My One Year Anniversery

As of today, I have been blogging for 1 year. Yes, I’m still in diapers…figuratively. It’s been a great experience so far. It takes a small amount of time to post once a week and it validates all of the day dreaming I do. If my wife catches me in a blank stare, I can say that I’m just thinking about my next blog post. Here are some interesting facts about my blog over the past year.

My top 3 most popular posts are:
o Dave's Secrets for Great Team-Based Leadership

Don’t forget you can add your thoughts, ideas and questions in the comments. It’s enjoyable for me to get feedback and other people might benefit from your note on the topic. Cheers!
