“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” -Harry Truman
I despise traditional networking but must admit, I’m becoming addicted to “people reading”. If you read this blog much you may be wondering who I borrowed this idea from. To the best of my knowledge, I came up with this one all by myself. [...]

I recently went on a vacation to spend Christmas with family. Since the majority of my waking hours are spent in the great state of Florida, my children have not had as much experience with snow as they would like. So they were ecstatic to have the opportunity to give sled riding a chance. We [...]

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” — John Wooden
Many of the great coaches of the world are also phenomenal leaders. They uplift, motivate, teach, and get their players to stretch their limits. They push them close enough to the edge for maximum growth, but [...]

“Life is not a spectator sport. If you are going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion, you’re wasting your life.” –Jackie Robinson
Our world is crying out for quality leaders because we have created a world of spectators. People spend hours watching television, movies, you-tube videos, [...]

“Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders.” – Sloan Wilson
Recently I found myself in a conversation with a man who blamed his lack of success on the fact that he refuses to play the “politics” game. It [...]
