Hi Jim! Thank you for your great talk on “what weightlifting taught me about leadership”. I’m going to be moving into a new leadership project / completely greenfield, so the thoughts such as make complex thing simple and how do you win when things fail were useful takeaways for me. I enjoyed the way you told the stories and kept your slides simple.

I’ll get a copy of your book! Do you have a website, blog or other work that I can take a look at? Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, @melissafisher !

I have a blog at FrazzledDad.com, but I’ve not posted much there in some time–however, some of the older posts may be interesting for you. I sporadically post on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-holmes/).

Good luck to you on moving into your new role! We need more good, thoughtful, caring leaders!
