Soft Skills Workship with Lynne Pettit


"In the knowledge age YOU are the most important thing.  Your knowledge can make you indispensable."  The way Lynn made this statement really made me feel empowered.  He followed it up by mentioning that "I am in control."

This conversation was also frustrating because instead of getting to discuss the principles, a lot of time was spent proving/disproving they were true.  I would have rather spent more time discussing the principles themselves.




Jesse Fowers talked about something that I thought was important.  He talked about our circle of influence.  We each have difference circles of influence.  I personally want to develop good attributes and then seek to increase my circle of influence, because that is what I see great leaders do.

Lastly, Lynn mentioned that we cannot succeed alone and shared a story about running a marathon.  Sport stories (one of my favorite movies is Rudy) are always meaningful to me and I feel I can apply them easily.
