Kindness can be the greatest gift that you can give a person. Especially when they are not expecting it.

Thank you Mark Friedman and Howie Cohen

On January 28th, I had a phone call with Mark Friedman, Ph.D., an executive coach. The call was scheduled for 45-60 minutes but we ended up speaking for 2-hours. He not only gave me 2-hours of his own time, but he also gave me some great guidance and some insight about myself that I had not seen. I was extremely appreciative of Mark’s time and guidance. We ended with the usual agreement to try and stay in touch and wished each other the best.

Four days later, Saturday 1 Feb, I received an email from Mark introducing me to his nephew, Howie Cohen. Mark wanted to connect me to Howie as he felt we shared similar interests. That weekend, Howie took the time away from his busy family and life schedule to speak to me. Howie was extremely generous with his kindness and offered to introduce me to people he felt would be of interest for me meeting.

I have had some incredible support from so many friends and relatives. It would be wrong for me not to recognize them all and thank them, but the list would be too long. But to get the time and help from people you do not even know, has been one of the kindest things that has happened to me.

Thank you Mark and Howie
