now it’s official

August 31, 2007

Fall officially begins today (atleast in my book) with the start of college football season. There’s nothing like College Gameday with Lee Corso making his picks. There’s nothing like the atmosphere in the stadium right before kickoff. There’s nothing like Florida State making 6 coaching changes with the hopes of exceeding last [...]

a story worth telling

August 30, 2007

My daughter Emma started Kindergarten last week, and to say that she loves it would be a gross understatement. When I walk through the door after work I’m bombarded with a play-by-play of everything that took place in Ms. Hutcherson’s class. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
After her first day, I was [...]

collaboration

August 29, 2007

I love the structure and dynamic of the management team at C3. That word “team” is not incidental or accidental. Although we do have our defined roles, most of what is accomplished is the result of collaboration. As we work through message planning, vision-casting, and long-range strategy, it’s amazing how ideas are born and refined [...]

sunday night rewind

August 27, 2007

It was ONE, CRAZY Sunday morning. In celebration of our ONE year anniversary as C3 Church, we looked back on our transition and looked forward to the coming year. The theme of the morning was ONE and how signficant that number is to Jesus. We’ll continue to be about ONE man, ONE [...]

what leaders can learn from a tiger – pt 3

August 24, 2007

Laser-Sharp FocusEver since turning pro in 1996, Tiger has been clear about his ultimate goal. There is one record that consumes his thoughts and drives his discipline. There is one milestone that will define his career. Tiger wants to break Jack Nicklaus’ record of winning 18 majors. (For you non-golfers, [...]

what leaders can learn from a tiger – pt 2

August 23, 2007

Talent ain’t the Ticket
Tiger might be one of the most talented athletes on the planet, but that’s not what makes him great. There are a number of talented golfers that aren’t even on the PGA tour. There are a number of talented basketball and football players that never make it to the highest level. There [...]

what leaders can learn from a tiger

August 21, 2007

I thoroughly enjoy playing golf. My time on the course has been greatly diminished over the past few years (3 kids will do that to you), but I still love playing. If you’ve ever attempted to hit a golf ball, you know how difficult and frustrating the game can be. It also allows you to [...]

it goes by in a blink

August 21, 2007

I woke up this morning and the little girl I brought home from the hospital 5 years ago began her government-sanctioned education today. (That’s Kindergarten for those of you keeping score.) Emma took it in stride and had a great day, which is more than I can say for mom and dad. It’s milestones like [...]
