A healthy culture both protects and generates value. It is therefore important to have a continuous focus on culture, rather than wait for a crisis. The strategy to achieve a company’s purpose should reflect the values and culture of the company and should not be developed in isolation. Boards should oversee both.  Investors should consider carefully how their behaviour can affect company behaviour and understand how their motivations drive company incentives.  Sir Winfried Bischoff

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.  George OrwellConnection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.  Brene BrownOur behaviours and actions arise from our true values.  Values are the motivations and reference point that help a person set priorities and make appropriate decisions, with consistency and endurance to any internal or external obstacle.  Values are the motive behind a purposeful action.  Needs are the means or expression of values, not the motive itself.  When the need is met, it is no longer a motive.  Values on the other hand, persist and are always a motive.  Barbara Asimakopoulou

Whenever anyone criticizes or wrongs you, remember that they are only doing or saying what they think is right.  They cannot be guided by your views, only their own; so if their views are wrong, they are the ones who suffer insofar as they are misguided.  Epictetus

Indeed, something not always clearly distinguishable from emotional intelligence—emotional cleverness or cunning—has often been used by political demagogues to further their own ends via the mass manipulation—even destruction—of others. . . . Hence, it seems that emotional intelligence is no end in itself, and that its ultimate value is crucially dependent upon the moral ends which it serves.  Carr High emotional intelligence is only a competitive edge when combined with a strong character and a high level of wisdom. Stephanie Domingue-Green

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Melody Beattie
