Thomas Woodrow Wilson served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913-1921.
This quote, credited to him, is a reminder to everyone of the importance of not going through life, or your leadership journey, alone.
Asking for help is scary. It may make you feel vulnerable, but I would argue that it is a sign of strength. It makes you look authentic, honest, and confident.
Too many people practice the old adage, “fake it ’til you make it”. That is a bad practice. It may allow for a brief time of victory, but it will not be long term because it is fake, a masquerade, and a solo venture.
Leaders who try to do it on their own will eventually fail. Bring people alongside of you. Help them to be better, reach their potential and discover their own talents and gifts.
A big vision needs help, and since you are asking people to help you with the brainpower why not ask them for some help from their hands and their hearts as well.
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.

In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education.

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.
