stakeholders well before the group meeting. This will take more time, but everyone will get dedicated attention. If you do this well before the group meeting, then you will have time to adjust your work. Overall, this will help your stakeholders be more bonded to your project and eventually turn the odds in your favor.

Another way to ensure success in your work is by having regular working sessions with your stakeholders. They are working sessions, so you need to be vulnerable and show what you are up to. Make sure the stakeholders know that their input and concerns have gone into your work. This will help develop strong relationships with your stakeholders, and your work will have more impact. Plus, if and when something goes wrong, your stakeholders will be on your side and will likely help you solve it.
