No Moore Tornadoes

See what I did there with the title? Pretty clever…

Three days ago a terrible tornado touched down in the town of Moore, OK. It left a 17 mile scare right through the middle of the city taking out 2 schools, a hospital and many houses.

Moore is about 5 hours from where I live. I heard about Eurasia Cafe planning to head down to serve coffee to the first responders, and instantly got on board. It was an amazing opportunity, and I am so honored to be able to be a small part of helping those effected by this terrible disaster. I want to share with you a little about what we did, but more importantly share about the amazing people of Moore, OK and the surrounding areas.

We arrived at 7pm and were told that a Life Church campus in south Oklahoma City was being used as a distribution center. It was our first stop and I was amazed by the amount of food, water and clothes that had already been given. We served coffee at Life Church and prepared a couple of pots in case we were unable to find power once we made our way closer to where the tornado touched down.

Leaders Deal in 7 Things

1. Hope

Your team needs to have hope that they are headed somewhere and doing something worth their time if you want to get the best out of them.

“A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.” Daisaku Ikeda

2. Inspiration

If you can’t cause people to move then you aren’t leading anything. Have a story to tell, and tell it well and consistently.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
