Episode Introduction
George Couros begins this episode with a reflection on a quote from John C. Maxwell about being a thermostat, not a thermometer. Couros reflects on a recent story about how he recognized the importance of making sure people know that we are there and that we care. By assessing that something is going on, and instead of prying, just letting the people we are around know that we are there for them. Couros shares how being a thermostat not a thermometer helped his daughters have a better day.
