Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Mentorship and coaching are intensely personal. Eric knew what Bill would have been telling him, and he knew what to do, but he badly missed hearing him say it. This may all seem somewhat silly to an outsider. After all, this was a change among powerful, successful executives, operating with lofty titles—CEO, executive chairman—that the vast majority of people will never hold. What could Eric, or anyone else in this rarefied realm, possibly have to worry about? Why does an Eric Schmidt need emotional support? In fact, it is often the highest-performing people who feel the most alone. They usually have more interdependent relationships but feel more independent and separate from others.*

He calls it the Holy Moment. “It’s that moment when you are experiencing what you are experiencing, and you know that it is happening and it should be the way it is. It’s the most amazing possible thing that could be happening at the time being, and you are aware of it at that moment.”

Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was 272 words and lasted less than three minutes; Winston Churchill’s “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” speech was 688 words and just over five minutes. The most powerful emotional expression two humans can say to each other is just three words: “I,” “love,” and “cake.”
