What a thought-provoking moment from Richard.
I know right? He actually did it. And more video, too. Coming soon to a blog near you
Richard is absolutely right the way he answers. I find younger individuals are judgmental or don’t know what to say. When you get to know someone you do feel more comfortable sharing as you feel that you know that person better. His answer is perfect!
His audience is different than mine. It would suck the air out of the room and there are times one just doesn’t want to go there and I get it.
