You can lead a horse to water ... but that does not make the horse thirsty. It is up to each of us to quench our own thirst for knowledge. "Lead a Horse to Water" is a podcast on mentorship. Each podcast will feature someone working to make a difference with a desire to network. Listen in to people sharing the best advice they have received and given. We may not be able to make everyone "drink up some knowledge" but we can entertain you and maybe even make you a bit thirsty.

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 22 - Nate Fish

    This week I had the opportunity to connect with a leader in the Arts … a leader in baseball … an innovator … in a word, multitalented. Rather than a lengthy introduction, just ‘Google’ the name, Nate Fish (this week’s guest). And if you are not in the mood to search on your own, here is a head start: www.kingofjewishbaseball.com.  The conversation runs the gamut of topics and I am thrilled to add a howardism from our discussion. “The person in front of me is my mentor.”  On a side note, I don’t promote any item I cannot fully endorse. Nate Fish and his team have developed an application I feel is a great fit for a lot of folks. Many of us are parents (that includes fur-babies) and are looking for a safe and secure way to pass on the legacy of pictures and stories. The FootPrint Family app is exactly that, a digital safe for your pictures, ideas, and more. The Footprint Family App is available on Google Play and The App Store. You can also head over to www.FootprintFamily.app. But for right now – take a moment to learn with Nate Fish.

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 21 - Becky Arkfeld

    This week “Lead a Horse to Water” welcomes a local leader who I would call young. And as young as she is, I have known her for nearly 25 years. And now she is on the podcast ready to help me learn and boy oh boy did she bring “A” game. My new favorite "howardism" should actually be called a “beckyism" as today’s guest, Becky Arkfeld,shared, “The world was spinning faster than before.” I asked if she would share a few of the websites for organizations she referred to in the podcast. She shared: * www.Fit4Mom.com (this site gives location info for all over the US) * www.Whiarizona.org (Women’s Health Innovations is where I work) * www.Postpartum.net (Postpartum Support International, which is a great resource for postpartum moms and families)  Use them, share them and thank you Becky for increasing our awareness of these fine organizations.

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 20 - Spiral Day #3

    On this episode of "Lead a Horse to Water" we spend some time reviewing our previous six guests and connect what they shared. We like to call it "Spiral Day" when we spiral our learning. This means we review what we have learned in order to deepen our learning. And when you get to the end of the podcast, stick around because the bonus this week is a performance by Driftwood Quintet. They are performing, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". (www.driftwoodquintet.com)

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 19 - Eric Beil

    Smart people make for great guests. This week's guest certainly fills that requirement. An earlier guest on our podcast, Lisa Barnett, spoke about our soul’s journey. This week's guest’s soul has clearly been on a journey with my soul through space and time. And in our present soul’s journey this week’s guest, Eric Beil, is my nephew. I hope this connection is as evident to our listeners as it is to Eric and I. This is the first show to produce two Howardisms. (And, by the way, the french fries were outstanding! Russet potatoes, air fryer, delicious!)

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 18 - Sentari Minor

    I have been looking forward to this guest on the show since its inception. Sentari Minor has been a friend and colleague for more than ten years (I want to say nearly 15 years). And the show delivers … I loved so much of this show that I suggest a drinking game for the number of times I say, “I love that!”. My Howardism for the show … “Mentorship is a relationship. Leadership is a relationship. Life is a relationship.” Once you listen, here are some links to learn more about this week’s guest: Guest Speaker Sentari Minor - CISA Convocation 2020 - YouTube Sentari Minor | Social Impact Advocate in Phoenix, Arizona (sentarimminor.com)

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 17 - Deron Shields

    What happens when you put two graduates from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (1983 and 1984) in the room together? You end up laughing, having a great discussion, and even learning a little something. This week Deron Shields leads the conversation, teaches us how to “walk with your eyes” – and reminds us of the importance of coaching sports. Deron is a member of the Sea Cloud Sports Wall of Fame - Sports Wall of Fame | Foster City California. I put this in the liner notes to inspire you to look in your community at your “Sports Walls of Fame” These are the men and women who volunteer (or are paid very little) to coach young people. They may be coaching soccer, volleyball, baseball, etc,… but what they are really doing is teaching team, mentoring young people on how to win and lose graciously, along with the value of hard work. That’s just a few of the mentoring done by our sports coaches. Thanks Deron!

    Lead a Horse to Water - Episode 16 - Laurie Doering

    This week I got to reconnect with one of Arizona’s strong leaders, Laurie Doering. Laurie brought great energy and great wisdom. One of my favorite moments was when she was speaking about the questions she reflects on regarding candidates when hiring. She asks: 1) Are you a positive person? 2) Are you a team player? 3) Are you coachable? What questions help you reflect on candidates? I also want to share a few links we referenced regarding humble leadership. Leading with Less Ego (hbr.org) Ego Is the Enemy of Good Leadership (hbr.org) Enjoy the show!

    Episode 15 of our Podcast brings us ideas and thoughts from Ron (Ronnie) Mabry. Each episode brings a different vibe and a few points always stick out. One point that stands out in today's podcast is Rotary International's "The Four Way Test (of the things we think, say or do)": I. Is it the truth? II. Is it fair to all concerned? III. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? IV. Will it be beneficial to all concerned? How could you apply these concepts today? Listen to Ron (Ronnie) Mabry give us some ideas on how he incorporates the wisdom he has learned.
