Words Matter

Words Matter!  Your words matter.  You have the incredible opportunity to build people up every day in every interaction you have.

You don’t have to have a title to speak respectfully to someone.  You don’t have to take a three week course to learn how to do it.

I believe we all have it inside of us.  The ability to make a positive impact on those around us.

It’s a matter of choice.  Don’t let outside influences or a negative situation make you forget that words matter.

The most important decision you make today will be to speak positively and respectfully to those around you.

This is the first step in making a difference in the world around you.  Everyone’s world could use someone to help make a difference with a kind word.  Let that be you today.

I’m cheering for you.

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.
