simple grateful reflections, hot water to shower coming out of a tap, fresh vegetables and food available in abundance, education, and sunshine. These things are so easy to forget to be grateful for, until...you don't have them, you go on a trip and see how luxury exists in all we take for granted.

Simply lovely....

Often as managers we are too frequently prone to the latest 'craze', trainings, or "buzz word." Several years ago, the "buzz" centered around emotional intelligence. Perhaps, it can be taught, perhaps, it is a trait that can be learned and practiced. However, there are others, who intuitively know what another may need? It is not something taught, it is intuitive....It is blissful and a feeling of being heard, being understood, being welcomed is often felt by the receiver. Some individuals have that gift. Perhaps it can be taught, but more than likely it is already within.

I love this distinction though I've never thought of service vs. helping in quite this way.

So easy to say, but so hard to do, to actually do.
