What You Leave Behind

What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

We all love a good quote.  A quote can make us think more deeply, stir our souls and even bring about change in our lives. 

While they can have some lasting impact we should not be about trying to come up with the next catchy quote or phrase to impact people. 

The impact that we ultimately have on people is found, and grounded, in how our lives intersect and impact those we lead and live with, our daily contacts, and even those we may just have a brief encounter with. 

If you truly want to leave your legacy be mindful of each daily interaction.  

Be kind.

Be compassionate. 

Be full of grace.

Be loving.

Be positive.

If you are going to leave anything behind weave these into people’s lives.

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.
