Let us know what you are think about this episode here. 💬 Text here. Today's episode we're going to hear from a handful of People who recently chose to serve, and a couple who have been serving for a few years. They will talk about some of the things they are NOT looking forward to. Some of the disappointing things they have experienced already. They will also talk about what's on their mind when they think about serving long term and what might push them towards doing something else. If you are a leader, and you want to know what your People are thinking, ask them. Ask better questions. Actually care about what they think. Actually care about what they say. If you truly care, they just might tell you. I hope you enjoy today's conversation. Why Teach Me to Fish?
