The more you develop as a leader, the more you find yourself leading.  You almost can’t stop yourself.  If there is a gap of leadership, you speak up.  You step in.  It becomes second nature for you. It could be as simple as helping your family decide what’s for dinner or as complicated as leading […]

Chick-fil-A, Batmobiles & Memorable Moments

Yes, my friends.  That’s a picture of the Batmobile.  In fact it’s one of the originals.  I believe this one was used in Batman Returns. A couple of weeks ago our Executive Team had the privilege of visiting the Chick-fil-A Corporate Headquarters.  We were treated to lunch, a tour and some great conversation with one […]

My Little Red Book

The fourth phrase is what […]

We Are All Shades of Grey

Recently my friend Mary Beth Stockdale posted something on twitter that got my attention.  She tweeted: If being like Jesus is black or white, we are all shades of gray. I immediately tweeted back to her and asked her if she would expound upon that for here on my blog.  We talk a lot about […]

This weekend I escaped for a few hours to watch the French Open Women’s Final.  You all know I love tennis but I’m particularly a sucker for the awards presentation ceremonies that follow any major event.  Even if I don’t enjoy the sport,  I love watching the winner celebrate their victory and be honored by […]
