heart people soul
Just as we leave the effects of our work behind in results, we leave the effects of our interactions with people in their hearts, minds, and souls.
heart mean responsibility
When we can't hold back, or set boundaries, on what comes from our lips, our words are in charge-not us. But we are still responsible for those words. Our words do not come from somewhere outside of us, as if we were a ventriloquist's dummy. They are the product of our hearts. Our saying, "I didn't mean that," is probably better translated, "I didn't want you to know I thought that about you." We need to take responsibility for our words. "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken" (Matt. 12:36).
party writing heart
The Bible is clear about two principles: (1) We always need to forgive, but (2) we don’t always achieve reconciliation. Forgiveness is something that we do in our hearts; we release someone from a debt that they owe us. We write off the person’s debt, and she no longer owes us. We no longer condemn her. She is clean. Only one party is needed for forgiveness: me. The person who owes me a debt does not have to ask my forgiveness. It is a work of grace in my heart.
heart care humans
The human heart will seek to be known, understood, and connected with above all else. If you do not connect, the ones you care about will find someone who will.
Some people's developmental path has not equipped them to stand up and let go of something.

Every human being must have boundaries in order to have successful relationships or a successful performance in life.
god people ultimately
I think that God will provide opportunities and people and experiences, and everything we need to date and ultimately to find the one.
both continuing dictates either personal reality season stand time
In both our personal and professional lives, there are times when reality dictates that we must stand up and 'end' something. Either its time has passed, its season is over, or worse, continuing it would be destructive in some way.
fell focus leadership listening love major teams three topic work
I fell in love with the topic of leadership. For three decades, that has been a major focus of my hands-on work: listening to and working with leaders, their teams and their organizations.
driving happens leaders leadership move
What happens with a lot of leaders is that their leadership style is like ADD; they are all over the place with different ideas. They could be driving one idea forward but then move on to something else too soon.
power
The power of being in the physical presence of another person delivers real benefits.
advance best great results
The best way to advance in a career is to get great results while working with people.
chaotic closed outside run systems time ways
Closed systems run down and get more chaotic over time. Always get better by being 'open' to outside energy and templates of better ways to function.
