Coach,

Thanks as always for the powrful insight.

Might I add, aviod FOOD at meetings.
One of the great time wasters is having folks focus on eating rather than listening!!

Meeting is not for eating! It is for accomplishing!!

Water is permitted in my meetings. LOL

I’ve got people in my own life that will argue any point just for the thrill of being a jerk.

Wow. I’ve seen some of these lessons played out (both positively and negatively) in my church. Recently.
