Post-it note with handwritten notes on it
Dude, lower right corner. This is what the CEO (writing the check) said.

A nine-year client recently said, “Just your presence is what we need”.

Lying’s downside

Ukraine news update
Russia says they only wanted Donbas. Sure thing Russia. You never lied before, why would you start now?

Lying’s downside?

You are forever labeled a liar.

Good luck suddenly becoming trustworthy.

Remember, people hide their motives

Remember, people hide their motives.

This is especially true in the workplace.

Why?

People are trying to survive.

Getting ahead of others professionally is a great survival tactic.

Promotions and other work advancements generally equal higher pay.

Higher pay brings more buying power.

More buying power helps you survive better.

This is a generalization, and decently accurate based on my lifetime of observation.

Trust scarcity

Chinese President Xi
Fingers crossed.

Trust.

Scarcity.

Scarcity of trust.

Scarcity catapults value for many things.

Trust is one of them.

Wisdom is another.

Collaboration, too, on a global level has historically been scarce.

Russia’s Ukrainian invasion is rewriting global collaboration’s history.

China’s collaborative (with the West) chapter will be the one we now need the most.

Trustworthy people are rare

Son, two of the four people you travel with to this National Park will die for you in a heartbeat. The other two are the closest thing to lifelong friends. They won’t die for you but they have your back.

Trustworthy people are rare, hence valuable. Cherish them.
