Professional lobbying is about relationships. Trust is essential to building strong relationships and without meaningful relationships, it can become difficult to get to "yes". Qualities that set me apart from other lobbyists include practical skills which have enabled a solid record of success, a diverse education as a macro social worker and clinical therapist, and my rich experience as a listener and problem solver.
