Today is Groundhog Day and that means many are anxiously waiting to see if the groundhog will see his shadow and thus sentence us to another six weeks of Winter. In researching where the Groundhog Day celebration came from I stumbled upon a clever piece from GKLife with some history. It turns out that it originates from folks looking for something...anything...to celebrate in the dead of Winter.
Have you ever thought about how much power the groundhog has in his shadow? Whether fact or fiction, it is something to think about. This is a great lesson for us all to ponder on a personal level. What do others see in our shadow? Are we leading them to greatness or mediocrity? Are we leaving behind a shadow that is powerful, shows ambition, and organized brilliance?
What about your organization? Your school? Do your practices leave you in the shadows of other's greatness? Businesses that carefully plan, look at market trends, and have a committed workforce generally leave the shadows that others find themselves in.
eLearningToolBox is making some changes in 2010. After a strategic planning session, we found ourselves wanting to create a stronger shadow that others can see and imitate. We are in the process of changing the company name and product line. Details will be coming soon so pay careful attention and don't forget to follow our fan page on facebook for up to the minute updates!
