Back on the seventh, I asked if sharing is natural, and pondered if perhaps some of us have been trying too hard to take the direct approach, holding classes and running reports while “implementing” a new “methodology.” This past weekend, sitting around the campfire watching our Scouts cook their dinners, I had the opportunity to […]
