“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

I’ve had to learn to shut my mouth. It’s surprising how much we learn when that happens. What people have to say is not only important, it needs to be important to us. If it’s not—how is your ego?

Sarah is an inspiration. A TEDxBirmingham speaker, professor, & Auntee to Taco & Bogey, she challenged me to connect. Her story of being hearing impaired arguing over Pepsi (https://youtu.be/r0IL5O5oAC8) gave me a new perspective on listening & actually connecting with people BEYOND the task at hand.
.

I’m learning to slow down & listen to others. It’s taking me farther than going fast alone. Thank you Sarah!”
