I Finally Found Him…

I Finally Found Him...

Back to back blog posts one day after another? I’ve not done that in over a year. But, this one was too good for me to pass up. And, not a “pat myself on the back type of good,”, but more like a “I can stop kicking myself in the face type of good.” Well, [...]


Happy 6th Birthday Buddy

Happy 6th Birthday Buddy

Third letter in the series. My first one is here, and the second one is here. Dear Levi, I’m flying home from Dallas the day before your birthday as I start this letter; I was born in Dallas, you know, and it’s a great state to claim as ones birth since I think Texans appreciate [...]

Can You Be Coached?

Last night I had the opportunity to speak/facilitate a small group discussion around Coachability and Listening. So the guys didn’t need to take notes, I promised I’d circulate the culmination of ideas and discussion points captured as we shared the dialogue. I thought it might be a good blog entry, so decided to simply publish [...]
