I was going to write an article today, but I’m too high. In fact, this is my second day living out of a trailer at 9,000 feet while I attend an immersive,\u00a06-day leadership training in the Uintah Mountains.<\/p>\n
I’m spending about 10 hours a day in leadership training. In the evenings I meet back with my family at the trailer. They’re here, too.<\/p>\n
My daughter, Emma, is old enough to attend her own week-long leadership camp. I won’t see her again until Friday.<\/p>\n
The rest are wearing my wife out getting dirty or doing crafts. I’ll debrief my wife Sunday and tell you later if the family<\/em> version of this training was a good idea.<\/p>\n You might think we’re learning about wood-craft and orienteering. Well, we’re in the woods. So there’s an element of that.<\/p>\n The majority of the content comes from respected thinkers in the business world like “Ken Blanchard (author of the One Minute Manager<\/i> series of books), Stephen R. Covey (author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People<\/i> and Principle-Centered Leadership<\/i>), and Spencer Johnson (author of Who Moved My Cheese<\/i>).”<\/span><\/p>\n For more details about the business content of these trainings see woodbadge.ws\/employer<\/a>.<\/p>\n I have to admit, my original motivation for signing up for this course was mostly to shut up the people that keep telling me that I just\u00a0have to go<\/em>.<\/p>\n Now, I’m glad I’m here. I was surprised to hear where the material comes from. I’m excited by the authors we’re hearing from and that I can include my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was going to write an article today, but I’m too high.
