Stories from the Field: Lester Kirk
“When we’re in the field, I tell my guys: there are no problems, there are only situations. If you focus on some sort of resolution, your path to a solution will be much smoother. You're able to think with a clear mind because you're focused on the solution and not the problem. Positive over negative.”
