The words 'Growth' and 'Forward' have a few commonalities: Both are seven characters in length, have a 'W' at the center and inspire the concept of 'motion'.
The concept of people moving, either forward or backward, (never in neutral) is the focus of this blog and will contain numerous stories, facts, opinions and potential rants.
Growing-Forward is really all about the concept of change. Whether we know it or not, like it or not, we are changing and because we change, everything around us changes. We change businesses (which are run by people), economies (people run/live-in/control them), religions (also run by people), relationships (which of course require… **hint - the word starts with 'p' and ends with 'pl'** etc…
What would happen if we grabbed hold of change and owned it as opposed to what virtually everyone around us is doing and letting change own and HAPPEN to us?

I hope you'll join me working toward a better understanding of growth and how to lead it, own it, and graciously move with it!
