My friend, Rick, shared some exciting news! His wife had been asked to give the commencement address at this year’s Business School graduation ceremony for a major university!

Rick went on to say, “Denise has given many important speeches and I’ve never seen her nervous. But this time she’s nervous.”

I pondered several reasons why this talk might have her concerned. But I suspect it mainly has to do with the students.

Denise has an opportunity to share wisdom with the young people who will soon be leaders in our business community.

Proverbs 4:6 teaches, “Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”

Passing wisdom along to our young leaders is an important charge for each of us to take seriously.
