And what how it was explained. It's like for each recall of an item of information, the brain cell connections or the brain pathway is being created. And so each time you recall that same item of information, it travels down the same pathway in the brain. We've got an unlimited number of pathways, but creating the neuronal pathway for that item of information, makes it more likely to be subsequently recalled.   In other words, we remember what we have remembered; and the act of recall creates the brain cell connections. Brain cells that fire together, wire together.   Retelling serves as a memory aid, and also a test for how well you remembered and understood the information."  [17:14] Benefits of speed reading for personal and professional life, emphasizing lifelong learning.

Bruce Sullivan has a unique approach to handling performance conversations to foster accountability. His method is a game-changer for addressing behaviour with a less than positive impact on building a positive workplace culture. An eye-opening moment? Bruce's perspective on "avoiding conflict leads to resentment." This hit home, especially with a personal story shared about an office restructure to avoid a difficult conversation. But it's not all about challenges - we also explored the power of gratitude in leadership. The discussion on the "paradox of generosity" was truly enlightening and has already changed how I approach my team interactions.
