Question
"This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen."

Decision-Making

Respect

Business
"I want this book to be facts, to be important, to be history."
History

People

Quality
"I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide."
Being
"I explained I wanted to descend as quickly as possible to camp IV in order to warm myself and gather a supply of hot drink and oxygen in the event I might need to go back up the mountain to assist descending climbers."
