A sincere pat on the back

Thanksgiving dinner, September 5.
  • Dining Hall.
  • Simple sunlight and plastic drinking cups.
  • Fancy plates hold an exquistly plated meal, for a backcountry environment.
  • Sperry Chalet’s world-famous lemonade.
  • A stark reminder.
  • Evening stroll, ever further from dorm hotel. One final Fireweed bloom before winter?
  • We surprised each other. i found a place to sit and reflect. The Goat was simply passing through.
  • Magnificent creature, as are humans. Mutual appreciation?
  • Speaking of creation, a salad like this, deep in the backcountry is literally a miracle to behold.

In case you missed the career BFO

Disney Customer Service Keynote speaker in mountains
CEO of Me, Inc.

It takes a Village. Grateful to have a remarkable group of characters encouraging and inspiring me.

Genuine leaders read and write about leadership. Consistently. Passionately. Purposefully. Investing time to absorb and produce content is the essential “genuine leader” foundation. 

The long way is the shortcut.

Grow at work

Mountain chalet by lake
The “vision” built nine Glacier National Park Chalets. Each Chalet a one-day horseback ride from the next. Today, only two of the Great Northern Railway’s Chalets remain. i stay at both as often as possible.

Why work from anywhere, including Granite Park Chalet, deep in the middle of nowhere?

Growth mindset.

Guilt for contributing

Two smiling adults giving as thumbs up
Morgan can only do so much when her Guests are in need. It is often wonderful when a random Guest (in this case me) provides an awesome solution.

Dear Son, sometimes you will feel guilty for being vibrant at work. Be vibrant at work anyway.
