Modernization, Leadership & Adversity – Go Birds! | Day 8
Today’s message comes from a slightly different scene — in the middle of setting up a new standup desk, getting ready for Monday Night Football, surrounded by reminders of the sports teams and players who shaped my life.
Because Day 8 of the Give the Gift of MORE campaign is about something simple and universal:
Adversity makes us who we are.
From Liverpool’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” to Jürgen Klopp’s leadership philosophy, to ten years of coaching youth soccer, to watching my own son recover from a torn ACL, I’ve learned that the best lessons in leadership rarely come from textbooks — they come from struggle, resilience, and the people who walk beside us during both.
Sports teach us this.
Life teaches us this.
The MORE Effect teaches us this.
Today I reflect on:
- Why adversity reveals our character and shapes our identity
- The powerful leadership examples found in Klopp, Ted Lasso, and Nick Sirianni
- What coaching youth sports taught me about Gen Z and Gen Alpha communication
- How modernization is reshaping the workplace faster than most people realize
- Why future-focused systems design is essential for the AI age
- The massive untapped value of workers aged 55–70 moving into consulting, mentoring, and contribution-based roles
- Why human-centric leadership matters now more than ever
- And how The MORE Effect becomes a field guide for navigating all of it
Modernization isn’t just about technology.
It’s about mindset — the courage to evolve, the optimism to imagine what’s possible, and the presence to stay grounded during the storms.
Every week, every game, every challenge, every life event asks us the same question:
Will you become more because of this, or in spite of it?
The MORE Effect is designed to help you choose because of it every time.
You get one life.
How you spend your time is all you have.
