Today tell those around you that you appreciate them. Tell them. Not in a note, an email or a text but face to face.
If you don’t see them today do it the next time you see them. If you won’t have a chance to see them, then call them. Let them hear you say it.
There is so much good we can do with the technology and the ever changing world that we live in, but we can also lose the ability to verbally express our appreciation for the people in our professional and personal life.
I would even go so far as to have a crazy idea that we not just make this a one time thing but make this a part of our daily life. Weave it into the fabric of who we are and how we treat others.
Don’t fall for the thinking that people “know I care about them”. People need to hear it. Tell 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.
