 Dear Jite,

First of all the fact that you are in a deadlock is saying to stop doing the way you are doing it. Take distance and erase everything you had inside your head and your agenda.  Secondly, make a brainstorming meeting with your family. Yes with your family, in order to here their thoughts as members of your society. Try to thing out of the box and if you don't want your family, create a new team with fresh ideas. Thirdly, change the place were the next meeting will take place. Finally, when the new meeting will start wait the president of the Union to take his place and sit next to him at his right hand or organize the meeting room in a way to sit again at his right hand. Neurophysiology says that if you want to close a deal sit at the emotional right side of the person you want to collaborate with.

- Offer to re-study the case for which you reached a dead-end

- Involve others who may come up with a compromise and who have effect on the union

- Try to win time, time can make wonders
