Hmm

brazen, abrasive - no-nonsense now seems so gentle

I can see the insolence - but lovable

I think the word I was looking for is closer to "Incisive" - sharp, piercing to the core, quickly getting to the root cause

the word that replaces 'scary'?

Audacious.

i thought so. and then to be sure, i looked up dictionary.com and the meaning as defined there confirmed it for me:

1. extremely bold or daring; recklessly brave; fearless: an audacious explorer.
2. extremely original; without restriction to prior ideas; highly inventive: an audacious vision of the city's bright future.
3. recklessly bold in defiance of convention, propriety, law, or the like; insolent; brazen.

HI James,

I'm sorry but I was probably not thinking too deeply when replying to your
sms using the words, "no-nonsense" and "dedicated".

I said before that you have the uncanny ability to sort out the wheat from
the chaff. You are able to distill what is important from what is not based
on a very strong set of values which helps me to be clear as to what the
important issues are. You also present your ideas with great clarity and
mostly in a very direct and confident manner. I admire all that in you and
frequently wish that I had those qualities. So how do I use just one word to
summarize that tough mindedness. Like the title of LKY's book, "Hard Truths"
(I like the title) which tells it like it is, your's is a "no-nonsence"
style that will enable me to succeed. As LKY cares deeply about Singapore
and it's people, you truly care about those around you. (Both of you are
often misunderstood by others) The word "no-nonsense" was not meant to strip
away any of the love and care that you have for your coachees. I was looking
for a very powerful, masculine word. I have yet to find the right one word.
Maybe you are !
so many one words, like caring, supportive, inspiring because you do
respond accordingly.

Hence the second word, "dedicated". You are dedicated to the success of the
people around you. You are dedicated to my goals and life. You are also
dedicated to your team, your family, your goals. In fact, you are dedicated
to almost everyone you know and in everything that you do. So when you asked
for a more positive word, that immediately came to mind.

I do hope that it explains why I used those words and it was used with the
greatest of respect for you.

With love and respect

GP

PS

Actually the first word that came to my mind was "scary" as I always thought
of you as someone who is not afraid of setting "harry, audacious goals".
Anyone of us would try to enroll 2 or 5 persons to Pei Yen's class, but you
chose to enroll 50 people. That's scary (in the good sense of the word) I
feel humbled and at the same time challenged by your action and imagination.
