Keep Walking in Your Purpose

This morning, I casually looked at my courseload for the fall, and realized that my class is oversubscribed by 35 students.
Key Takeaway: Keep Walking in Your Purpose. Three years ago, I had just been fired by the Cleveland Browns as an assistant coach. I spent four days with the Houston Texans as a scout before quitting my job.
Why?
I knew the position wasn't fulfilling my purpose, and the longer I stayed in the building, the harder it would be for me to relinquish the NFL brand. More importantly, I knew that my purpose was wrapped up in helping people identify, craft and execute a strategy for success.
Now, I get a chance to influence 125 students per semester through my class - Gameplan for Winning at Life - at The University of Texas.
If you ever visit Austin on a Tuesday or Thursday this fall (9:30 to 11:00 AM), then feel free to stop by. Shoot a message to me in advance, and I will share my syllabus with you. We explore:
- vulnerability
- empathy
- race relations
- effective communication
- risk strategy
- failure management
- leadership strategy
- financial literacy
