Journal of today’s activities:
This morning I woke early, eager to make a second contribution to the city of San Jose’s Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force. Earlier this week I prepared 55 graphical slides to guide me through a PowerPoint presentation. The images may help the audience follow along, and they certainly assist me in staying on point throughout the presentation. I left my house early enough to beat traffic and I arrived at a San Jose Starbuck’s around 6:30 in the morning. I relied upon the Internet access to complete some email work until 7:15. Then I drove to the community center where I was scheduled to lead the seminar and began preparing for the 45 people I expected to attend. In today’s session I spoke about the importance of identifying value categories to guide our decisions. Each time I have an opportunity to share lessons I learned with community leaders I feel grateful. The courageous people who participate on the gang prevention task force really inspire me to work harder.
