Always be yourself whatever happens – your values are the foundation of who you are. Make good friends because you never know when you might need them - it’s vital to make connections in every area of your life. Times limited, act now – if you really want to do something you’ll start straight away I learnt that when I’m at my darkest I begin to write and am most creative. I’m frustrated that I had to lose Chris to understand these three vital lessons. Any event can be deemed neutral it’s the response that is either positive or negative I have a burning desire to share Chris’s three lessons with as many people as I can. It’s about enabling everyone to be themselves, to be able to speak freely in a positive environment and get where they want to go. There is a lot of assessment required in business as people will not go back to work in the same way. The idea that people can be effective working from home is forcing a systemic change. As a leader, you should have the emotional intelligence to understand everyone is different and will experience change in different ways and times. The most important characteristics for any leader are confidence and empathy.
