Posted By Team Leader - Andy Elliott
I am in Colorado right taking a KW Course on coaching and they held a surprise event last night that taught us how to break boards.  I just woke up this morning and I am a little choked up about the things that I learned in this class, so now I'm sharing it with you (so long as a few tears don't short out my keyboard). 
 I learned that the big things in life take 100% Full On Commitment.  This means deciding that "If I Can't, I Will.".  Does 100% Full on Commitment, really … (5 comments)
