Expert Access Radio Interview with Jay McKeever
Take the Time to Explain the Reasons – Part 1
IT’S NOT JUST WHAT, IT’S WHY
Training without explaining is like trying to program a computer. The computer will only do what it’s been programmed to do. It will not know why it’s doing it and its approach to the job will be limited to what it’s been directed to do.

We have personally participated in a multitude of beach clean-ups. Some were organized by non-profits like the Surfrider Foundation and, in the San Francisco Bay Area where we live, Save the Bay.
