from Rich Gamble Associates and Leadership Education Resources in Los Alamos. LER makes available custom leadership curriculum building resources. We recognize the growing need to bring leadership and character skills to the forefront in education throughout America - and to bring education front and center in our national consciousness as our best resource in the face of rapid global change. We will print our thoughts and ideas here and we welcome your thoughts and ideas in exchange.

My blog article "Here In Our Beautiful Valley" was recently republished in its entirety in the Santa Ynez Valley News under the title "A Place Unlike Any Other".

Be sure to check out my latest article "Teaching Character (A Brain based Approach)" in the Winter 2012 Issue of Independent School Magazine.

Rich presented a talk recently to over 100 enthusiastic history buffs in the Carriage House of the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum entitled Salomon Pico: The Inspiration For Zorro? He will present the topic again on February 28 at Casa Dumetz on Bell Street in Los Alamos.

Leadership Thoughts to Ponder

"If carbon dioxide continues to increase, the study group finds no reason to doubt that climate changes will result and no reason to believe that these changes will be negligible."

National Academy of Sciences Ad Hoc Study Group, 1979

"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."

Abraham Lincoln

"Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones."

Winston Churchill

"…Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”

Martin Luther King , Jr.

"If you wanted to create an educational environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom."

John Medina

"I am confident that if we change the way we think about the environment, the value we place on the planet from an economic standpoint and the role that powerful industries play in our political systems, we can make a bold step forward toward a clean-energy future."

Al Gore

"If those of us concerned about climate change turn out to be wrong - but we refocus America anyway...our country will have cleaner air and water, lower energy bills, and healthier people. And what if the climate skeptics...who say climate change is a hoax turn out to be wrong - but we listen and do nothing?"

Thomas Friedman: Hot, Flat, and Crowded.

"Make no mistake: catastrophic climate change represents a threat to human security, global stability, and - yes - even to American national security."

U.S. Senator John Kerry
