Movie Pleasure

It is the weekend again and as usual it is time for all the leaders to take a break from the rat race of leadership and find something relaxing to do.

Regardless of the type of genre you like everyone must admit that taking in a good movie is always a great way to escape. What is your pleasure when it comes to movies? Do you like the old black and white classics. Are you a music man or woman and you love a good musical. Maybe you like the an action packed film, a comedy or a drama. Possibly a chick flick meets your needs. For me I like the old Hitchcock movies but I also like all the super hero movies that they have been making.

Now that you have found your movie of choice where are you going to watch it. Some people love to hit the theatres for the current releases and see the movie on the big screen. Other people have designed movie rooms in their homes and getting a DVD or blue ray and watching it at home is a wonderful alternative to the big screen.

Now that you have the movie and the location it is time for the snacks. Popcorn is my snack of choice for movies. Nothing beats some warm buttery popcorn and a cold glass of soda. Maybe candy is your selection for what to eat at the movies. Whatever it may be get it ready.

Today, relax with your favorite movie at your favorite location with your favorite movie snack and escape from your world of leadership into the land of leisureship.

Where Have I Been?

 The title of this article is apropos since I haven't blogged in almost 12 years. I plan to start this blog up again and try to blog on a consistent basis. I will also be broadening the topics that I write about. Be sure to subscribe so you can get notifications about when I post. So what have I been up to since that October day in 2013 when I made my last blog? Let me recap for you. When that post happened I was in the middle of my Toastmaster journey and I'm happy to say that I crossed the Toastmaster finish line by earning my DTM. I didn't continue in Toastmasters after that since I changed jobs and took my leadership skills to Mathnasium and started running a Mathnasium in Blaine MN in 2016. I got the opportunity to blend my education degree with my MBA and use it as the Director of the Mathnasium in Blaine. I also had the opportunity to be the director at one in St Louis Park and one in  Andover. I ran these until 2023 when I decided to go back into the classroom and t...

Team of Rivals

 Today I'm going to give you a book review. My favorite books to read are non-fiction books about baseball seasons, baseball players, presidents, or history. The book I'm currently reading and almost done with is "Team Of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin published in 2005. This book is 754 pages and I have 23 pages left so I think I can give you a good indication about the book. This book is really a retelling of the political career and presidency of Abraham Lincoln as told through extensive research into diaries and memoirs of those who worked closely with Lincoln. I have really enjoyed this book and the writing of Kearns. She is able to piece together all of her information about Lincoln's presidency and life during that time. She gives us up close narratives of the behind the scenes at the White House and his cabinet especially during the civil war. More often than not Presidents will give cabinet spots to friends. This book shows that Lincoln surrounded himsel...

A Higher Calling

Being a leader can be very rewarding especially when you can help others become leaders. Leading can also be a very difficult role and it has many challenges. That is why it is important that leaders continue to grow and find ways to grow. It is through growth that leaders become better. You may find yourself being a leader at more places than just on your job. You may be a leader at home or at church. In all those areas you can find ways to grow your leadership skills. The best way to grow your leadership skills is through your higher calling. Each of us have a higher calling through God and it is your faith in him and your spiritual life that will help you grow exponentially. You need to find out what your higher calling is and become a leader in that area. Your faith is the most important aspect of your leadership role. You cannot be leader on your own you need to lean on the power of God. If you try to go it alone you will burn yourself out and you will end up making some...
