Molding My Reflection

by John Bagwell on April 30, 2011 · 0 comments

I go through a pretty regular routine each morning. From the moment the alarm goes off, the first hour of my day is pretty set in stone. As a part of that process, I stand in front of a mirror and try to mold the half-asleep apparition in front of me into something more presentable [...]

Teach Them To Tell The Truth

by John Bagwell on April 29, 2011 · 0 comments

One of the things I stress very strongly around my house is the value of telling the truth. As a dad, there is an important reason for this I will get to in a minute, but suffice it to say, in my house telling the truth is far better than telling a lie. I saw [...]

Being A Gentleman

by John Bagwell on April 28, 2011 · 0 comments

Of all the things I think a guy can do to be a great example to his kids, and at the same time show honor for his wife, is being a gentleman. When a guy is a gentleman, he gives honor to his wife, he shows his son how to treat a lady, and he [...]

Honor Your Wife

by John Bagwell on April 27, 2011 · 0 comments

I rarely get embarrassed by what other people do. I’m pretty good enough at embarrassing myself, so I tend to worry more about what I do and say than anything anyone else will ever do or say. However, I have met some guys, and maybe you have to, that make me cringe with embarrassment when [...]

Why Dads Matter

I want to begin with a nod to all the single moms out there who do their very best. This article is in no way intended, or to be taken, as an insult to their courage and strength. My own mother was forced to raise three boys and a girl from a very hard point [...]

Beware the Whispers of Pride

by John Bagwell on April 25, 2011 · 0 comments

When you think of someone who is very prideful, what picture enters your mind? For me, it is someone who stands very plainly and boldly in rebellion against established authority. I imagine a young man who refuses to obey his parents, screams and yells at his mother, and shirks any authority in his life. I [...]

Feeling Lucky

by John Bagwell on April 23, 2011 · 0 comments

There is an ad that has made the rounds in joke telling, about an advertisement regarding a very particular dog. It goes something like this: “LOST DOG: Crippled front paw, blind in right eye, missing left ear, mange on back and neck, tail broken, recently neutered – still has stitches.

Three Universal Leadership Principles

by John Bagwell on April 22, 2011 · 0 comments

When listening to Retired General Colin Powell speak at a conference last week, he began to talk about his various transitions from military to political, and now civilian life. The realms and circles he has lived in would seem to be so different, yet, he said, there was a very fundamental set of principles he [...]

Two Words of Profound Wisdom

by John Bagwell on April 21, 2011 · 0 comments

If you were a really great leader, and you had to communicate to others in a very short brief sentence everything they would need to know to succeed in life, what would that one single sentence say? Last week I was at a conference where Retired General Colin Powell was speaking. He spoke for about [...]
