Running to Stand Still

U2 LYRICS

“Running To Stand Still”
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we’re going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the […]

Memorial Day

What a weekend.  I have been going pretty much non-stop all weekend.  I played golf close to 5 times in 4 days.  Yes, it was a golfing marathon.  Today it was about 97 degrees when Todd and I played and it sucked the juice right out of us.  But, we had fun and continued to […]

StrengthsFinder & Elite Volleyball Women

 

 
Last night I did a follow up StrengthsFinder session with the 17-1’s team with Minnesota Select.  This is the volleyball club I coach for, and the 17-1’s team is one of our top teams.  A few months ago the team had me in to do some strengths discovery and team building with the ladies.  It […]

Origins Recap

So, flew back yesterday from Los Angeles and the Origins conference at Mosaic.  My recap will be a slightly different look at Origins as I did not attend any sessions.  Now, you say, how did you go to Origins and not attend any sessions?  Well, I was working!  Recruiting / Connecting etc with folks during […]

Live from Origins

So I am here at Origins in Pasadena, California. I have been here for a few days and met a ton of cool folks who took my online StrengthsFinder class earlier this year. It has been a blast to get to know some of them - Eric, AJ, Heath, Sam, Rachel, Steve, Deana, […]

StrengthsFinder Books

Yesterday I had a very fun and energizing day of leading the 2006 IMN cohort through the Gallup StrengthsFinder at William Carey College in Pasadena, CA. I enjoyed many of the folks who were in my online strengths class months ago (maybe November 2005?) - in person.
I told them I would post the StrengthsFinder books […]

Getting ready for Origins / IMN

So here I am in Minnesota getting ready for a few things:
1) Golf before I leave for California tomorrow
2) My Strengths presentation / group interaction with the IMN cohort at Origins
3) Packing
4) Getting over the flu (lots of fluids, and nyquil at night)
I am really excited about meeting the folks that […]

Content

I am content. This sentence is, if you know me at all, a rare statement for me. In life, work, school, marriage, friends - I have it so good. I am richly blessed. I am content.
This probably means some change is on the horizon. The kind of change […]

Leadership

In my life, I have had the honor of leading various groups and projects. My view on how this can happen effectively has grown and changed over time. The thing that I always come back to is, I have to go with my gut and know that not everyone is always going to […]
