Want to be one better Archive - Originally posted on "The Horse's Mouth" - 2005-06-17 13:20:10 - Graham Ellis
I'm told that I'm competitive - that I want to be one better. That's not always a compliment as it can mean that I tend to come in and "cap" your story with what I think is a better one - but at least I'm aware of this tendency and tell my good friends to alert me when I do it.
But this competitiveness is often a great asset when running a training company and course. I want to provide you with a better course, in a more appropriate venue, with a smaller group size and a more knowledgeable tutor using the most up-to-date notes. You wanna come on one of our courses?
