I was prompted by a client to explore the difference between an invitation & a request. And found this.

It has some merit.
However they seem to banish requests, because they don’t distinguish a need from a whine. It surely is ok to ask when you have a need? Is there a time each?
I like the idea of an invitation to an encounter.
Maybe i’ll come back. To this question.
