Talk on Elisha
Backstage Pass
Got to experience the taping of a live television show last night as a VIP thanks to our daughter, Jill, who works as a writer’s assistant for Warner Brothers Studios in LA. Watching a show on television doesn’t even begin to give an accurate picture of what goes on behind the scenes. I tend to […]

Just a few more days until Christmas and there is a buzz at LifeQuest.

Leaving Your Mark
Even though my mom was old fashioned I loved her very much. Of course, I still do-but frankly, I don’t know how I survived my childhood. She imposed so many restrictions on me. I was never allowed to express myself by coloring on the walls and she demanded that I behave in the grocery store. […]
Random Leadership Lessons
Every time I attend a Leadership Summit, I come away with a myriad of thoughts and ideas spinning around in my head. Today was no exception as leaders from around the world spoke about leading from where you are. Here are just a few things I was challenged to think about. • How you finish […]
