To know and not to do is not to know.
Stephen Covey

When people seriously undertake to identify what really matters most to them in their lives, what they really want to be and do, they become very reverent. They start to think in larger terms than today and tomorrow.

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.
Stephen Covey
Image
'In empathic listening you listen with your ears, but you also, and more importantly, listen with you eyes and with your heart. You listen for feeling, for meaning. You listen for behaviour. You use your right brain as well as your left. You sense, you intuit, you feel.' ... 'You have to open yourself up to be influenced'.
