The Upgraded Man

Send us a text

Pencil Leadership is based on a parable. There are 5 traits to Pencil Leadership.

1) Be Humble - because you must be held by someone else to leave a positive mark.

2) You will have to be "sharpened." - Painful times, once healed from, can help positive growth

3) You have an eraser - You can always work to fix your mistakes.

4) You will get dinged up over time, scratched and chipped. - Don’t let your outer appearance affect what truly matters; the "lead" (your character, integrity, etc.) inside which leaves the mark.

5) You were created with a purpose - You can always leave a good mark. No matter the surface. Some might make it harder but with a little more effort you can always leave a mark.

So, if you're ready, take out your pencils and let's begin!

Today, we hear from New Zealand Olympic Diver, Lizzie Cui. Lizzie is a 5 time national champion and record holder. She was in the Rio Olympic games for New Zealand which made her the first olympic diver for them since the '92 games. She is currently studying and competing at LSU where she is one of the most decorated divers in LSU history, holding the 3 meter record, 4 time SEC silver medalist, and 7 time NCAA All-American.
