The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Let me introduce you to me, Chuck Locklear. I have three decades of leadership experience. After 22 years of experience, I retired from my role as a high school principal and instructional leader. I also spent 14 as a training and marketing consultant for “Fortune 500” companies .

A sought-after speaker and teacher, I enjoys sharing the educational and managerial programs that I have developed. These include: Creative Problem Solving, Leadership in the Millennial Generation, Developing a Culture of Thinking, The Happiness Advantage.

Unfortunately, most Americans are caught in the “Success Trap.” We believe that success equals happiness. Accordingly, the more success we have, money, material wealth, status, the happier we will be.  Stop and think about that a minute. Think about the happiest person you know. Were they also the wealthiest?  When I think of happy people, I think of my own dad. He was probably the happiest and the most faithful person I have known. All you had to do was be around him and he would tell you. “Life is good.” “I wouldn’t change a thing.” But, he definitely was not the wealthiest person, and if you listened to him tell stories about his life, it was far from perfect. He lived through some very traumatic experiences. Actually, the truth is happiness determines our success.

On this journey, it is my goal to lead you toward success.
