"Survey Says..."

By Scott V. Black

Hello Empower U Leadership Team… It is a great day to be alive!

I trust you are in the battle to continue to live your life with purpose, and passion, commitment and vision. As you read this article consider how you are closer to becoming the leader, the person, who you were meant to be. When I write these articles, they are written in a conversational manner. I write about things I am learning and relearning. I write about my opportunities and struggles that I go through as a leader Under Construction. Knowing that others have similar struggles and can benefit on this journey of becoming the George Bernard Shaws we could have been!

Ready, Go!

I would like to continue the focus that we started in the last newsletter. We were talking about the GO button. I had challenged you to consider this button and to label it. If you were to see a friend, a family member, any human being and you wanted to get their attention you would call out their name. If you didn’t know their name it would be hard to address them, or get their attention. Since we have been considering this GO button, I posed the question “What is this button?” What do we call this thing that makes us do, or not do, most of the things that we do?

For those of you that participated, it was wonderful hearing from you. I appreciate those that took the time to become actively involved in this “one-way” conversation and share their thoughts. I love to hear from our graduates… so, “Thank You!” to those who took 2 minutes out of their busy lives to play along.

I got many different answers and later on in this article I will share with you what I believe is the specific label, or name, for this GO button.

Roebbelen Construction Gets Lean and Mean... With Passion!

Gary Davis, the General Superintendent for Roebbelen Construction company, used his post-Awakening and Adventure renewed passion and focus to create a vision of losing weight and getting healthy.

But in true team-building form, he also challenged the employees of Roebbelen to join him in this quest. And many of them are taking him up on it!

He's taking a very proactive and direct approach with his team. At times he sounds a lot like a coach talking to the squad before the big game. Here's an example of one email he sent participants:

You are in the driver seat. You are in control and will take a new path to keeping yourself young. All the jokes are fun but this is about sharing and support. This is about putting it out there and making a difference in yourself and the people around you.

I feel the commitment from the ones that I sent this to. I don't even hear a BOO from some of you that are on the copy list. Some of you have aches and pains that are past injuries and need to be careful. There are those of you that have the pains of just sitting on your ass and not doing any thing about change.

This starts with the first step. I hear " I hurt my knee". Work on you upper body and calorie intake. "I'm to busy". We're all busy. I am sure that some of your "busies" can be replaced with more productive "busies" to promote health, healing and energy. With your new energy, you will let more "busies" into your life.

I am only writing this email with a serious side because I want you to draw from this and talk to yourself. Get yourself motivated. Use your EmpowerU tools to get yourself going. Share with each other more so we can hold each other accountable and progress towards staying alive longer and at a higher degree of health. It's all good, it's all fun.

Inspiring!

Even better, results are steadily coming in. Emails between participants shared with Empower U include comments like this:

I have been do a routine work out using a cycling coach and a
nutritionist, my weight is still at 194 but my body fat is at 12% if any
one is interested in my program I would be glad to send it to them.

And this:

49 lb gone 2-01-08

Of course not everyone wants to lose weight, some want to increase muscle mass:

Whereas all of you have been talking about losing weight, I am going in the other direction. About a month ago, I switched my old routine up, which was similar to Gary's program, to blast my muscles into something new. My new workout involves heavy weight/low reps. SO.. I checked it out and gained about 5-8lbs. I am sure that isn't all muscle; however, I know it isn't all fat either b/c I have noticed my strength has increased a decent amount.

Wow! Way to go Roebbelen team!

And they aren't stopping there. They are sharing tips and lessons along the way with one another and holding each other accountable. In Gary's own words,

As EmpowerU, it wasn't easy. After going through great intensity and giving it all that you had, the result was phenomenal! Life isn't easy, but you get out of it what you put in. Exercise is not easy either. To get great results, you have to commit and put in the effort. The rewards are tremendous! You took that first step and now are walking tall. Good for you!!!!! Keep moving forward! 

There's a new addition to the Empower U Leadership Team! Evan Thomas Morton, was born last week to happy parents, Tom and Jennifer Morton. Tom is PGA Director of Player Performance for Morton Golf (Haggin Oaks, Bing Maloney & Bartley Cavanaugh) in the Sacramento area.
