A first impression is important but I believe that the most memorable moment of an experience is the end.
How you manage the endings makes an impact and really matters.
You key up for the end of a game, the final scene in a movie or play, or the closing chord of an uplifting song. The endings matter and oftentimes are what you remember.
Crucial conversations may start tense but can end positively if you focus on how you want things to end. How you conclude a conversation can lift someone up and produce a positive experience for both of you.
Living and leading is not always easy but if you operate with the end in mind your impact and your legacy will be far reaching.
Manage and be intentional with the endings of the moments that you are given and lead all the way to the end of them.
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.
