I love when I'm in the "flow" doing what I'm doing -- whether it's speaking or doing large-scale visual capture of meetings.

I love being in the "flow" -- whether it's in speaking to a group of people or working to help facilitate meetings.

I work with different organizations on strengthening their culture_comma_ and I do large-scale visual notetaking (also known as graphic recording). Are you familiar with that at all? (Not unusual NOT to be!)

I am impressed by leaders who know it's best to surround themselves with people who are smarter/better/more experienced than themselves in some areas.

I LOVE when leaders know that it actually *helps* them to be surrounded by strong people -- people they can learn from_comma_ that challenge them_comma_ and that in some ways could be considered "better".

It's just too many leaders want "yes men" and/or people who feel non-threatening. It's a trap and a quick path to mediocrity_comma_ if not failure!
