What are you reading this weekend?! 🧐📚

“Motivation is overrated” @power_ray and I discussed this on a recent webinar series. It’s not that motivation is bad, in fact, it’s great when it’s there, it’s just an awful aspect to rely on when it comes to action

A reminder, if it were ever needed, to always ask the difficult questions and never avoid them....a brilliant read....

'Wanting to help is just not the same as helping' #BadTherapy

The cure for ignorance is not information. It's humility and curiosity. Facts can be easily dismissed. What motivates people to gain insight is recognizing gaps in their understanding and wanting to find out more. The root of lifelong learning is knowing how little we know.

Busy? Or productive? Don't be fooled into thinking they are the same....#Mentoring
