As A Leader, Do You Listen Fast?

July 31, 2017 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Recently, one of my clients told me, “you listen fast,” I was stopped in my tracks and wasn’t sure what he meant.

Follow up Friday: Behavior Matters

January 8, 2016 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Monday’s reflection questions were: What do you value? What makes you happy? What factors enable you to be most productive? Here is what I noticed in myself and others this week: We can say we value something but our behavior shows what we really value. What we do tells others what is important to us.
