Throughout our coaching journey, scenarios are encountered when we will be called upon to have an uncomfortable conversation. It’s not if it will happen, but when it will happen. There’s a good chance it happened to you already today. illustratedagile.com/2019/11…

Average life expectancy of a bear: 20 years. Probably less due to all the smoke inhalation. Either Smokey switched to a Keto diet, or we have an imposter bear in our midst.
Smokey Bear turns 75 years old this week! We’d love to hear you sing ‘Happy Birthday’ for him between now and August 9th! Use #SingForSmokey and we’ll share Smokey’s biggest fans. #SmokeyBear75

Whatever you do has an impact on others. You get to choose what that impact is based on your behavior, and how it is received based on your message.
