A Warm Glow in Iowa

By Scott V. Black

I just returned from the great state of Iowa. We conducted our first Leadership Awakening in Iowa, Des Moines to be exact. Team 500 was an incredible group of 16 people. It started as 17 individuals and morphed into a team of 16 committed, powerful leaders. Mark Parriott with Maytag was on staff and his wife Tammy, who is a graduate of Awakening and Adventure, was in the audience at graduation. I returned on Sunday and on Monday I was CC’d on an email she sent to her Leadership Adventure team. I want to share that email with you:

Team,

I had the privilege of attending an Awakening graduation in Iowa yesterday. It was truly an inspiration to me, this was a group of 16 graduates and the passion in the room was overwhelming. I want to share some of the highlights and I hope that they will inspire you as they did me.

  • A young man (in his 20’s) gave an inspiring speech and then stood up and hugged his father for the first time in his life. It really touched me, they weren’t bad people just people who didn’t share emotions. The impact that this will have for his family is amazing!!! For our team the message is: “Don’t leave anybody out there who needs a hug without a hug, especially someone you love.” (I will be going to school and hugging some of my ‘hard to hug’ kids tomorrow)

My Mission Statement: Steve Castle, Team 489
========================================================
We're excited to offer you the opportunity to hold yourself even more accountable. One way to do this is by sharing your personal mission statement with your fellow graduates. Today begins a new regular feature for "Let the Journey Continue" in which you can read—and be inspired by—mission statements of your fellow Empower U Graduates.
========================================================

I am committed to positively impacting the lives of others by illuminating a path to stronger interpersonal relationships, freedom of choices, and better and longer lives. I will accomplish this through daily focused actions of empowerment, purpose, and commitment conducted with integrity, vision, and passion.

I will lead by example; by personally traveling along this path each and every day of my life; by mentoring others to discover their own path to a fulfilling life; and by leaving the world a better place because I have made a difference being here.

Achieve More By Holding Yourself Even More Accountable

You can take your own accountability to live your dreams up a notch by sharing your goals with others. To help you do this we'd like you to send us a copy of your mission statement. We'd also like your permission to include it in this newsletter.

Why?

For 2 reasons:

  1. It helps you be more accountable when you share your mission statement with others.

  2. It inspires others to re-visit their mission statement more regularly.

In other words, it's a win-win situation for everyone. So step over the line to help yourself and help all of your fellow graduates by sending in your mission statement. Just click here to send it.

Making A Difference - Karryn Wilson, Team 490
EmpowerU Team,

As I committed to do something for someone else within 30 days of my awakening graduation, I am pleased to be writing an update.

I had an idea what I wanted to do even before I left awakening. I have always wanted to feed the homeless or provide some sort of service in that area. I went to a mandatory orientation May 5 with a non profit organization here in Sacramento called Loaves & Fishes.

They had several different programs available to choose from. What stood out to me was a program called Sister Nora’s Place which is an emergency overnight shelter designed to provide a safe and hospitable environment for severely traumatized homeless women. Case by case, the goal is to transition these homeless women into more stable and permanent housing.

What I will be doing is cooking and serving the dinner meal for the 13 women in the shelter. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do this in the time frame of 30 days but wanted to give an update of my intentions. I will write again about my actual experience after I do it. Thanks for challenging me and for keeping me accountable.
