My leadership development guidebook, Millennials Matter was inspired by three timeless principles. Almost everything I've written since the publication of Millennials Matter revolves around these core concepts:
  • Strengthen Your Character
  • Lead with Confidence
  • Engage in Collaboration
But are they still relevant in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world? A world marked by digital disruption, cultural shifts, and global economic and political upheaval?

I enjoy hiking the hills on our ranch, Eagle Springs. My favorite path is next to a vibrant Quaking Aspen grove. Every season, I'm amazed at their beauty. Plus, these treks are a great source of leadership development insight and inspiration. In the fresh outdoors, I’m often surprised by the leadership strategies that nature teaches me... if I tune in. As my friend Jill Konrath says, "Walking is working."

Our first stop on our recent trip around the world (24 time zones in 23 days), was with our daughter, Danae, who's co-director of STEMM, a medical/educational mission in the foothills of Kilimanjaro.   While there, I trained local educational leaders on principles from my eBook,  5 Success Mindsets to Create Breakthrough Results. Gordon was grateful to see that I only packed an eBook and did NOT bring an extra bag to tow leadership development books!

I often find inspiration for leadership strategy in unexpected places. One such source is in my own backyard – our Quaking Aspen Grove.  Quaking Aspens have a striking appearance and remarkable resilience. They are first to break forth with green in the spring, and the last to lose their brilliant colors in the fall. What can we learn from them? What wellspring of leadership wisdom might we find in studying them?
