Memphis

I just returned from Memphis and our company Train The Trainer week long session. They asked me to teach an hour and a half session on relationship building. I taught the class but focused more on business coaching skills as opposed to building friendships.

During my time in Memphis this last week I observed that every person who is asked to give his own opinion will in the end, find himself or herself aligned with the person who valued them enough to ask it. It is unfortunate there seemed to be a fear of "opposite winds" and the time allotted for good advice, cost saving ideas, questions, and helpful opinion was only an hour.
