In April 2009, Angela gave me a call based on our past working relationship and asked if I would mind very much if we met to chat about some things she was working on and she wanted another set of ears for perspective.
Meet we did, and while we were meeting it became clear that Angela is on a huge growth path. Her real desire to improve, become all she can be and develop personally and professionally is admirable. She ‘gets it’ in terms of awareness that as individuals we have the power to create our own world.
It was a great meeting and we seemed to connect quite deeply, more than a former boss and employee, it was more like a couple of great friends. It was the meeting that started it all. The more I learned and read about Steve’s Greater Than Yourself, the more I believed we were a great match for this kind of a project. Upon sharing the book title with Angela, she read it and she also shared it out with others. Then when I asked her if she would be willing to be my Greater Than Yourself Project, she said yes!
We have since started feeling our way through “What would this look like?” and “What can Patti offer?” but the connection is already proving valuable in what I have recieved. Nothing formal from Angela, that is not how it works – this is about what can be shared with her and what I can do to promote, enlighten, help, share knowledge and contacts. The magic in this is the awareness which returns to me, the knowledge I learn about myself and growing myself as a person as a result of this connection – THAT is fantastic. Thank you Angela!
