Kids With Ideas
What are your thoughts about teens today? Have you seen how they dress? Have you watched them use phones, tv, computers, games and eat all at the same time? Generally the youth of today get a bad rap. Well let me tell you not to lose hope. I had a chance to talk to 4 [...]
Is there a key to success?
Have you ever spent any tie looking at the Berlin School of Leadership site? Bill Roedy did the 5th Anniversary and graduation speech for the Berlin School. AMAZING!
