I was invited to speak to close to 300 teen leaders from schools across south Louisiana for their workshop : CAUTION–LEADERSHIP CROSSING. Michelle C. and her team of student council leaders did a great job of decorating the gym in the highway sign spirit.

I’ve been blessed in my life to hold leadership positions and to watch young people assume leadership. I still get a big kick out of doing trainings for young leaders…I’ll be doing some this summer at the University of Notre Dame, the diocese of Lafayette, and my local church, the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

If any of you are interested in learning more about any of these experiences, e-mail me at
