Have you ever had a bad morning? You know, when their isn’t enough milk for the cereal and then there is no bread for toast? Then, the traffic on the way to work is slow and in my case I hit a red light on the only stop light in town.
Some days things seem to just pile up on top of you before you even open your office door. When you get to work it’s like you almost need a break but there your people are. Needing you and your leadership.
Many days the challenge for us is to get ourself out of the way so we can focus on what other people need. If we can do that we are able to serve and lead them more effectively.
Don’t base your leadership on what you may need or on how your day is going. Lead from your heart focused on the needs of others and your day will immediately begin to be better and so will the people you lead.

Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
