People Skills

Develop people in the same way you mine gold. Go into a gold mine you’ll move tones of dirt to find an ounce of gold. But you don’t go in there looking for the dirt. You look for the gold.

Look for the good in a person, complement them on it and some interesting things will happen.

Birthdays


Andrew you're so wonderful! He put together a 2 day get-away for me for my birthday. It was relaxing and enjoyable. We stayed at a elegant hotel, relaxed at the pool there, worked out at the gym, savored the scrumptious meals.


When I got home, Wednesday evening, everyone was waiting for me in the entrance with drinks and cake. What a wonderful surprise!

I'm another year older, just trying to get used to it.... Andrew is so encouraging telling me I still look 19! Hee!

Gavin - 7 years old

Gavin is getting so big, long gone are the days of cubby little cheeks, mischievous toddler moves ... what remains the same is his inkling for bedtime snacks.
