Day 3 - on leadership & sunshine

Sunny & Warm Greetings!

I don't mean to make ya'll jealous but here's a picture of where I'm staying... soooo, as Rebecca wipes the melts the icicles off her nose, I consider transplanting Regina Rescue Mission to Irvine, California...

This morning's keynote speaker was one of my favourite authors, John Townsend. Then I spent 3 sessions with the Chief People Officer of the Russ Reid Company, learning about coaching as a leader. It was very excellent.

I believe each one of us is a leader, no matter what our role. That's because, in some capacity, we are always being watched, and looked to by someone who is not quite as far down the road as we are.

So, you may be leading your children, or your staff, or clients, or perhaps people who you don't even realize are observing you and seeing what you're made of! Hopefully it isn't bluecheese or something.

Letty and I went for a nice little walk around the grounds today. It was chilly; I had to do up my buttons. lol. I had a good talk with Bruce over dinner and we are planning when to go up to Hope Gospel Mission in Edmonton this month. I filled him in on Ken's elusive search for our Shelter.

After dinner we had a local group do a "Whose Line Is It Anyway" performance and it was very hilarious! And clean, which was refreshing. I guess it's geared to family, so if someone says something appropriate for the swear jar, they have to wear a bag over their head for the whole competition. AND, if the audience suggests something bad, THEY have to wear a bag! LOL. He said, "Somehow, I don't think I'm going to have to worry to much with this crowd."

And, while I am blogging, the infamous ice cream social is going on. I'm going to wander downstairs and return Letty's laptop now.

Ya'll (I CAN'T STOP THE AMERI-SPEAK!) have a good night, now, ya hear!?

Love,
Michelle
