Is Your Smart Phone Making You Stupid?
The smarter our smart phones get, the dumber we're becoming behind the wheel of a car.
Teens get blasted for texting and driving, but let me tell you, it isn't just kids. While I don't text and drive, I do have my unsafe moments of cell phone use. Those of us who are older and "wiser" are guilty of our own set of cell phone violations – looking up numbers, dialing while driving, reading email, etc…
There's a line in this video, "What is worth losing your life over? That text message?" That question stopped me dead in my tracks of cell phone usage.
You see, even though my car is equipped with bluetooth and I've got two hands on the wheel, I find myself looking up phone numbers, dialing, and pressing send while driving. No more even just a little distraction for me. Watch this, join me, and let's live longer, healthier lives while driving safely for us and those other people on the road.
Really! How busy are you that it can't wait until conditions to text or call are safe?

Do You Really Know Who You Are?
Do you really know who you are? Are you maturing or just getting older?
Purpose is ultimately a spiritual matter. Most of us are on neutral ground when we talk in terms of mind, body, spirit. For two decades people of many faiths and even people of no faith have participated in and benefited from the On-Purpose® Approach as it is. It just works because the principles are universal!
When Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce President Mark Goldstein urged me to offer the program from a solidly Christian point of view to the Chamber members, I resisted. Not because I was unwilling, but because I am the Board Chair and didn't want to abuse my position. Mark pressed hard upon me and prevailed with the Board's blessings. Could they really say no? See the problem?
My Christian faith is the central point of integration for my life. Generally, I don't wear it on my sleeve, nor do I hide it. I like the idea of having "living water language" that is both secular and sacred. So much of Christianity is riddled with jargon and scripture references that is an unnecessary barrier to entry to the faith. Jesus taught in parables when not dealing with the religious elites. On-Purpose makes faith more accessible to all.
Therefore, in partnership with the Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce, I am thrilled to share with you the replay of the first ever On-Purpose Leader Experience for Christians. Here is a link so you can listen. (55 minutes plus 20 minutes of Q&A)
If you are serious about maturing as a leader of your life, then you want to invest an hour of your life to transform your life. This six-week experience is that good. Registration for this experience closes after Monday, September 20. Please listen in and join me for the next five weeks so you, too, can…
Be On-Purpose!
