How relevant are you today?
Do your children find you relevant? Do you feel relevant to your Business, your Profession or in your Volunteer work?
If you are like most people you will find that you are relevant to some extent, in some areas. And this relevance is not measured by what you think; but what they think!
The reality remains that your effectiveness, in any endeavor, will be determined by not just your deep knowledge and wisdom, but by how relevant your contribution is to the overall present-day effort.
If something is not relevant to someone – be it a child, colleague or volunteer – how can we expect them to pay attention?
So, in order to enhance our relevance, we need to be current in our knowledge of the area in which we venture, as well as the current pulse of the world. More importantly, we need to have a deep understanding of the people we engage with – be it our children, staff, volunteer team or clients.
