Seeing myself in him

Have you ever looked for yourself in your child? I'm not talking about eyes, nose or other physical features, or even intelligence or attitude. I'm talking about behaviors.

Re: meetings

I would like to call another short, 20 minute meeting
but before we start let’s spend the next 5 minutes finding suitable seating
10 minutes organising 3 coffees 1 tea
another 10 waiting for the boardroom to become free
