I am thankful for the turbulent experiences because they taught me to be open. They taught me to commit that from the seed of every experience there is learning to be harvested.
As a leader and a coach, I can tell you with a decent level of certainty that a leader’s mindset upon entering any conversation is of paramount importance.
Saying “thank you” is as much of my daily vernacular as saying “Hi”. Pleasantries. Niceties. Expected. Giving thanks as a leader – or a person in general – goes beyond this. It demands thoughtful reflection about what I have.
I’ve been fortunate to have benefited from many mentors and to have helped others by being a mentor for them – formally and informally. It’s a wonderful way to build connections and learn from others who have gone before you.
