This week's Leadership Orlando was very video heavy, so I'll be sprinkling them throughout my posts in the next coming weeks. This one was very motivational and brought tears to many eyes... mine included!

Politics and Media
This past week was very politics-focused for me. Luckily, not the normal office or club politics of my life, but "real politics." I took a deep dive into what makes local politics tick in Orlando. And the consensus among everyone running: advertising and social media are super critical to their campaigns. In my Leadership Orlando class,… Continue reading Politics and Media
A Village, A Main Street – Orlando Rocks
So I'll get back to media in my next post, but for now I still have to crush on Orlando a little bit. Also during my last class at Leadership Orlando I learned about the upcoming Creative Village and the Orlando Main Street project. The Creative Village is a 15- to 20- year project that… Continue reading A Village, A Main Street – Orlando Rocks
Getting to know business in Orlando
I had no idea there were so many small companies with ten or less employees in Orlando. Did you know that this size company makes up 90% of Orlando's companies and contributes 40% of overall jobs? Six percent of all companies in Orlando are between the size of 11 and 50, and they make up… Continue reading Getting to know business in Orlando
Affirmative Inquiry vs. Problem Solving
I watched a panel that included some movers and shakers who developed the beginnings of the "Super Region" of Florida, which includes 15 primary counties and seven secondary counties from Daytona to Tampa and all east to west of Florida. They discussed how collaboration among the region has made us a stronger region, but much… Continue reading Affirmative Inquiry vs. Problem Solving
Medical technology is off-the-chain
This past week I got the opportunity to visit the CAMLS (Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation) in Tampa and learned about how advanced the training of doctors has become. It's just an incredible process with almost human-like practice dummies, so-new medical devices that they're literally proto-typed there in the 3D lab and tested by doctors instantly, and simulation rooms… Continue reading Medical technology is off-the-chain
Collaborative Lessons in Leadership
I finally made it back to a class at Leadership Orlando. The past two times I was in the sales trainings I've mentioned about in earlier posts. This time, we all met at Medical City and did tours of the UCF School of Medicine and a bus tour around the new VA hospital. These were great… Continue reading Collaborative Lessons in Leadership
More Sales Love
I just came back from Atlanta where I got to learn more idiosyncraticities (I know that this isn't a word, but it fits) of the sales process. There was a lot of art and science in regards to the process and the biggest thing I learned is that as a sales person, you should be looking for… Continue reading More Sales Love
Make Each Day Great
Gary C. Sain was one of the hardest working men in the hospitality industry. He was known for packing more into a day than most of us do in a week and I have fond memories of him walking around the rock garden of YPB&R while on conference calls in order to get his number… Continue reading Make Each Day Great
Ah Ha Moments When Learning to Lead
I really enjoyed the first two days of the leadership seminar I'm attending! I felt like it was a lot of great information jampacked in, but there were some great nuggets that I'd like to share with you to give you a leadership advantage as well. Most of these things were re-learnings where it's helpful to… Continue reading Ah Ha Moments When Learning to Lead
