  • They choose to cultivate a relationship with you
  • They are willing to take a chance with you
  • They are respected by others
  • They have a network of resources
  • They are consulted by others
  • They BOTH talk and listen
  • They are consistent in their lifestyle
  • They are able to diagnose your real need
  • They are concerned with your interests
  • They can see more good and potential in you than you can see in you
  • They stand on higher ground and as such are in position to lift you up
  • Their experience is both deeper and broader giving them more credibility, perspective, and wisdom
  • They are unselfish with their time and resources
  • They consider your successes as important as their own
  • They know that a caring moment will multiply exponentially, benefiting many
  • They take ownership and accountability
  • Service to others is second nature for them
  • They embody how they would like the world to become

  • They are always open to new learning and new ideas
  • They leave room to be mistaken and for differing perspectives
  • They understand that the harvest of tomorrow depends on today’s choices
