10 years of Marriage and Five years of Blogs

August has been a month of milestones at our house. First born off to kindergarten and the celebration of 10 years of marriage.

We decided to celebrate our marital bliss (of course it hasn’t been all roses, but it has been a fun ride so far) with training for a marathon together and a trip to the Dominican Republic. Just us. No kids. Thank goodness for wonderful in-laws and parents.

Most are about sports, including this series on leadership lessons learned from college football:

And the one he wrote:  Talent Management Lessons Learned from T-Ball

Each of these posts tie back to how he teaches me each day that avoiding judgment leads to better leadership:

3 Tips for Checking your Facts: Leaders know things aren’t always what the seem

Leading through Expectations and Empathy

 

What leadership lessons has your spouse taught you?
