-- Elaine Agather

Notes by Prabhjot Bedi | The Eclat Coach
- I love this one. A lot people tell you leaders are born not made and on the first read this quote seems to say that. But if you read it carefully, you will see that the real leaders are the ones who have a sense of humor and the faculty of wishful thinking to go with the leadership instinct
- What can you do? Learn to appreciate fate, dreams, hope and despair. learn to laugh sometimes!

But most of all they are agents of knowing life--generating alternatives, lifting up options for better living, and creating webs of inclusion that serve to enlarge our world making potential at its healthiest.

Never tell people how to do things.
Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George S. Patton (1885 - 1945)

Notes by Prabhjot Bedi | The Eclat Coach
- This is so powerful. I actually have a tough time waiting for someone to finish how to do something, once they have told me what needs to be done.
- I must however mention here, that you cannot do this with someone who is new. They need the direction. but sooner than later, step away.
