Resilient – able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. Strong and tough. Does that sound like you?
Life happens and then it keeps happening. It doesn’t stop or slow down. In fact sometimes it just punches you in the face. The sooner you come to accept that and even embrace it the better you will be.
Your mindset is the key.
Do you have a fixed mindset that sees life as a test that you either pass or fail? Black and white?
Or…
Do you have a growth mindset where you believe everything happens to you for a reason, is in your best interest and is an opportunity?
I spent too many years with a fixed mindset. It has been a process for me to develop more of a growth mindset the past few years but I have found more resilience and strength since I made a commitment to being more growth minded.
I’m still working on it daily. I have to make the choice day by day, moment by moment to see what is happening to me and around me through a growth mindset lens.
It won’t happen automatically or overnight but I believe that if you will make the commitment to having a growth mindset you will be able to handle life and the moments that come at you with more resilience and strength as well.
A growth mindset will not only help you but it will help the people that you interact with, lead and love every day.
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.
