Travel Napkin #3 – North Carolina Trip
On the way home from my coaching certification class in North Carolina I came across this woman sitting across from me at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. I complimented her on her boots and she thanked me then said “It wasn’t easy at the security line, but they’re worth it”.
I then imagined that moment when she realized she was going to have to take them off for the scanner and having to do so while standing up and moving down the line at the same time. That was a task I am sure!

Day #3 of my stay in North Carolina. Travel napkin is from the catered lunch we had at Fleet Feet.
We have been discussing how best to coach runners and one of the best quotes is this one. We lead from behind, not pulling them to something they can resist but pushing and encouraging them in the direction they already want to go. We don’t push in a controlling way, but in a collaborative way, with their assent.
How do you lead? Is it effective?

I am currently in North Carolina for a run coaching
certification class. Time to do some travel napkins. I picked this
napkin up at Dickey’s BBQ, even though I didn’t eat there. I brought a
sandwich from home. It was much better.
This woman was deeply engrossed in a movie on her
laptop. I saw her trying REALLY hard to open her Aquafina but just
couldn’t do it. She tried her fingernail on it twice, and still it
wouldn’t budge. I went over to her and opened it (not without
difficulty myself). Then I asked her if I could draw her. The woman
next to me thought I was one of those arty people she said. The woman
I drew promised she would come to the blog online and see the drawing.
Let’s hope she does.
