Lessons From Sports (part 2)

Aaron Marcelli | March 2, 2010

In my last post I mentioned that the I like watching the Atlanta Hawks but they are not my favorite basketball team.  That honor goes to my childhood hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Last week the “cavs” made a major trade.  As the NBA trade deadline got closer, there was a lot of rumors about [...]

Put Your Dream To The Test (part 5)

Aaron Marcelli | February 11, 2010

I cannot think of a dream a person could possibly have that would not effect or involve others.  Opening a store, improving business, moving to another country, attaining a certain job, even simply wanting to have a family all require others to be on board.  Chapter six of Put Your Dream To The Test discusses [...]

Put Your Dream To The Test (part 3)

Aaron Marcelli | February 3, 2010

What is it you really want to do?  Or better yet, if you knew you could not fail, what would you do?  I heard someone ask that question and then follow it up by saying, “you’re foolish to do anything other than what you just answered.”  My initial reaction to those statements a few years [...]

5 Things To Look For When Hiring A Person

Aaron Marcelli | November 16, 2009

Everywhere I have been, with the exception of Montana, there has been talk about the bad economy.  Jobs are a rare commodity these days.  Still, I look forward to leading a team of employees in the future and even just a few months ago had an online post of a position for a fund raiser.  [...]

I Should Have Spoke Up

Aaron Marcelli | November 13, 2009

I went to a business conference in Atlanta on Wednesday.  Entering the room I grabbed a pastry, scanned the ball room and settled in at a table on the right midway back.  Not long after, a group of women came and sat in my general vicinity.
The training was good and presented in an interactive, conversational [...]

Book Review: The Leader’s Tool Kit

Aaron Marcelli | November 2, 2009

So if you follow the “What I’m Reading” section of this blog, you may have noticed that the cover of Cy Charney’s The Leader’s Tool Kit was posted for quite some time.  I do admit it took me basically the entire summer to work through this book.  Grant it, I have the bad habit of [...]

Leadership Before Lunch

Aaron Marcelli | October 29, 2009

I have been challenging myself lately to really work on developing my leadership abilities and potential.  Mostly, this has consisted of me spending more time reading leadership materials, practicing leadership and being assertive in the acts of my everyday life, and observing good or bad leadership characteristics in others.  Fortunately, for about the past two [...]

Things I Need to Plant

Aaron Marcelli | September 18, 2009

I recently found this entry in my journal dated February of this year.  It is still my prayer today.
I have dreamed of starting a church for years.  Though some of the particulars and the desired location have changed, the overall desire remains.  But is it a calling?
I have spent much time in prayer trying to [...]

The Story……….Continued

Aaron Marcelli | August 26, 2009

A couple months ago I wrote this piece as one of my first blog entries, entitling it “the story”.  I used it as a chance to tell some of the major events that happened in my life to inform and update those who had wondered as to my change of ministry, location, etc.  I notice [...]
