A lot of my clients become friends over time, some staying connected over the twenty years since I started consulting. I enjoy keeping in touch and they enjoy, they tell me, the informal advice on business and life.
As I was finishing a call with a friend, a young scientist, he said he tells his older sister, a physician, that talking with me "fills my bucket."
It sounded positive, but I'd never heard that metaphor before. He referred me to a book called How Full Is Your Bucket?. Having read the book, I texted him back with thanks for the kind compliment.
