When I started my fellowship at the Wisconsin PGA, I did not realize how much of a rewarding experience it would be. I have had the opportunity to be fully immersed in a Section's Operations and have learned so much from this experience. As a fellow, I have had the pleasure of writing an article for pga.com! Check out the latest feature and my published work, "' There is a Space For Us in This Industry': A First-Person Perspective on the Power of PGA WORKS"!

Excellent tips from ELI teammate Matt Curley.

Today is Maurice Greene’s 50th birthday, born July 23, 1974. Maurice Greene is a former American track and field sprinter who specialized in the 100 meters and 200 meters. He is a former 100 meter world record holder with a time of 9.79 seconds. During the height of his career he won four Olympic medals and was a five-time World Champion. Here's Maurice’s quote that begs the question about teachers, schools, corporate trainers and training program instructors on how much time this year they will be spending on teaching their students and colleagues about having faith in themselves. “You have got to believe in yourself every time you go out there and race. If you have no faith in your ability, all that training has been a waste of time." From Diane Haskins… When we focus on helping other people, our potential shows. Make an intention each morning to show kindness and help someone become better. This not only helps the other person, but it helps your personal development as well. Make it the real heart’s desire to help other people and you’ll be successful in business and life. To give of ourselves is a good thing. We cannot put a price on making a positive impact on somebody. There’s no time like the present to focus our time and efforts on helping others.

I got my arse kicked yesterday at the Pen tir Drop fell race in Wales. "Follow the path up to the summit but come down whatever way you wish" the race organiser told everyone. I couldn't see any other way down, so I thought it was a trick question. The locals knew better, including the lady behind me in green in this photo, who I beat to the top but then she darted off towards what looked like a toilet stop on the way down but was in fact a short cut of half a km through what looked to me to be dense bushes and forest, but the locals knew as a shorter and faster route down. The question is, how many people do you have in your team's at work, those who have more experience or learnt to work smarter not harder, but don't share their secrets with others? I don't blame them for this, targets drive behaviours whether it's work or play, and having these secrets makes a difference, but imagine how well the team would perform if you could get those secrets out in the open - and how can you encourage those who know these things to share? Individual targets certainly won't do it🤔 #continuouslearning
