Leadership opportunities


I don't think people are taking advantage of the opportunities for leadership within the team.
Part of joining the I Ho Chuan was to better our leadership skills and you can't do that unless you lead stuff.
Some people have stepped up and I've seen them grow in confidence and they understand things from a new perspective. But so many other people could be taking advantage of this as well instead of sitting on the sidelines and waiting to be told what to do.
We all have busy lives, but when no one steps up, it falls to the same people to get stuff done.

I don't know if there are going to be any more opportunities this year. The tournament is being handled, the adopt a driveway is underway....but we still need to get these renos done.

So....the heart of my rant...when something needs to get done don't wait for someone else to organize it,  you should be jumping at the chance and when someone is trying to get stuff organized, make sure you are supporting their efforts.

 But as I said, I think the list of opportunities is growing short.
Have all of you gotten all your demos in yet? That would be an opportunity right there.


Basic numbers: 202 crunches, 204 pushups, 208 kicks, 5 reps tai chi, 5 reps broadsword, 2.5 miles

Acts of kindness: babysat for someone, played ball with Julia, gave the dog and cat treats, made Mike lunch

Today I consumed: 3 waffles, a peice of candy, some macaroni with beans and tuna, some potato chips (bah! Second day of it!), grilled chicken with salad, 2 cups of coffee, a cup of tea and 7 glasses of water.
