Growing An Idea To Help Others

Decades ago in the heart of the Oregon countryside, my family cultivated a sprawling garden each year. My siblings and I were expected to help plant and tend to vegetables that would sustain us through the winter months. For a kid, gardening was hot and dirty work. Immediate gratification was nowhere to be found. As the garden work became onerous, I often chose more appealing distractions. At those moments, my Dad’s stern voice would remind me, “Son! Mind your peas!”

Initially, I found it annoying—why peas? But as I grew up, I understood that it wasn’t just about the plants; it was a lesson in discipline, in staying focused on growing our future even when distractions beckoned. It meant honoring the tasks that collectively shaped our family’s survival.

Years later and far from that Oregon garden, I tend to other kinds of “Peas” … the ones that sustain my family, students, and clients. They require me to stay focused, to honor the choices and tasks that shape my present and future, and which impact others’ futures as well. Whenever distractions arise, I sometimes still hear my father’s stern command: “Mind your peas!”

Now, surrounded by loving family members, I sometimes look back over multiple decades and wonder, “What might I have accomplished had I not been so afraid?” For too long, I wandered away—unfocused, distracted by inner fears. Instead of learning and choosing a rewarding path to Peace, Prosperity, People, and Plans—the “4 Peas”—I wasted precious time.

Effective leadership, I’ve learned, is about choices. It’s not tied to a job title or organizational rank; it’s personal. Inspirational choices shape our paths.

Effective leadership is about making effective choices as an adult. That’s where personal coaching comes in. I want to help you focus on minding your “4 Peas,” drawing from my lifetime of experience and training. I have learned that we must cultivate them mindfully, ensuring our futures flourish.
