This is the only Tip of the Week that I have not written myself.  It came from another ActionCOACH over in England named Neale Lewis and I felt it was too good not pass along.  Thanks Neale!  I know that Neale found it on the internet and I have researched to find the original author.  Unfortunately, every place I find it credits someone else.  If you know the origin, let me know!

    I have seen this before and it is always helpful to see it again!

    Not unlike going back and re-reading Dale Carnegie’s book “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

    These words embody something a wise mentor of mine (Mr. Dick Davies) told me recently: “Your power is in your contribution to others.”
