"Heart of the Brave, Pride of the Cave"

I'm now a Caveman--with a capital C.



I know, I know. You're probably thinking, "I thought you already were a caveman;" or, "Does Adam work for Geico now?" Or, "Aren't all New Zealanders cavemen?" Very funny. If you thought any of these things, you would be wrong. In fact, this post really has nothing to do with the fact that my biceps are now bigger than they have ever been (I just needed to add in something that would scare you into not mocking me in the comment section of this post).

Clue one: The title of this post might give some of my Utah friends a little bit of an edge. Anything? Well, I'll just tell you then.

Today, I had an opportunity to head out past Heber City into the lush green mountains of Kamas, Utah. I went out to Kamas with a FranklinCovey colleague and friend, Mr. Barry Rellaford, the Master Facilitator for the Speed of Trust practice. This man is really a legend. He's been facilitating workshops since he was the age of the author. Pretty awesome (yes I just spoke in third person).

Anyway, we went to Kamas to teach the American Fork High School Student Body Officers about trust and leadership. I can honestly say that I had an amazing experience with them. If the future of Utah or America is in the hands of youth like them, then we'll be alright. Seriously. They don't know this, but I now consider myself one of them. I'm a Caveman.


P.S. The "Caveman" is the mascot of American Fork High School.
