Rotary’s Youth Service Month celebrates the incredible impact young people make in our communities—and the role we play in helping them grow into leaders, problem-solvers, and changemakers.

When we invest in young leaders, we’re not just shaping their future—we’re strengthening our communities for generations to come. 💙

Sandy Parker Martinez - Why Smart People Get Stuck

What causes you to get Stuck?  Find out with Sandy’s Two minute-Ten question quiz. Go to frictionprofile.com and click on Discover your Friction Profile.

 

Sandy is an expert in Friction Management (a tribologist) and has a new way to look at friction – when things are harder than they should be, it’s a drag on forward movement.  The real solution is seeing friction clearly. There are three profiles:  Curbs (External Obstacles), Wobbles (Internal Destabilizers), and Grinders (Slow Erosions).  Everyone experiences all three profiles but most people have one pattern that shows up most often.

Peace Quote

There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you.    The criterion is:  Have they brought you inner peace?
