What an Excellent piece from an excellent personality @somethingsubtle, I can't thank you enough for this post, it's actually meant for me. No doubt, you're good at what you do. I have been facing serious challenges in my company and put in place much professional advice and recommendations but nothing seems to work. Sincerely yours, of all advice and recommendations I got, none related to those listed above and I so much believe that if I put all those into practice, I shall experience change. I admire your presentation and intelligence, your post took me beyond reading sense, It looked as if you were delivering a lecture to me, with much references to your personal life and awesome quotes. I do appreciate you for simplifying those things I see as stumbling blocks and you provided solutions to all. I thank you and would get back to you as soon as possible for feedback and further assistance. The question I have now is, "how long would it take me to experience change after practicing all these"? Thanks for taking me out from the dark.
