I’m still trying to catch up from my crazy week. I’m anxious to share highlights from staff trip and of course there will be some good content from my road trip to Wisconsin this weekend. But in the meantime, here are a couple of leadership quotes I came across this week. Be challenged! “Leadership is […]
Last week I wrote a post entitled “Pick Up the Pace” where I likened my leadership growth to my tennis game. I loved the analogy so much I’ve continued to process it. Here are some more of my thoughts: ********************** When my tennis coach forces me to pick up the pace, I’ve discovered that I […]
About 8 months ago I decided to tackle a new adventure… the game of tennis. I began taking lessons with a pro to learn how to play the game instead of just chasing a ball around the court. I’ll be honest, this has been a lot harder than I expected. I thought I had some […]

Another “grey leadership” example… This week I had to say some tough stuff to our leadership team. I don’t usually “bring the hammer down” with our staff, but this week was one of those weeks when I felt like there was no better way to address my concerns than to say some tough things. I’m […]
