Lessons in Leadership from Love
Sometimes lessons in leadership come from the most unlikely places; when you look for life's lessons, it's amazing where you will find them. I have found them in the small details, the fleeting moments, and the major life-changing transitions. As Valentine's Day approaches, I want to share some leadership lessons from a love story.

Hibe ating
Hibe ating (from the cold).....What's it good for?? As I travel on my spontaneous journey, I am eager to see the places I am visiting. I have made some sacrifices to take this journey so I want to get all the pleasure from it I can. I am currently in the city I was most looking forward to visiting, Nashville. Not only do I like warm weather, I also like live music (and yes, I'll admit it, country music).

What Is Your Identity?
As I sat in church listening to the pastor explain how meaningful names were in the Old Testament, the impact of my past hit me. The pastor used the example of Abram becoming Abraham, Father of Many Nations, yet he held that title for over 25 years before he fathered his son, Isaac. Imagine what people thought for 25 years as he called himself that. They probably laughed. I'm guessing the older he got, the louder the laughter became. After all, he was nearly 100 when he fathered Isaac. Abraham and Sarah were probably the only parents buying Depends and Pampers at the same time!

Opportunity Knocks: Can You Hear It?
Have you ever heard opportunity knock? Are you aware it knocks in large and small ways every day? I was banging on the door of an organization for about 6 months. Nothing happened. I couldn't even get an email returned. Although I was frustrated, I kept knocking (literally emailing and calling). Oh, and let's not forget social media; I reached out through LinkedIn to several connections. But, to no avail.

A Look Back At 2015
As I look back on 2015, I think "Wow! What an amazing year!" Yes, it had some challenges and disappointments. No, my income wasn't as high as I had planned. But, I can look back and say it was truly an amazing year and I am blessed beyond belief. Let me recap to explain why. In January I began on a cruise with a group of about 60 people who were looking to take life up a notch. And, boy, did we! Many of us on that cruise have co-written a book on thriving that is about to be released.

Leadership Knows No Age
Leadership comes in all ages and knows no boundaries. I had the privilege of being invited to joi Ohio State University athletes (Go Buckeyes! was the cheer) and Soles4Souls on a shoe distribution to Costa Rica. The athletes may be from the same campus; however, most of them didn't know one another. The ride from the airport to the "home base" in Costa Rica was relatively quiet and uneventful.

Lessons Learned From The Naked Neighbor
On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, things turned interesting quickly. A dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the rightful owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the rightful owner and a naked man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week.
