well said, Penny. I think there are three ways to help someone take the next best step. Instruction, is the least effective. At least in my experience. Invitation is more, well, invitational and effective. The last is inception, where you are able to help someone seethe insight about the next step for themselves.
What might the 'agreements' be for extending and accepting the invitation? There are rules regarding conduct. Invitation entails some sort of formalism. How and when these agreements will be communicated (and recognizing they exist in the first place) seems essential.
Love the question, Kato. I think it depends, in part on whether you require explicit agreement or acceptance of an invitation or implicit. In many situations I find continuing the conversation, connection or collaboration is good enough evidence of implicit agreement well someone discontinuing it’s good enough implicit agreement that the invitation was declined.

That one is my favorite, Michi. if you’re able to make our community call at 11 AM EST, will be jamming more on the art of invitation, then!
Have you guys had a time change? I thought the meeting is now but not letting me in???
Oh no, Michi! We are back on EST. The call was an hour ago! Friday’s call is at 1 pm EST. Hope to see you then!
I believe we are now on Daylight Savings Time, not the Standard Time.
Oh craaaaaap!!! Finally able to make it and missed it. Dammit.
Time zones are hard, Michi. Sorry we missed you. Hope to see you on another call soon!
An invitation is easier to hear as the listener can feel she has an unforced choice.

Thanks for these thoughts. :)
That’s really interesting and surprising… designed to elicit a ‘no’!
