I learned a lot from a T that seemed in every way a bad fit. He worked thru a Church which not only was I not a member but on the other side of the world from my philosophical beliefs. No choice. A big caveat...T never pushed his *beliefs*, was comfortable working with someone that didn't share his or the Churche's, accepted no for an answer. No was a big thing I learned to say. I always explained my no. He did at times push his educational know-how. He was a well trained, educated, respected in his field professional. That was the reason I stayed with him. We could work together. That's the bottom line, I guess. There has to be working rapport & mutual respect.
