We have lift off!

I never thought I could actually figure out how to do a crazy blog thing, but here we are. Just a quick update on where I am and what I've been doing. Late January I got the opportunity to realize my goal of retirement from the corporate world. After 30 years working for the "man" I am now freelancing. I work with Grand Dynamics in Jackson Hole, Wyoming http://www.granddynamics.com/ It has been an incredible learning experience and a complete 180 from where I was before. I am quickly learning to be the sales and marketing division which has its challenges and rewards. Just last month we launched our new book, Seeking True North http://www.seekingtruenorth.com/ It has been a great learning experience for me and you will see that I "steal" thoughts from the book as they are things I have taken and made habits of in my own life.

Last week (middle of June) we did a program on Teton Mountain for a group and was treated to a January-like snow day to help create some pretty strong dynamics for the outdoor team bulding events. We ended that day with an Inuit blanket toss, I've added a couple pictures for you to see, it was a lot of fun.

This week I head to Chicago to certify on Emotional Intelligence. If you think about it EQ is the partner to IQ, it is the soft skills like self awareness, stress tolerance, happiness and optimism. I am really looking forward to the 5 days, it will be awesome. From there it will be home to Hurricane to do battle with the tumbleweeds! Hope to see you all along the way.
