How to Help Another - A Lesson from Starbucks
Thank you to the 800CEORead blog for the interview conducted with Michael Gates Gill. Before, this blog, I had never heard of Michael Gates Gill. But, I think this interview and quote below will make you want to buy his book titled - "How Starbucks Saved My Life".
About Michael Gates Gill:
"As a successful creative director for one of the largest advertising agencies in the world, Michael Gates Gill had it all. But in a few short years, he lost his job, divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. With no money or health insurance Gill took a job at Starbucks where, with the help of an unlikely mentor, he learned the value of hard work, humility, and what it truly means to help another person. In his book, Michael Gates Gill shares how he had it all, lost it all, and was finally redeemed by a new job and an incredible friendship."
My favorite company, Starbucks, continues to surprise!
