You Missed It: Live2Lead
If you weren’t with us in SLC the past few days then you missed out in a big way. Our Live2Lead event was a HUGE success, and the ultimate launch to The Promise Institute. It was incredible to sit back and watch as our Founders led the way, guiding the VIP Experience with The Leadership […]
One Moment
I was 21. My Dad had told me about how great this entertainer was, someone I had never heard of, who had just signed a $150 Million contract in Las Vegas as an unknown headliner, and was the talk of the town. We took our seats. Lights went down. Music cranked. Suddenly he appeared and […]
Worst Service Ever
Sitting in a restaurant the other night I wondered if our food was ever going to come to the table after having waited an unreasonable amount for a server to take our order before remembering to bring water. As a business owner, I know there is an employment challenge right now, and as those in […]
What Do NYC, Honda, & The Homecoming Dance Have in Common? The Promise To The Family
This morning my wife and 2 oldest sons finally hopped a flight to NYC for a trip we have promised all of our children for their 13th birthdays. Seeing Manhattan when you’re from Salt Lake City, Utah is like going to…Manhattan. There’s nothing to compare it to, it’s so astounding. Maybe Mars? Sadly, Redford […]
Is Ted Lasso A Good Coach?
Ted Lasso just swept up at the Emmys. Good for them, it’s the best, and only, series on any streaming platform I’ve ever watched more than 3 episodes in a row. In fact, last year when I got a new computer and received the AppleTV+ subscription, I watched the first Ted Lasso episode and stated: […]
Applause for Jim: AV Guy
Let’s highlight Jim. At 7 AM on Thursday morning I showed up for a standard sound check prior to speaking for TUG, an association I had been booked to speak for over 2 years. Finally the event, postponed since last year, was here! Something was wrong with my laptop not connecting to the system, […]
What is Your Promise2Lead?
Over the past 2 months I have experienced a true life tragedy within an organization I’ve been a part of for 16 years. A complete loss of trust! An absolute mismanagement of emotions, rumors, deception tearing people of one heart and mind completely apart! Mistakes have been made high and low…and yet, even with […]
Everything That’s Wrong In Your Life
Everything that’s wrong in your life is because you broke a Promise to yourself! You may not like that statement, but having now dug deep enough into this language and concept, it stands up with some heavy testing. And don’t think I’m just pointing one finger at you, because three are pointing back at me, […]
The Promise To Lean In: A Skateboard & Life Lesson
It took a good hour before he went for it. Dropping into the bowl is a terrifying thought, as boys all around him easily zoomed up and down, encouraging and showing him how it could be done. The secret? You have to lean into it, you can’t lean back. Full commitment. Watching strangers come […]
The Olympic Promise To The TEAM: Caeleb Dressel
If you won a GOLD MEDAL, who would you give it to? If you’re Caeleb Dressel, you hop out of the pool after your team wins GOLD in the 4×100-meter RELAY, run to the bleachers, and toss that Gold Medal to someone in the stands! Shock and shrieking ensues as everyone wonders who is he […]
