As I review the month of January, I cannot thank this growing community of leaders enough!!!  “Thank You” simply doesn’t feel sufficient but it’s the best I can do.  Here are some of the highlights from the first 31 days of 2025:

• In the 15+ years of this website, January was the most read month in this site’s history!!!  Wow!!!
• My latest book The Games Leaders Play: How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life continued to show up on various best-seller lists.  I’m so thrilled with the difference this book in making in the lives of leaders.  If you haven’t gotten copies for your entire team yet, click HERE to order.
• I appeared on two podcasts – Linch With A Leader (see my recap below) and The Church Talk Podcast.  Make sure you listen to both.
• Finally, I created a FREE downloadable resource with my partners at Netline entitled 6 Signs You Are Elite At What You Do Checklist to add value to high-achieving leaders like yourself.

None of this would have been possible without your constant consumption of these articles and passing them along to your friends.  Thank you!

Now I want to point you back to the content.
