What We Should Strive For

Have you ever had to not say what you want to say? 
OK, that question isn’t even fair. 
We all have.

Often times the most effective thing we can do in a situation is to not say what we want to say.  To hold our tongue. 

Saying the right words at the right time is so important but not saying the wrong words when everything inside of you tells you to say them is one of the most difficult things we have to do as human beings. 

To be an encourager, a dealer of hope, and a creator of moments you will often times be called upon to say the right words but many times it was what you will choose not to say that will have a lasting effect.

Silence will sometimes allow you to continue to build positive and lasting relationships.  Be aware of when you may need to leave some things unsaid. 

I’m cheering for you.

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.
