A New Tool To Help You Live It Every Day!

We love our graduates to have as many tools as possible to help them succeed in living their dreams. Graduate forums, journaling, and music CD's are all a part of helping keep us all on track.

Now, there is a completely new way for you to get a recharge and keep your focus and passion strong. It's the new radio show hosted by Scott V. Black every Saturday.

You already know Scott as the CEO and Master Trainer of Empower U, but now you have the opportunity to interact directly with him during his show, "Under Construction with Mr. Black."

The show airs every Saturday from 12:00 noon until 1:00 pm Central Time (see below for your time zone). Scott invites you to call in and participate directly in the process. This is an outstanding opportunity to take your life to the next level with Empower U's Master Trainer.

Making a Difference - David Ray, Team 467

As I contemplated the activity I would do to give back, I realized my mission and results from Leadership Awakening were to give back. But I realized in Leadership Awakening that I was giving, just not to the right people – my wife and my children. What I wasn't giving to them was me and my time, up until now.

Therefore I thought about giving back and realized that I give significantly to my community with community service groups - Kiwanis, Boys and Girls Clubs or Ada County Board Member and Methodist Church financial committee. It might be safe to say that with my work and my community service that I performed on a regular basis is what has left that void in my life, which is time spent with those who mean the most to me, my family.

Therefore I decided to "get out of my comfort zone" when it came to my children and give more of my valuable time to them. I chose to take my four year old son, Lance, to work with me. Now keep in mind that this is a busy physical therapy practice; phone calls for me, patients needing my time for 30 minutes at a time with no interruptions and a four year old who needs to eat, play and have Dad's attention was always a concern of mine. I have always been concerned with not imposing on someone else's time and to not inconvenience anyone, especially my patients.

This was one of the best days of my life. To see the look on my son's face when he said, "Daddy, can I go to work with you?" and to be told "Yeah, you bet!" instead of, "No, Daddy's too busy," was a moment I will never forget. In addition, the look on Jill's face when she realized I had said yes to Lance instead of no again.

I know now that he feels that no matter how busy I am that he is still my priority. I was able to give to him, even though I was busy, and he could be a part of what takes his Daddy away from him so much.

I struggled with whether this would fulfill the assignment requirements, as the request was to choose one new thing that I can give of myself to others and not be something that I am currently doing. However, when I though longer about it, that is exactly what I needed to do as my assignment because I was not giving to my children the time they need from me. I know it had a tremendous impact on Lance, as he his still talking about going to work with Daddy.

I have felt so much more at a balance with my work and my time with family that it has benefited me to feel that my children know that I love them a opposed to just telling them that I love them. All my children have told me, since Leadership Awakening, that they love me and the beauty of it all is that they say it out of the blue and with such emphasis and compassion that I realize that things like taking them to work and spending more time with them has truly made us a closer family. After all, leadership is about personal growth.

I realized that what I gave to my son, simply my time, came back to me in a form of love and connection that has made us much closer and helped him communicate with me instead of becoming frustrated or withdrawing. Great moments.
