Last week I had the pleasure of dining with a couple of our clients that I had not yet met because I was on maternity leave, hanging with Miss Vivi, when we pitched and won their business last year.  It was really nice meal after a long agenda day.   At one point in the evening, four of us, down at one end of the table, found ourselves swaping "I almost wasn't here because..." stories.

The kind of stories that you only share with people who you call friends.  Then, one of the clients shared a quote that she had heard and taken to heart... "Some people value things and use people, others value people and use things."  I've had that in my mind for the past few days as I have watched the markets go down and down. 

It is a great reminder for me that we are lucky to be in a business that values people.
