I met John very early in my career as a time management trainer and speaker. He had put himself through university by doing casual farm work. His story about how to teach someone a new task is still as vivid as the day he told it.
Great example for any trainer, mentor or manager.
Robyn,I always enjoy your writing because the examples are both real and personal. This is a brilliant example of what you offer us, and I am sure it will be repeated by all your readers in the years to come. Thank you for sharing it.
Best wishes
Dennis
