The Observer

One of the most powerful tools
There for any of us to use
Are the services of an observer,
Someone not involved in our project,
But willing to listen
To the history of what
Has been done,
Our accomplishments to date,
And what is intended in the future.
That person, if we care to listen
Will often see something we never noticed
And point out where
We get in our own way.
They may see possibilities
We never imagined,
Assets we never knew we had,
Or maybe challenges
We didn’t know were there.
They serve to clarify our thinking,
To focus our thoughts,
Pointing out what is missing
And what needs to be done next.
Most of all,
They tend to
Empower us in our vision.
