Why Do Elephants Have Big Ears?"Why do Elephants have big ears" is a collection of tales used by my Dad to guide me through situations in my personal and professional life. I have been using them over the years to mentor my team members and help them grow in their professional life. Dad's nuggets of wisdom continue to be an inspiration to me and my team mates. At times, his words have acted like a string of street lights, brightening dark corners and shining into dangerous alleys of life. I hope they make a difference in your life too |
