Others Like You Are Here, Too

Dear David

I have spent the last 3 hours perusing ActivatePotential.com. I wanted to write to both compliment you on a job well done and to thank you for your insights. When I was a student at USC’s Marshall School of Business I studied leadership development, and had the great honor of studying with Warren Bennis. From a more macrocosmic perspective, your site, which sparkles with enthusiasm and personality, has reminded me for the first time in several years why I am so impassioned by the subject of leadership and personal development (your enthusiasm is COMPLETELY contagious!). Once upon a time I pursued this passion with a job in Arthur Andersen’s Strategy, Organization and People consulting group . . . but as a result of the firm’s grand demise I have since pursued high “jobs” rather than a passionate career. Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront of my consciousness.

Furthermore, from a more microcosmic perspective, your writings (particularly those on accountability and attitude) have encouraged me to reflect on my most recent career ventures, and why I (unfortunately) moved forward in the apathetic manager role rather than the dynamic, forthcoming leader role. You basically gave be a swift kick in the pants that has motivated me to start moving again.

Your site is athestically gorgeous, and your insights are candid and heart-felt. I can understand why you are so proud of your creation. Keep up the good work.

Mr. C. D.
