It would be nice to be on the receiving end of this, and chances are you will, but let’s start by giving it first. What goes around, comes around.
The most important part of this is the first line. Be Present.
To do any of the others, and make a difference doing what follows that first line, you have to make sure you are present first.
Being present means being fully present and engaged in the moment. Not just your physical body in the same place but fully present, intentional, and engaged, using all of your senses.
Being present and in the moment requires discipline. Discipline from being distracted by your phone, your surroundings, and what’s going on in your own life.
Once you can be fully present you are then ready to make a difference by being kind, complimenting people, and helping them to use their strengths.
Make a difference in your world today, and begin by being fully present.
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.
