This week on Leading Edge WTOL 11 Lance Woodworth - President and CEO | Destination Toledo What's Toledo's brand?  What do you sell to people, to businesses, or to conventions - what is the pitch these days? Is the product better than ever? Following a night where Toledo’s Mayor talked about fair and unfair perceptions about Toledo - how does that translate into proactivity or apathy? Toledo’s always wanted to be more - and there are those who are trying to make it happen - but it seems like there are those who want to keep it right where it is or where it’s been.  Is perception reality?    Tom Cole - Taylor Automotive Family Community Outreach Terry Crosby - Taylor Automotive Family Community Outreach This night will be about philanthropy – and the good work that they’re doing as community ambassadors for the Taylor Automotive Family. We hear all the time about the need for local organizations - that have the ability – to pick up the ball and get it across the goal line – and you guys are truly doing that. What one story has touched them – where they have really understood that the work they’re doing IN the community and WITH the community is making a difference. There have been so many organizations that needed help to make their charity, and their love for others go – HOW does this team show them their worth?

Thanks for representing Dons Local Action Group in such style.

We completed the list!! 🎉🎉 While we haven’t finished contacting all the businesses, I worked with Green Team and with Fernando Rodriguez to accumulate local businesses! Our newest Green Team member, Jonah, along with our second newest, Victoria, learned professionalism over a phone call! They got the hang of it super quickly and I am very proud of them. They both took the task off my hands and showed great initiative, allowing me to fulfill other tasks. Our other Green Team members, Logan and Tyler, also did amazing! They completed the whole table. While Victoria and Jonah were contacting businesses, Tyler and Logan researched businesses, jotted down websites and phone numbers, and helped to better organize the list!! While I thought this was a task I could handle on my own, I realized today that I was very wrong. I don’t usually procrastinate, however between school and work, I usually don’t have a lot of time so I tend to choose one or the other when home so when I had the opportunity to show the others this kind of work, I jumped right at the idea!! We ended up getting so much more done than I thought we would, which was my first mistake. Believing in your team makes the all the difference, especially when tasks can be properly delegated. Everyone learned something new today, including me, and including Fernando Rodriguez, who learned how to use a laminator! Overall, I feel pretty good about today. It was a very productive and accomplished experience!!

Let's help these future business leaders!

#FromTheArchives: Did you know that Grandview Kids has had a mascot since the 1960s? Though not as commonly seen today, with the exception of our logo, the character was used quite regularly for various community events and fundraisers in the 1960s-1980s. Can you guess what the name of the Grandview Kids Mascot is? Be sure to leave your guesses in the comments below! We will reveal the correct answer in the next week!

I promise I'll post about my actual job (we have a new video to share about Mainframe mod and GenAI!) but as summer winds to a close I wanted to share a charity opportunity related to Golf: https://lnkd.in/g2i6mqfG Ultimately this is about helping kids lead healthier lives and is related to the amazing work that Jack and Barbara Nicklaus have done across the world to help kids heal and thrive with their Play Yellow initiative. My Wife Ashley and her colleague Kelli are going to play 72 holes of golf in one day and they are going to make it rain birdies. If you have a bit of a gambling mindset, you can make a donation based on the number of birdies they're going to make. You can also make an up-front donation. Note that this is focused on Colorado - ask your local pro if something is happening near you! Why is this on LinkedIn? Two reasons - first - this is really the only social media I do. I do so little I don't know if this actually counts as social media. Second - having married a professional golfer I've learned a lot about golf that has surprised me. Watching Ashley and her friends and colleagues navigate a male-dominated world (5% of PGA professionals are women. 5%!) is in many ways a clearer lens to the same challenges we see in technology. The backlash we've seen in some pockets of the world against fostering inclusion - one person's opinion here - ignores the reality that a diversity of thought and opinion makes teams better. Here's a golf example - when you're taking a golf lesson, you are incredibly vulnerable and it can be intimidating - no single approach works for everyone. Finding a coach that resonates with you (and this can be especially hard for women coming to the game, or children wanting to learn) is critical to your experience. There is not a long line to draw between this phenomenon and what we see in technology as leaders, mentors and peers. Also, golf is fundamentally a game of integrity - I've seen remarkable examples of leadership and integrity on the course (look up "Sahith Theegala penalty" for an unbelievable example recently) and again it reminds me of all the things we try to do as leaders and professionals in business. I've always liked the phrase "integrity is what happens when no one is looking" and if golf can help me and others to model that, there's more to the game than I thought. Let me close by saying - for those in the Northern Hemisphere - enjoy the last gasps of summer, whatever brings you outside to do so!
