As I wrote last week, it’s the season for giving. Giving can be simple yet profound, like answering a question, providing direction, or listening with a non-judgmental ear.

Giving is also an integral part of creating reciprocity in life and in business. Being a generous giver is important and so is being an excellent receiver. How often though do we cut off our receiving, like when someone gives us a compliment or gives us an expected gift.

Being an excellent receiver takes something. It takes something to allow someone to contribute to you. Giving and receiving is a lot like breathing in and out. Both are equally important to create a healthy human being and leader.

Create a great life,
