So, No Labels is packing it in. What did we learn from this effort? (1) A third party cannot get traction by arguing about the quality of the candidates from the major parties. It takes a vitally important values-laden issue the other parties are ignoring to motivate enough people to abandon their past party loyalties (think slavery and the republican party in 1860). A third party effort needs to be issues and values based, not process-based. (2) These days, parties (or quasi-parties like No Labels) have no control. Everything is candidate-driven. No Labels needed to start with the candidate, and then get on the ballot, rather than the other way around. (3) We have a massive leadership deficit in this country. #politics #leadership #nolabels #Trump #Biden

This February, we're choosing to honor our heroes and ruminate on the lessons they taught us all. At Sky Corral Ranch this Presidents Day, we're feeling inspired by two of the greats, John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush. Two shining examples of what it means to be a fearless leader, they inspired our nation to believe in something greater than themselves, and taught us to be brave in the face of uncertainty. As Americans in today's world, our lives are filled with things we can choose to fear. But, there's always another choice. The choice to band together with our fellow Americans and take on the challenges ahead with courage is ours for the taking. For, truly, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." With all the polarity in our current political landscape, we'd like to be clear. This is NOT about Republicans. This is NOT about Democrats. This post is about leadership. Being an effective leader is NOT about you. It's NOT about asking what your team can do for you, but what you can do for your team. Sound familiar? It's about others. It's about building a united team where every member feels seen, heard, and appreciated. That's what helps them believe in the vision. As a leader, you have the influence to make that happen.  As for JFK and George W, it's hard to boil down their lasting legacies with just one quote from each of these great presidents, but these are the words we'd like to leave you to contemplate today. From our Sky Corral Family to yours, Happy President's Day, America! Scott Kissel

Research confirms that Black Canadians continue to be significantly underrepresented in civic leadership roles, including senior public service, regulatory bodies, and other gateway professions to civic leadership roles, such as law, public policy, and business. Research also confirms that this chronic under-representation of Black people in civic leadership roles has taken a serious toll on the engagement of Black Canadian youth in Canada's civic life. The 1834 Foundation’s programs are designed to help reverse this trend, and to help create a new generation of high-calibre Black civic leaders.

President's Day is more than a mere recognition of historical figures; it is a collective acknowledgment of the transformative power of leadership. It symbolizes the strength of democracy, the resilience of a nation, and the ability of individuals to inspire positive change. As we reflect on the significance of President's Day, let us not only honor the presidents who have guided us through pivotal moments but also recognize our shared responsibility to uphold the values they championed. It is a day to inspire a sense of civic duty, a call to engage in the democratic process, and a reminder that each citizen plays a crucial role in shaping the future.
