Script

[DARCY to camera]

When you engage a Lion: lead with the outcome of the conversation.

ASSESS fast — show them you've done the work. APPROACH with one sharp question, not three. LISTEN for the unspoken doubt; Lions hide it. ENGAGE with the result you need, then the path.

AFFIRM by naming a specific decision they made well — not their personality. TRACK with a deadline they can attach to.

Skip the warm-up. Lead with the outcome. Then get out of their way.
