287_ Higher Yearning with Hank Brown
The snow settles on the spindly tree branches on the still University of Boulder campus this February morning, while inside the Wolf Law building, Hank Brown drills the students who have braved the previous night’s storm to attend his legislative law class. And frequently, there’s that Hank Brown moment, the wry grin and smiling eyes that signal the humorous zinger he’s about to deliver. It is the same smile he used with a special Republican joint Senate-House caucus on Capitol Hill earlier that month, when in lobbying for increased money for higher education.

282_ Lloyd Lewan - Leadership Beyond Management
We live in a time of great division. Nations against nations – religions against religions, complicated competition with foreign countries. We have a growing underclass in the world and we really don’t know what to do with it. And there are so many other moral, scientific and economic dilemmas we face. As Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand.”
We must find men and women who can face these challenges with a much wiser set of denominators and understandings. Lloyd Lewan was the keynote speaker at the annual Colorado Ethics in Business Awards (CEBA). He had hundreds of attendees on the edge of their seats as he detailed prescriptions for leadership and ethics.
"The best guarantee for the future of this country of ethics, is to find and develop the finest leaders, for at the heart of any leader is and ethical base. I frankly believe leadership is the DNA of any nation, of any business, of any organization, or any home.”
You can listen to Dr. Lewan's entire address right here - 35 minutes from an exceptional program - Colorado Ethics in Business Awards Keynote Address.

288_ Golden Sauce That's Usable, Powerful & Motivating
“I am really very relentless. I go over it and over it until I find what I want. I really look at every ‘no’ I get as the first step to a ‘yes’, says Lucy Sanders, CEO and CoFounder of the National Center for Women & Information Technology. Lucy works with enterprise size companies as well as new startups and focuses on getting women and girls into Information Technology in its broadest sense at NCWIT.org. Lucy sets high standards for her self first and later sets high standards for others. “And at the same time I have incredibly high forgiveness. So if the bar is high, then there should be a safety net. People should not be made to feel bad if they can’t quite climb over that high bar. It’s just that if you set it really high, there’s always going to be learning,” she points out. Lucy offers more sage advice.

Jim Sears was researching renewable energy on the Internet and happened onto a review of the Aquatic Species Program, a 20-year study of algae as an energy source by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden. The program showed a lot of promise, but ended in 1996 nonetheless. "I said, ‘Wow, that’s amazing," remembered Sears, founder of Solix Biofuels.
