Friends,
This is a crazy time. I hope you’re all safe and adhering to the advice provided by the medical professionals. I hope this message will both comfort you and embolden you to have courage in this unprecedented health crisis. The COVID-19 virus is nondiscriminate and the path to safety requires we all do our part.
We are in this together.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone in life who has only had an upward trajectory. Most of us have had times when we’ve been up, times when we’ve been down, and times when we weren’t quite sure if we were up or down, we just knew we were uncomfortable. But...
If you’ve been a leader—in any capacity—whether it’s in a business or sports setting, at home with children, or in your group of friends, you have probably encountered the ankle-biting doubt demon known as fear. Are you enough? Can you get the job done? Will you make...
If you have ever started a project with full confidence and inspiration, only to be left empty of both within a short while, you have experienced what I call a “gumption trap”. These traps halt progress, seize forward momentum, plant seeds of doubt and destruction,...

Thank you so much for this encouragement. I am so worried about my dental practice, not knowing when we are going to be able to open again. I really needed to hear this tonight. ” Turn fear into Fuel.” That is great.

What a powerful, grounding force! Thanks for taking the time in a storm of doubt and fear to be a lighthouse Of hope! Much love and many blessings! Thank you!
With so much Covid-19 mess flying around and disrupting life as we knew it, if we all stepped more into the leadership lighthouse role, it would help the recovery of this country and across the globe. Harnessing leadership skills and sharing them with our co-workers, family, friends and neighbors, should be the focus we have daily.

Greetings Mr. Addison!
Loved your Momma’s advice to act pretty (not sure if that was the exact wording). I’ve been making a special effort to be friendly and courteous to people at the grocery store as they’re in the terrible grips of fear and desparately need a smile.
Lorraine, this is such a great practice to start and keep up, before and after these uncertain times we are in.
Glad to see you’re making a wonderful effort to impact lives positively!
Keep it up.
John
