Today I received an email from a dear friend. I’ll be facilitating a “leadership values” key note for his team soon. He required some additional information in advance of my presentation. Seemed simple enough. Well, my friend’s manager wanted to know exactly what content would be delivered during my ‘talk’. What would I be saying? What would I be telling the attendees? Look, I understand the need to affect a measure of control in a managerial sense. I understand the need to e
