supporting charities

•You have two ears and one
mouth for a very specific reason
•The person who listens the
most, learns the most
• Paraphrasing is the critical skill

do you presently give support to
a charity or social cause?
•Mandatory question: What could

It is an honour (and a significant
responsibility) to educate / inform /
support others
Who have YOU influenced?
Who has supported YOU?
