Oprah's Beau
Last week as we took our son to Westmont College in Montecito (Santa Barbara), CA, we were having lunch at a local restaurant. Nancy (my wife) leaned over and whispered, "That's Stedman," referring to Stedman Graham, a motivational speaker/author and best known as Oprah Winfrey's significant other for nearly 30 years. Stedman was kind enough to interrupt his fruit drink and newspaper for a quick pic. I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where we could see the leaders in kids, preteens, and teens. Imagine being in a café with a family or a school playground and whisper, "That one's a leader." Our ability to notice what others don't is key to drafting young leaders into formal training. Someone once said, "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed." At KidLead, we can see the leader in certain kids and youth, long before they'll ever be CEOs or presidents.
