To lead is to act in such a way that motivates others to perform above and beyond their normal will. You will be successful when you lead. 'Todd Maki and Associates' can gaurentee it.

Students are LEADING

Since leaving FSU in August, I have had the distinct opportunity to work on a political campaign. Being there has given me the opportunity to speak with thousands of students as I travel from school to school and from college to university around South Florida.

Seeing students work hard and strive for the best has been rewarding. With all of the activities available to students on campus and off, the fact that they are doing all that they can to work towards the good of the organization shows me that they truly are leaders.

Being in the State Capital, Tallahassee (FL), for 2 years has shown me firsthand how much of an impact students can have in leadership roles. My call to students to continue being active leaders is because I know that this is our world. It will be in our hands one day as we grow up to the everyday realities that surround us. The preparation we make now for a better tomorrow will benefit the entirety of society and enhance our well-being and the well being of generations we prepare to lead.

Students must LEAD

With a generation of Students leaving High School next summer and another one leaving College, there is a need for them to stand up to the challenges that face our nation, our community, and our home. For the billions of people that waver from one day to the next with no direction in their life, we cannot let today's students become derelict.

I am calling on every professor, teaching instructor, and mentor to instill within the students of our world the skills necessary to lead each other to greatness. A greatness that has no borders, a greatness that has no end, and a greatness that has everything to change the world so we can live life together to the fullest with endless success.

This call to arms is not just for our professionals but also our parents. Please go above and beyond to be that compassionate somebody your kids can look up to. Love crosses all lines and heals all ills. As longs as we lead with love, we lead toward hope for a better tomorrow.

Please contact me at Mr.Maki@yahoo.com if you would like me to speak to your class, church, synagogue, or business. My desire is to see a better day tomorrow and not just see that day but help make that day and I can only do so with your help.

Thank you for your participation.
