Aspire Professional Development

This last Saturday, Aspire Professional Development competed in Lubbock’s very first Hub City Bed Run benefitting an organization near and dear to my heart - Lubbock Open Door. Their missions is “to cultivate community, opportunity, and restoration for individuals facing poverty, homelessness, and s*x trafficking.”

And while didn’t win the race (I am DEFINITELY not a runner 🫣🤭), we had the very best time engaging with the Open Door community. It was a fantastic event and so well executed! Thank you Rynn Z. Day, and the Open Door staff for hosting! I can’t wait to do it again next year!!

Sometimes the best connections happen in the most unexpected places.

I met Penny at my mother-in-law’s new assisted living facility… and within minutes, we realized we spoke the same language… leadership.

She texted me that she found me online and had already ordered my book, Stick Figure Leadership. Penny is a leader who genuinely cares about growing herself and others, and those are my favorite kinds of conversations.

It was a sweet reminder that leadership isn’t confined to titles or offices… it shows up anywhere people choose to grow.
