Have a great Red, White and Blue Fourth of July!
Thoughts for the month:
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing; that’s why we recommend it daily – Zig Ziglar
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure – Norman Vincent Peale
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals – Winston Churchill
A good athlete can enter a state of body-awareness in which the right stroke or right movement happens by itself, effortlessly, without any interference of the conscious will. This is a paradigm for non-action: the purest and most effective form of action. The game plays the game; the poem writes the poem; we can’t tell the dancer from the dance.
Less and less do you need to force things,
Until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
Nothing is left undone.
Tao Te Ching, Stephen Mitchell translation
“Just because a group of people has a bunch of boards, hammers, and nails does not mean they are building a house or even anything recognizable. Some leaders think they are doing their job because there is a lot of hammering going on.” –Laurie Beth Jones

******************************
An effective community is one that works together to solve problems and improve the area’s quality of life. To build an effective community, one must first build effective leaders armed with proper tools and a general understanding of the overall community.
With this in mind the Quad City Chamber of Commerce Federation came together to develop a new Quad City Leadership Academy.
The new Quad City Leadership Academy was introduced by the Quad City Chamber Federation in the fall of 2006. The Academy is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to successfully lead their company and community. The program also inspires and offers participants opportunities to experience our community and allows participants to learn from each other as well as established leaders.
The Quad City Chamber Federation, a non-profit organization comprised of the Bettendorf Chamber of Commerce, DavenportOne, and the Illinois Quad City Chamber of Commerce, was created to address common business issues and heighten the image of the Quad Cities. The Quad City Chamber Federation serves as a vehicle for launching collaborative events, projects, and initiatives among the areas Chambers of Commerce. One of these initiatives includes leadership development and the collaboration of the existing leadership programs into one academy for the region.
