Connor McMahon: APIVEO Player of the Month, March 2014

Congratulations Connor and thank you for Always Playing IV Each Other!

Excerpt from the APIVEO Player of the Month award ceremony;

The purpose of my life and the purpose of your life is simple; it’s to add value to those around us…to Always Play IV Each Other. When you hold up IV fingers you are saying that “YOU Always Play IV Each Other.” How we do this is unique to each one of us. It is as unique as our own fingerprints. To Always Play IV Each Other is to leverage our talents, gifts and passions to help others.

Now for the reason we are here today. On the ice Connor pours himself into the space between the pipes and gives every ounce of himself to his team. I understand he has some pretty impressive stats and a couple of awards and trophies to go along with them. Connor is a great athlete but that’s not why we are here today. We are here today because Connor McMahon is a great leader. Conner McMahon is the APIVEO Player of the Month because he Always Plays IV Each Other.

As early as pre-school kids know there’s something special about being “the line leader.” It’s exciting to have the class follow them. However, it’s not the number of people following that makes one a leader; it’s the actions that result from the choices made. If a child makes a decision and acts on it, he/she has led themselves even if no follows. Therefore, every child on your team is a leader that influences his/her own behavior as well as those around them. In subsequent lessons, we will discuss how to lead but at this point we simply want them to believe that they are leaders. [Read more…] about APIVEO™ LESSON THREE
