Keep Walking in Your Purpose

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

There is beauty and power in the simplicity of this message. I am at that crossroad, I no longer want to linger too long in a place we're I'm only standing still. I have lived my dream, no I am seeking my desire. Thank you for your words of Confirmation. They were greatly needed.

I feel like I've taken this class for two semesters because I've helped multiple students with diving into the reading material for this course...and I love the topics covered!!
