Morning Afternoon
Let me be really clear, I’m not an expert in what you do.
My job is not to tell you what to do.
I don’t know what you do. You do.
My job is provoke you into asking hard questions of yourself, colleagues, bosses.
Self aware decisions and thought through strategies outperform blind stumbling.
