Cal Raleigh Behind the Scenes Post-Game Interview

Fans of the Seattle Mariners know how special Cal Raleigh is as a player and what he means to the organization. After hearing Cal in interviews over the years they also have a good sense of his personality and sense of humor. 

Cal Raleigh is all about the team. He doesn't like to talk about himself, but he was forced to Friday night when he set a franchise record for most home runs by a catcher.

It's a huge milestone and one he didn't really want to talk about, but I couldn't avoid asking the questions because it's the topic everyone watching expects him to talk about. Here's how I approached the walk-off interview with Cal Raleigh and what it means for the conversations you're having at work.

I can't change anyone's personality. I can't force them to answer questions in a specific way. It's important to meet people where they are in a conversation and that's why it's important to spend time building relationships and talking to co-workers. You'll be in a better position to understand them, their personalities and how to set people up to succeed in your conversations.
