Martial arts lessons for life, and vice versa. RSS feed for this section. Molly and the Indomitable Spirit. I attended a taekwondo tournament this past Saturday. At two hours away from Duluth, it is one of the closer tournaments available to our students, so I encourage them to participate since there are few such convenient opportunities. Tournament competition is an infrequent experience for nearly all of our students, so I like for them to have it and to benefit from it. 2 If you want to share a Joy, ...

Martial arts lessons for life, and vice versa. RSS feed for this section. I recently returned from my fifth year helping to run our Rotary district’s week-long youth leadership camp. How does a volunteer team of more than forty mostly-20-somethings help to empower nearly 150 mostly-17-year-olds? A paraphrase of what one camper said last year summarizes it well: “I came here expecting to learn a cardboard cutout of what it means to be a great leader. Instead, you showed me. I ended up with the two locatio...

Martial arts lessons for life, and vice versa. Bringing Up the Rear. The best boards went to the lowest rank and youngest kids. Most had to be allowed to use a very basic kick, done more powerfully, to get the job done. And they did. There were extra chances, extra drama, and some extra coaching, but I wasn’t going to hold them back for my mistake. Rather, I helped them step it up to get the job done. I would be sure to help them as much as they needed to succeed. That’s what a leader does. I am the lead...

So, there’s Norepinephrine (hey, at least I actually started college as a biology major) and then there’s Matt. Of course, I imagine thousands of people looking in on class on their TVs via hidden cameras, like a reality television show, thinking, How can they let him get away with that? But I continually get better at not doing that. Another topic, another time. Back to Matt and us. Viktor Frankl d...

Martial arts lessons for life, and vice versa. Four or Five Pairs of Pants. The other evening I got a text from one my two female instructors who were covering classes in my absence as I attended a Rotary appreciation dinner. The report came in: Class went well. Those short words referenced the kids class, and meant more than their brevity portrayed. Rotary has its own guidelines for life. The primary guide is known as The Four Way Test:.

Martial arts lessons for life, and vice versa. Struggling with Low T. This time of year, I have some challenges with the Presidents. By that I mean the presidents of the seven BNI chapters with whom I work. The presidents, or in some cases, the larger leadership teams, work with me in various ways to identify the incoming fall leadership.
