This post is a stub to connect you to a YouTube video of the last talk that I gave in the Bose Auditorium on May 24, 2016, shortly before I retired. Titled Developing Oneself & Developing Others, it is on reaching our fullest human potential and helping others to do so as well. It provides clear guidance for most business roles and also for personal development. I hope you will find these ideas inspiring and useful. If so, please share them.

Below is a guide to the topics I cover. On YouTube, you can skip directly to the chapter you wish. The most popular one is the 7 minute segment on mentoring.
