Thanksgiving week. A week to take some time to reflect and rejoice in all that you have and all that you have experienced.
Let’s also take some time together to look briefly at some things in our leadership and personal journey that can all be used to help us grow and become better.
Today, be thankful for the trials. They are never fun to go through and deal with but trials are a part of life and can be used to make us stronger, wiser, and better.
I also believe that the trials we go through, as a leader and as a person, are preparing us to help someone else through the same thing down the road. The trials that we go through can all be used for good if we will let them.
Learn from your trials and then be alert to the opportunities where your experiences can be used to help someone else through the trials they are going through.
Good times and bad times…All meant for your good and to be used to help someone else.
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.
