Show Highlights:

You’ve got to have a sense of timing and tempo when you’re executing leadership and teams. -Freddie RavelA drummer, in the business sense, is a respect for time. -Freddie RavelHow are you using your goals as a leader, the people you work with, the community you work with–the harmony–to make sure that you are managing your time? -Freddie RavelThe inability to execute things in sync, with a good pacing, with good timing, leads to a score that never gets realized. That leads to failure. -Freddie RavelWe have to be completely involved with each other, in the moment, at the same time. Synchronized with each other. That is what a great team does when they’re having success in the business world. -Freddie RavelI’m interested in helping my fellow man and woman grow. I’m not interested in stagnation. -Freddie Ravel[In response to: how do you avoid coasting?] Variety is the spice of life. We’re ultimately here to help each other. -Freddie RavelI always tell people: May you always sing your melody, listen for harmony, dance to your rhythm, and celebrate the great score called YOU. -Freddie Ravel“Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your calling.” -Aristotle

Freddie’s closing thoughts: I don’t think you can get out of bed with a smile on your face if you’re just living for yourself! You can’t be looking at the proverbial mirror. You have to be looking through the eyes of other people; “the light in me recognizes the light in you.” Every moment is such a privilege to have a chance to look through the eyes of other people.
