The role is not the capabilities

 

Whether you are a leader, coach, mentor, or advisor, your role includes being a:

  • Spark plug

  • Sounding board

  • Perspective provider

 

People value the impact you have on their lives. No one remembers how good you were with respect to:

  • Strategic thinking

  • Executive presence

  • Influencing without authority

 

It does not matter whether your recipe is a family secret, used by a celebrity chef or a printout from the net. What matters is how good was the dish. Do people ask for it.

 

The experience is the essence.
