MEDIA

MEDIA Social

Our purpose is to make a difference in the

lives of others.

Don’t look for the ideas that will confirm your thinking, rather look for the trends

that will disrupt your thoughts.

We all think …

But do we think about what we think about

when we think?

is safe the new risky?

‘If you don’t listen, you don’t

sell anything.’ - Carolyn Marland

80%

When we talk we are saying what we think

people want to hear and not saying what they would like to hear.

We should always communicate from the intention of:

What do they want to hear from me? as opposed to:

What do I want to tell them?

The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go

of yesterday. - @SteveMaraboli

Social Media is (NOT) the job of leaders.
