This week Tim and Jeanette Schmidt opened their home to a couple of dozen guests on a Monday night to talk about stuff that really matters:  faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun and future: the 7 Fs.  Tim and I are writing a book together &#8212; What Really Works: Discovering the 7 Fs.   We knew our request was a stretch for some people.  When was the last time you were asked to bare your soul about F-words?<\/p>\n<p>Tim and Jeanette went way out of their way to create a setting that was warm, inviting and fertile for our conversation.  And it worked!  The adrenaline was flowing and the wisdom sprang forth.  We heard poignant private thoughts like &#8220;love your mom&#8221; as well as belly laughs over how married couples manage their checkbook.  Some offered personal stories of their childhood that shaped who they are as parents today.<\/p>\n<p>The most compelling question was:  within the framework of the 7 Fs (faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun and future) where do your consider your work?  For you, the answer may be obvious.  If that&#8217;s true, you&#8217;ll be surprised at where others consider their work.<\/p>\n<p>Good leaders know how to create a setting where people can be honest with each other, support each other and make each other better.
