		<description>Thanks, Judith.  In my article, I tried not to be self-serving, but your point is spot on - it takes a trained individual to make the most progress.</description>

		<description>Thanks for a great overview of the limiting beliefs that many senior leaders hold. Because they are blind spots, they don&#039;t even know what they don&#039;t know. In my experience the challenging questions that reveal the issues can be uncomfortable, and it takes careful listening, probing and pauses to bring these issues to the fore.</description>

		<description>Hi Ratnam,
Yes, good points.  Obviously the way to help an organization with its blind spots is to facilitate a group strategy session.</description>

		<description>Hello Michael,

It&#039;s true and very well articulated. Most of the times people start blaming the organization or collegues without analysing their blidspots. 
I do believe the approach to find out the blindspot is good which will  improve the individuals growth.  I think this can be extended for the organizations as well. 

Regards.
Ratnam NCV</description>

		<description>You nailed it with this one. I just purchased my 25 yr old son his first ever first class airline ticket. Was it in my budget...not really. But, I wanted him to have the experience. I think everyone should fly first class at least once a year and stay in a 5 star hotel. The experience is unforgettable. If you are a business owner it makes you think about the experience you offer your customers or clients. As student or employee it makes you want to get to the next level and have this experience every day. Flying first class help change the mindset and makes you see the value in YOU.</description>

		<description>I guess I&#039;m Joey come lately here on the 18th but not to be outdone this is a mainstay of our business (Fire Protection Equipment and Ventilation Systems). Personalized attention to each customers&#039; needs often requires detailed explanation and a bit of education. If you rolled all of these comments into one, you&#039;d have a textbook case of customer relations, retention, and success for life. No, Michael we&#039;re driving the boat!</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right Michael!  As my clients and I have learned, we&#039;re not interested in satisfied customers.  We seek fanatical customers. Evangelical customers.   If you&#039;re doing all your customer&#039;s expect, your report card shows a C.  It&#039;s where you surpass their expectations and make an emotional connection where you get the A&#039;s and B&#039;s. 

Our &quot;customer walk&quot; process helps the enterprise quantify and establish measures for this and ensures an &quot;A&quot; grade.</description>
