Thankful for Leadership Lessons from Ender’s Game, Time with Gavin, & Listening to Migrating Birds

Day 3,451

Growth:

As I’ve found the past few times I’ve read it, Ender’s Game continues to provide engaging and inspiring leadership lessons. While a fiction it has so many moments of leadership that one can learn and grow from. The lessons I picked up from this past read were largely focused on team building, messaging, and delegation. One of many reasons I read this book once a year!

Appreciation:

What a weekend! As I lay in bed typing I’m already halfway asleep, ready to zonk out before the alarm wakes me up for my run in the morning. Lots of bonding with Gavin over the past 24 hours or so, so thankful for each of the moments and interactions we had! We may both be tired, but we were both actively engaged as we had our time together.

Presence:

On our hike this afternoon Gavin and I paused in the woods to listen. We completely stopped and took in the sounds of all the migratory birds singing and talking. So many different call, so much beauty all around.

Thanks!!!
