A Touch of This, a Dash of That and a Sprinkle of Those.

Recently, I was talking to a friend about another friend (telling this story for a friend) and he asked me what makes her so successful at what she does. After thinking about it, I came up with three character traits that are the bedrock for her success.

Intelligence. Passion. Compassion.

Intelligence. I am talking sexy smart here. The ability to see the forest and the trees. The ability to keep one eye looking at things thru the telescope and one eye tracking the microscope. The ability to read people and situations. Well read. Well versed. A beautiful mind.

Passion. Each and every one of us has an internal passion fire. For some the pilot light never lights. For others, it burns so bright it can light up a room. Not one directional passion. It's a passion for their whole universe. It's a passion that drives. It gives strength.

Compassion. The ability to understand the human journey. The ability to see the heart of the other. The ability to feel. A gentle touch. A tender smile. Well timed. Well placed.

People love working with her. She 'gets' it.

She makes others around her better.

Success.
