Going deeper. Diving in. Being reminded that before leading others you must lead yourself.
Last weekend for three days I became part of what was an incredible experience – and experiment When you think about it when you are the “first” of anything you are….
Let me ask you something… What makes someone come back to you again? It’s rarely one big thing. More often, it’s a series of small moments. In my work, we call these Moments of Truth—the moments where someone interacts with you or some aspect of your company and forms an impression about…
