"A man of character will make himself worthy of any position he is given." — Gandhi

Titles are assigned. Character is built.

And character is the only thing that makes leadership last! @MaxwellLeaderCo

"To be significant, all you have to do is make a difference with others — wherever you are, with whatever you have, day by day." — John Maxwell @Maxwell_Leaders #significance #intentionalliving

“Working smarter always beats working harder.

The disciplined use of time everyone else wastes? That's your edge.

You don't need more time. You need better choices about the time you already have” - John Maxwell #priorities #worksmart

The only values that count are the ones that manifest in your behavior.

It doesn't matter what's on your wall, in your email signature, or in your mission statement.

Do your actions represent the values you want them to?

[Adam Van Nortwick @AdamVanNortwick]

Purpose gives you five things most people spend their whole lives searching for:

Clarity. Meaning. Resilience. Passion. Conviction.

You don't find these by accident. You build them through intentional living — one decision at a time.

[Adam Van Nortwick @AdamVanNortwick]

This is fitting for today: every single day you are influencing the people around you - the only question is whether you’re doing it intentionally.

I’m glad I had the opportunity to watch your journey over the last few years. Congratulations , keep up the good work, and I know you’ll continue to be very successful in the future. @SmileysIceCream

I just enjoyed my Smiley’s ice cream favorite, a coffee milkshake with salted caramel chocolate chunk ice cream, at their beautiful new location. It’s very cool to see Derek’s vision come together after years of hard work. @SmileysIceCream

@Mikecantrellprc Thanks Mike, I took this one from the comfort of my own home. Maybe we’ll get to travel and do these courses normally again sometime soon! I hope all is well.

I can’t believe I almost made it through an entire PRI course without noticing my daughter’s mermaid on the table next to me. She’s even lying on her right side expanding her right lateral rib cage! @Mikecantrellprc @RonHruska #PRI

You have to appreciate the creativity of children. My daughter renamed doughnuts “sugar bagels” this week. You’re welcome!

Food for thought since we are currently choosing our leaders

[Adam Van Nortwick @AdamVanNortwick]

“Animals don’t follow unstable pack leaders; only humans promote, follow, and praise instability. Only humans have leaders who can lie and get away with it. Around the world, most of the pack leaders we follow today are not stable.” - Cesar Millan

[Adam Van Nortwick @AdamVanNortwick]

@RonHruska We appreciate all you do @RonHruska. I am thankful you are continuing to push forward and help us grow and learn during this time. I look forward to your upcoming course even if we have to do it virtually.

[Adam Van Nortwick @AdamVanNortwick]

I think we should all consider the important lessons we have learned from COVID-19. We all have a great opportunity to learn and make positive changes moving forward. So, share your pearls of wisdom with me. What has this current situation taught you?

She promptly looked at me and asked with concern: “you been pickin’ your nose, dada?”
