I am on the road.

Again.

Four events in six days.

From New Orleans to Canada.

And Hilton Head to Dallas.

I am blessed to have my bride with me this week.

She signed up to be a true road warrior.

Why?

Because we are celebrating 27 years of marriage.

And on our anniversary, we would be in Niagara Falls, Canada.

A beautiful place to celebrate.

As we walked along the falls trying to take it all in, I was struck by the beauty and the partnership of everything in and around the falls.

There were tour guides taking people literally into the falls.

It was majestic and magical.

Everything connected.

The sky.

The trees.

The rocks.

The water.

Everything flowed.

The intense beauty of the falls was stunning.

Raging eloquence and peaceful bliss all at once.

I began to think about our relationship.

Our partnership of 27 years.

The highs and lows.

The beauty and flow.

The intense moments and the rocks’ jagged edges.

The river of life is full of twists and turns.

Wonderment.

…and danger.

We need people to help guide us along the way.

Partners to help us steer clear of the rough waters and appreciate the depth and beauty of the journey.

Partnerships have a nature to them.

A flow.

A rhythm that amplifies the connection.

In life and business, we need partners who elevate, appreciate, and validate our natural abilities.

Those who keep us on course and hold us accountable to our potential.

Real relationships add beauty and bring deep meaning to our work and life.

I am grateful beyond measure for the past 27 years with Lisa.

Through the rough rapids and calm waters, it has been an amazing journey.

Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you and let the nature of true partnership flow into your life.

Stop Chasing Greatness (It’s Looking for You)

I know. It doesn’t make sense. After all, we’ve been told to crush our goals, do great things, and live our dreams. But what if we’ve had it backwards and greatness was actually looking for us? Consider the people we aspire to be like. The ones who make us stop in our tracks and admire […]

Be Gloria Kind

I attended a funeral on Friday. My dear Aunt Gloria passed away at the age of 76. My aunt was never on time for anything. And this is one thing we wish she would have been late for. My Uncle Jim asked if I would say a few words. It was my honor to do […]

Commit to the Gift

A few years ago, I was speaking at a business forum in Washington D.C. The room was packed with CEOs from all over the world. I was nervous. In a good way. My 30 minutes was solid. I had brought my A-game that day. They graciously awarded me with a standing ovation. I was filled […]
