For the last two decades I worked with one of the greatest people in the second half of the twentieth century: George Shultz. Early in our relationship the Secretary encouraged me to become a mediator. He suggested:
“I strongly recommend you consider becoming a mediator. You can have an impact on people’s lives well beyond the issue in front of you, you learn so much about others, and even more about yourself! When we were working with the Soviet Union, I could never tell whether the progress we were making was due to my efforts, the President’s, or the tide of history. However, when I received a call from Tel Aviv from a Soviet dissident to tell me, ‘I’m home because of you!’ I knew I had made a difference.”
Secretary Shultz passed away earlier this year. He was 100 years old. However, there is not a day that goes by that I do not utilize the gifts he gave me. On June 24th I will do my best to pass them on to you.
