A short talk on the dark side, and benefits of staying on the lighted path. 

Fitness is an interesting word with a lot of meanings...I try to define some of them here.  

Some thoughts surrounding parenting that I wrote down...and then spoke into a microphone.  Hope you enjoy...and hope you realize that this is just one man's thoughts, understanding that you may have your own way...a better way.  All the best. 

Amanda leads a unique group of auto dealerships in the Concord area.  She is a 4th generation operator of the family business that is the Grappone Automotive Group.   On top of running a substantial and practical car company, she's also helped to instill a desirable culture in the workplace...putting her 'team' first, and identifying the experience that customers want...then providing them a valuable product and service accordingly.     I'll certainly be using some of her leadership qualities to help shape my approach to coaching.  Thank you Amanda!     Check out what she's doing at the Grappone website here:  https://www.grappone.com/ Watch our video of this talk here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wg_F_hHVV0&list=PL5vydBYMlrQi3HTfHxJ-Gh3DOEgWukSoW&index=21&t=1s
