If you are a leader you have many different conversations throughout the day. Again, let’s clarify that everyone is a leader. Some have a title but we are all leading.
So why will people come and talk to you? Why do they send you an email, a text, or make a phone call to talk?
Is it because of your title? A few of the questions, the surface level questions, may be because of the title, but for the meaningful conversations the answer is a resounding NO.
People don’t reach out to you because of what you do, they will come to you because of who you are.
They will reach out and want to have the meaningful conversations because they know they won’t get what you can give them anywhere else.
Reminder for the day. It’s not your title or what you do, it’s who you are that matters most to people.
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.
