Friday morning could not have begun more powerfully for our 200+ ambassadors as they were treated to the professional perspective of keynote speaker Tim Lyons, President of Haggar Clothing Co. Passionate about motivating youth, Tim challenged his listeners to THINK: "To Habitually Increase Necessary Knowledge." He talked about "building a personal board of directors". . .2-3 people older than you who have been through what you are going to to through, 2-3 people your own age, peers that can identify with you, and 2-3 people who are younger than you and have "youthful enthusiasm." Tim told us to "write down your goals every year" and talked about he writes out a 3" by 5" card every January with his top goals and he keeps them close so he can measure how he does. He also urged our Ambassadors to designate their time to live a purposeful life. He thoughtfully said, "People that spend the time complaining about how the world treats them haven't spent time thinking about how to treat the world."
As leaders, our ambassadors are encouraged to meet these goals for both themselves and those they will influence in the future. As staff, we are beyond encouraged, for these two hundred enthusiastic bodies are indicating a POWERFUL future!
HOBY Hugs,
