Description

An emotional episode where Rob speaks about a story he heard from a family member. He talks about how the story resonated with him, its wider meaning and the lessons it reminded him of, including love, gratitude and communication.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Last Saturday a young man left his home and was involved in a road traffic accident as a pedestrian. He was taken to hospital and underwent major brain surgery. He was subsequently diagnosed with brain stem death and was being kept alive by the ventilator. The family were asked if they would donate his organs to help others and they agreed. He was given one more night on the ward. However, miraculously during that night he began to breathe on his own.
• Rob would not have heard this story if he had not kept lines of communication open with the person who told him. It was a lesson for him in relationships, communication and especially listening.
• As a leader, you can't get involved in everything but what you can do when you come across a situation is ask yourself if there is anything you can do to help. When Rob heard this story one of the things he could do was make a phone call to someone he knew. Rob then also decided to make a post about Lewis and his story and received a lot of heartfelt, positive responses.
• It's so important to always nurture the relationships with those you love and keep those people close. Always part ways on good terms, you don't know what may happen in this world.
