As of this week, I have lived in Asia 43 years. I came out as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Malaysia hoping to “teach” Malaysians a few things. But was my perception off! Asia has taught me much more about trust, culture, and relationships than I ever could have imagined. Asia has given me many warm loving caring relationships regardless of ethnic or religious backgrounds. The key to nurturing and maintaining these healthy relationships is trust.

I have watched John Maxwell speak, teach and train for over 20 years. His ability to communicate to audiences or ‘one on one’ with individuals is based on the laws of communication he has developed below. His newest book "16 Invaluable Laws of Communication" outlines the key principles of effective communication. The principles are based on how John walks the talk with integrity, graciousness, a servant-leader mindset, and of course, his world-class cross-cultural speaking skills.
