Superfeet

Today myself, Jory, and Braden will travel up to Ferndale and visit the headquarters of Superfeet and meet with the CEO Scott and tour their facilities! I am so excited about this amazing opportunity to see and understand more of what Scott does and how he has grown a once tiny business into a multi-million dollar company.

A few things that Scott had shared was his focus on creating strong company values and ensuring that he communicated those values clearly. To Scott Superfeet has become a family a place that he can care and lead a group of people and show them the love that he was shown a few years ago.

I am also moving forward with the marketing plan for Malibu Leadership Weekend today, I hope to print and finalize a number of the pieces for our inviters. There is much to be done to prepare and see a successful launch carried out!

As I write this blog post I have found that it has simply become a way that I can update what I have been doing in my work. I hope to increase my writing here and have it become something that analyzes and looks at thoughts, quotes, books, movies and who knows what else in addition to what is happening in my life!

For now, enjoy the sun, love what the rain brings, and dream about reaching the stars.

Spring and new life

I can hardly believe how quickly time has flown by over the past 3 months! I have been working really hard at revamping the social media campaign of WSL and working on the ground meeting with students and planning and implementing the WSL Forum. We implemented and finished a great event in Olympia, the more I worked on this project the more I realized the love hate relationship I have of making events happen. The adrenaline and pressure to have every detail covered is amazing and difficult all at the same time.

For the Forum we had approximately 120 students in attendance, 2 incumbent leaders as facilitators for each small group, 3 phenomenal forum speakers, 3 beautiful spotlights, 6 seminars, 2 great musical performers. Everyone seemed to enjoy the time, and we are hoping to put together another great time up in Malibu to continue our discussions and bring the generations together.

My work in Bellingham has been growing and changing over the past months, after many discussions and connections my network has expanded and more people are gathering around the idea of intergenerational relationships. The biggest difficulty is following through with connections, some people let things slip and others make things happen. I have enjoyed seeing connections at The Fort grow, we brought in a number of incumbent leaders to share their lives and now have three mentors meeting with small groups and men in the house. I have connected 2 men to a great businessman in the area and we are touring his plant up in Ferndale tomorrow!

I have learned so much along this process, how to grow personal relationships and connect people to each other. I have deepened a few close strategic relationship and have been encouraged by these men as they have connected me to people and fought for me personally.

Caroline and I are eagerly looking forward to being married! It is only a few short months until our wedding and we are anticipating a great celebration of what God has done in our lives and in the lives of others.

I hope to keep up on my blog posts more in the coming weeks as my life continues to change and move as the wind moves and changes.

Thanks for checking in!
