info_outlineRoger is happy to bring Mitchell Levy back to the podcast for another timely discussion. They cover a variety of topics beginning with a subject we each need to consider both personally and professionally, the need to bring creditability to the relationships we have.
After hundreds of discussions with successful and influential business leaders, Mitchell shares some of his observations and insights including the need for us all to be timely, and punctual. Time is a precious commodity so we all can do a better job respecting our time.
Roger and Mitchel also discuss the importance of purpose & passion, but can we also articulate it. What is it we need to do to clearly explain what we do and why it matters? Learn what a CPOP is and how we can communicate it more clearly. There are some important lessons here for us to hear.
Then they discuss whether we are listening well to others? Not just hearing but also understanding.
I think many would agree, that life can be hard and scary but Roger and Mitchel want to bring some light to the situation. In fact, they clearly point out that we each can fix this, that we individually can make a difference, you perhaps are the difference that is needed in the world, in the life of those you are interacting with. Basically, we each need to be a better person.
This is another episode you’ll be glad you heard so sit back, enjoy and be sure to take some notes.
