pride since they were four years old.” Ron Berger

Everyone has to manage their connections.

“But all of you are likely spending more time than you realize selling

Everyone improves.

“He’s engaged in assessing his own work, scrapping it and

starting over when something fails, building or refining when he gets new ideas, and offering

feedback to his peers on a regular basis.” Will Richardson

Celebrations acknowledge what people know and do not know. Celebrate what they do by asking them about it, celebrate what they don’t by asking them how they got there and putting them in groups where they can.
