Maybe I know what to do 5

[Traveler]

There is going to be a fine balance to supporting W and listening to W and GAL. How do I support her and DB at the same time?

Me: "I'm going to do that trip as a group trip."
Her: "I don't like group trips."
Me: <Actively listening to the reasons she doesn't like group trips for 5 minutes>
Her: "Why do you like group trips?"
Me: <Explaining why I enjoy leading group trips for 5 minutes.>
...
Me: "Well, I hope you come, it's going to be fun!"

You cut the balance by listening and trying to understand her, validating her, and dropping persuasion. And then go do your GAL activity! I'm open to her joining, or not joining, but I'm going to do my GAL.
