Mr. Lee Ellis, Leading with Honor

We are excited and honored to welcome author Lee Ellis to Cordillera Ranch for a Veterans Day Dinner with Club members on Thursday, November 11.

Mr. Ellis, a former Air Force pilot and POW, is the author of Leading with Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton, in which he details the lessons he learned during his sixty-four months of captivity in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Citing the exemplary leaders he served under who inspired courage through the most horrific circumstances, he relates his experiences to the principles of leadership that we can all apply to our everyday lives. In his book, he states, “In the Hanoi Hilton I learned that leading with honor is about doing the right thing, even when it entails personal sacrifice.” 

This is a special opportunity for our members to listen to one of the great heroes of our country who is now a corporate consultant for leaders of Fortune 500 companies, healthcare executives, small business owners and entrepreneurs.  

Thank you in advance to Bill Lee, Cordillera Ranch member, for introducing Mr. Ellis to us and providing the opportunity for him to speak at our upcoming dinner. 

“Leading with Honor® is a consulting, training, coaching, and speaking company specializing in developing authentic leaders, high performance teams, and strong cultures that thrive in change. We work with organizations (domestic and international) of all sizes in multiple industries offering our expertise. Our founder, Lee Ellis has written four books on leadership and speaks worldwide on the leadership lessons learned in the Hanoi Hilton POW Camp. “

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive.
