I still use it a lot - pretty much sums up where the world needs to go right now. We need to be braver than ever before on many, many fronts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was said by a much more worldly leader than I’ll ever be, and he practiced the bollocks he preached. And thanks for the appraisal on the ol’ coaching front too. Good to have open minded people on board here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Utter meaningless bollocks': what a meaningful, deeply thought-out, balanced viewpoint that provides the alternative arguments to the point in question or would you like to come back with a more nuanced version of 'Utter meaningless bollocks'?

Ok: Churchill was talking about the defence of liberal democracy - literally saving the world. That's one of the bigger themes. Derek has recontextualised the quote to talk about "executive coaching". Marketing isn't some great noble cause. Taken out of context the meaning of the quote has completely changed and devalued. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most importantly however, he's not a grade-A A-hole like Musk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
