My Mentor John Maxwell

As of February 21, 2013 I am officially a Certified John Maxwell Coach, Speaker and Trainer!  For those of you that don't know who John C. Maxwell is, he is a great Leader, teacher and author.  I have read many of his books and studied his teaching for many years.  Last year I enrolled in his certification program and attended the certification just this week in Orlando, Florida.  I spent three days with him and his team and I can honestly say it was a life changing event for me.  He is a humble, servant leader who puts God first in all that he does and I am blessed to be certified by him.  The opportunities are endless and as John says, "Don't shortcut your strengths."  So my plan is to continue to invest in developing my strengths to 150%!

Invest in Yourself

Twelve more days and I depart for my John C. Maxwell Certification in sunny Florida!  Can you hear the excitement in my voice?  I am anticipating the wonderful networking opportunities that will be abundant, the photo op with John himself and yes a book signing to go along with the wonderful training I will be getting.

So it will be official, I will be a Certified John Maxwell Coach, Speaker and Trainer as of Feb21st.  I already purchased a new notebook to take LOTS of notes from John's leadership experiences.  As Les Brown stated today on a conference call, "We are never to old to learn and never to young to teach."  So follow your dreams and continue to invest in yourself to develop that untapped potential.

Birthday Blessings

Today is my mother's birthday and we celebrated by taking her to Olive Garden.  I am truly blessed to have such a strong, loving and kind woman as my mother.  She is one of a kind and I love her dearly.  We talk at least once a week if not more and never end a conversation without saying I love you. 

So thank you mom for being you.
