Famed singer John Denver had an impact on West Virginia. His song “Country Roads” is now one of the four (4) state songs. The story is as follows: “John Denver was giving a commencement speech to his old high school and offered encouragement to the graduates and audience to simply be themselves in all things. He said: “The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don’t have to copy anyone else. If you do, you’re second best. To achieve success is to be first, and that’s being yourself.”
It has been written that Denver recalled how after high school he went on to Texas Tech with the intention of becoming an architect. But he quit, becoming a singer instead. Not one person said he was doing the right thing. “I was told I was making a mistake.” Denver noted. “I was turned down for the shows at Six Flags, and wound up handling the little cars that kids drive to make money and support myself.” Click here to read more

Energy Leadership Big Problem or Huge Opportunity?

A company once sent two shoe salespeople to an area in Africa where they had never sold any shoes. One was of their senior, most experienced salesmen, Tom, and they expected big things of him.
The other was an optimistic rookie named Cynthia. She didn’t have much experience, but she had a lot of enthusiasm. They figured she might be able to sell a few pair of shoes.
Shortly after their arrival in Africa, Tom, the experienced salesperson wrote the home office saying, “You might as well bring me back. Nobody here wears shoes.”
The rookie, Cynthia, wired the home office an urgent message: “Send me all the shoes you’ve got. Nobody here is wearing shoes!”

You may have heard this “joke” before – but it illustrates a key difference between anabolic and catabolic leaders. Two people, faced with the same situation, yet having totally different reactions. What’s the difference between them? In a word, it’s energy - Tom is catabolic and Cynthia is anabolic. Catabolic people see problems and challenges everywhere, and in everything. Anabolic people see opportunity and possibility. And not only do they see opportunity, but they take action to capitalize on it.
Most of the time, people focus on what’s wrong – in their lives, their businesses, the world. They complain, moan, and don’t take a lot of action – and why would they, because they just know that there are more problems and challenges ahead. This is catabolic, destructive energy – and it surrounds us every day. Click here to read more...
