Welcome to my scribblings.

This site houses my content creations over the years. It will be easier for my heirs to sort through digital files than boxes of paper sheathed in cobwebs in the cramped attic.

While there is some silly stuff here, there is a lot of content reflecting my passions - pursuing potential, finding fulfillment in work, and being the kind of leader who helps others do that.

🤔

I hope you find something herein that amuses, instructs, inspires, or -at least - gives you a break when you are so bored your teeth hurt.

Why the name?

Well, I originally named this site The Follow-through because...

I learned follow-through is vital in sports - you have to flick your wrist in basketball, swing through the baseball, and keep the club flowing after contact in golf. Follow-through completes the shot or the swing.

Follow-through is vital in life - we must commit to continuing a success strategy until its conclusion.

We must Follow-through to find our unique gifts.

We must Follow-through to find our passion and purpose.

We must Follow-through to get a deep sense of fulfillment and joy by living our best life.

Why now Point. Plant. Jump.?

These are the three steps to shooting a layup in basketball - the fundamentals for what should be the easiest shot to make. I taught our three kids these steps and am now teaching our grandkids. It's a little harder to demonstrate now that I have a one-inch vertical.

I first have them walk through each step in slow-motion over and over again to engage muscle memory - then we gradually speed up. The concept is a analogy for a theme that runs through most of my output - that we have a stewardship responsibility to Detect, Develop, and Deploy our unique gifts and talents. And, that we are leaders when we help others do the same to reach their full potential.

I want you to feel inspired, equipped, and encouraged to live your dreams and pursue your potential.

My Vision is a world of fulfilled potential where people are healthy and happy.

True leadership - in any context - is helping others reach for their full potential.

On this site, you can find a collection of my writings over the last 30 years to complement new content should the muse strike.

There are columns I wrote for a local, small-town newspaper and some articles previously published here and there. I have also included my attempts at humor and some short stories to induce somnolence if you've run out of Ambien. And, there are new blog posts from time to time.
