Marvin was bad-ass. Marvin was my volleyball buddy years ago. Marvin never let a ball drop. Marvin dared the other team to serve their hardest serve. Marvin gave them the “try-again” look when an amazing dig happened on a hit that was supposed to lead to a point. Marvin was the perfect player, a coach’s dream. Marvin knew how to get the job done – and did it well.
Marvin was my alter ego when I played volleyball 12 months out of the year up through college & I passed his wisdom onto the girls that I coached after college, then…no more Marvin.
What does Marvin say/do now?….a *few* years later….
Marvin’s ego is a bit more in check now. 🙂 Marvin’s still a buddy, but knows that there is a need to open up & embrace truth, reality, perception, transparency & messaging that happens w/in the depths of a company. Yes, there are rules, guidelines, policies…but this is the time, this is the place for everyone’s inner Marvin to come out. Look out friends, my Marvin is back.
Here is a great quote that just screams for a place here:
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
