Getting the Blue Ribbon

Getting the Blue Ribbon is an engaging story of one man s struggle with an all too common challenge--achieving better results in his work and life. John knows he has too much to lose if he doesn t find a way to improve as a manager, spouse, and as a father.

While on a business trip, John stops to visit his sister, Tara, at her apple orchard. Instead of simply getting a breath of fresh air, John begins to discover a powerfully practical way to get the results he has failed to produce in the past.

Future visits reveal to John the need to be more intentional in the choices he makes and to be more proactive about change. He realizes that whether the goal is a successful career, a meaningful life, or even award-winning apples, letting something grow on its own rarely brings the desired result.

Getting the Blue Ribbon is a warm and captivating message for anyone seeking to take their work and life to the next level. It will serve as your step-by-step guide to create and manage an environment ripe for success, so you can experience the thrill and sense of accomplishment that comes with getting award-winning results.
