Last week I was doing a Winning Well workshop with the United Nations, when one of the participants, “Pete,” looked at me sincerely and said, “I hear you, and all these tools sound good, and I’m going to use them.

“Terry my boy, what do you think?”. I had never been so prepared to answer that question, delivered by my boss in his typically theatrical way.
