» Remembering Sacred Commitments January 17th, 2011 | Author: Mary Jo Asmus I sat transfixed as a group of elected leaders – half of whom were newly elected – discussed how they would work with each other and the local government administration.

By asking, you are helping them to learn how to learn. If you aren’t asking, how do you know that they don’t know enough (wouldn’t it be great if you were surprised)? “My
