What We Learned

Sameer's story of his wife leaving him and bringing his family back together

I was taking care of what was convenient for me and not for what they cared for.

The 5 am club

The difference between doing and achievement

How to declare a breakdown

How to be a good coach

When our cares are being taken care of we are alive.

Everything I do that brings care is action. Everything I do that doesn’t bring care is meaningless activity.

Any conversation that discloses a person’s blindness is a coaching conversation.

Knowledge without practice is arrogance. Knowledge with practice is skill.

Know what value is. That which takes care is value. That which does not is waste.
