Orrin Woodward Leadership Team

Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

Bay St. Lucie Fishing - Florida

by Orrin Woodward on Wed 28 Nov 2007 11:16 AM EST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Calling all leaders. I would like to take ya'll out fishing and catch a jack crevalle (Small, Large, or Biggie Size) or any other of the numerous types of fish just waiting for us! Hey, I don't write on this blog and mentor people all the time! Laurie and I enjoy having leaders come down to spend a couple of days at the property. When are you coming to Florida??

God Bless, Orrin Woodward

Legal Disclaimer: All fish were caught and released. No one can guarantee you will catch as big a fish. We hope, however; that the techniques and approaches the author teaches you will assist you in catching your own very large jack crevalle. :)

I absoultely love this fishing photo Orrin it is truly priceless!

It's great to remember what we are working towards!
Having a visual creates an impact and is a perfect motivator! :oD

(I have a photo of a home that I love located in British Columbia,Canada I see it everyday on my computer desktop.)

I am looking forward to the day when I can fish for some grouper down in Florida- I would be so honored to go out fishing with you and Laurie, that would be a dream come true!

Right now my husband Nathan and I have been swept up by a great inferno of passion! Team has been in our hearts since we started, yet time and perspective have only enhanced our convictions! We love what we are apart of!

Our personal reasons "why" are our one-and-a-half year old twin boys, Jack and George- We are constructively striving toward creating a great future for them..
But our main reason "why" is having the ability to let people know that they don't have to give up on their dreams and aspirations...
We LOVE being "dealers in hope" and fighting for a greater cause!

Recently we've had the blessing of seeing the "light" return in our new teammates eyes... What a magical experience to be apart of... It is so invigorating to see others catch the excitement that we have. It makes us feel like we're doing our part in going to a million, and in making the world a better place...

We are so full of gratitude everyday for the glorious Team leadership development system, people we have the opportunty to work with, and our outstanding mentiors Kyle and Kylee. These wonderful aspects of our lives are enriching us on new levels all the time. If there is another word that is more heartfelt than "grateful" that is what we truly feel about Team!

Thank you Orrin and Laurie for setting the great example for us to follow!
Have a great today!

Sincerely,
Jess

We REALLY don't like you much today, Orrin. :) It's snowin', blowin', and COLD here in Gaylord. Great looking fish, though...I guess we'll have to come see for ourselves someday!

I am paying the price and and sacrificing my time fishing just to motivate everyone. :) A leader has to be willing to do whatever it takes and if fishing is part of the job that is why I love what I do! thanks, Orrin

Orrin, My 6 year old boy just saw the picture of you with the big fish - So now we have to become Round Table members because he wants you to show him how to catch one! Thanks for all you do. You are in our prayers.

Awesome catch ! Congrats. Just added a fishing trip to my 100 reasons why. Already have the winter home down south on the list. If you get a chance check out this clip by Michael Israel; http://www.youtube.com/v/QZFkZiwMLZ4. Very Patriotic & I saw an example of results based on vision & beginning with the end in mind.

Fair Winds & Following Seas !

Orrin & Laurie: Wow - you guys know how to up the ante for motivation, don't you? That looks like a blast! Round Table - I like the sounds of that. Makes it easy to decide what our 2008 Resolution will be - GO ROUND TABLE and GO FISHING in FLORIDA with the Woodwards! My husband, Richard, will be truly torn now- which goal will be more enticing: getting counseled by Orrin in the infamous leather chairs in Orrin's office, or going RT AND going fishing with you in Florida! Fantastic! He gave up his annual fishing trip to Au Gres MI this year (Walleye) until we went Power Player - so he's really been missing his fishing! I'll be sure to point out the photos you posted so he can have some additional motivation! That's the Spirit Woodwards - give us leadership posts to help us stay focused and to stretch our capacity, then give us a prize to run after to spice it up a little bit! Frosty cold here in Cadillac but Bay St. Lucie sure looks good! AWESOME!!

Orrin,

One of the goals that I set for myself and my sons a couple months ago after listening to the Tim Marks fishing story was to do just what you offered, get this thing done to the point that we could go fishing with you, Chris and Tim. My sons and I go to Marco Island several times a year because we are "hooked" on salt water fishing --- When we do get to fish with you I would love to hear my youngest son tell you the story about the cobia that he hooked, lets just say he hooked the fish and I had to "hook" his belt to keep him in the boat. Looking forward to more leadership skills and many days of great fishing.
God bless and take care,
Glenn

Glenn, I can't wait to hear the story. I have not caught a Cobia yet, but I am sure I will eventually! Keep growing. thanks, Orrin

Can hardly wait. I'm looking forward to catching some wall hangers.

Nick, It takes us 10 minutes to get all the bait fish right at our dock and another 10 minutes to get to our spot. Then we hang out, talk, learn and wait for the big one! Proud of you. thanks, Orrin

Hello Orrin,
I was just telling my husband after watching our newest dvd that my dream is to come see you & Laurie on your property. I didn't know how but it is on my dream board. Thanks for clearing up how to get there. :>) The fish look great! My husband would love it!
Thanks for all that you & Laurie (other leaders) have done for our future. I will be forever greatful!
We love you,
Sonja

Nice catch Orrin. Don't worry i don't like touching fish because of their slimy-ness either =)
By the way great seminar last night you and Lorrie did a great job.
