I was having trouble deciding what message I wanted to share with you during this week’s podcast, when I came up with another true example that happened to me recently.

I was in a conversation with a trusted friend when the he said to me, “I am not supposed to share this information, but I think it would be OK if I share it with you.”

I remember, saying, to myself, “If you were supposed to keep this a secret, then you should not be sharing it with me.” In any event, I dis not want to embarrass the person, so I listened and made a promise to myself that this information would die right here between my ears. I would not be the conveyer of additional communication as related to this particular topic.

In today’s episode, I want to use this example as a reminder to you to never put yourself in a position where you can be considered to be the leak.
