Did you watch the talent show on T, V last night? No, I missed that. I went with my mom to buy some clothes. I love this park is so beautiful. IT surely is, are you tired? Shall we stop by the lake for a few minutes? Good idea. Let's go to that cafe for a little refreshment. Tom, shall we invite the Smith around for dinner this sunday? sure. But I need to pack for monday's business trip. What about saturday? okay. Barra, do you want to play table tennis with us tonight? I'd love to, but I can't. I'm catching the last train to denver to see my grandma. I need to take her to visit a doctor tomorrow morning. Alex, to do feed the cat this morning, I don't think . you can wait all right, after I finish this chapter, I just can't let go of this book. Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of a Richard rochester, one of the most successful businessman in britain. Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of england. I chose a five star hotel owned by rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we . were chatting, I asked Susan if she'd ever met mister rochester. SHE said yes. Shortly after mister rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan. He was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for thirty minutes before keeping his APP pointman with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, mister rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that he had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don't believe that Richard rochester has that good a memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It's time consuming, but IT shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that's one of the secrets of his success. Good morning, everyone.

Babani are glad you came to see us. Oh, I have to go in. My flight will take off soon. Do contact me when you're in sydney. sure. We will. Paul, listen to the radio. It's you've stolen my heart.
