The pages of this book bring to life the dynamics of learning, experiences, interaction, leading, and envisioning the applications of essential principles and concepts to enhance teaching, educational administration and leadership in achieving a desired mission. The cultures of the United States and the Middle East provide the contexts to convey the happenings of a lifetime. The diversity of human interactions has enriched experiences which shaped responses and forward movement to realize the potential of individuals engaged in these opportunities. History will reflect the essential results achieved which frees others to expand the scope of these endeavors. To launch a new American school in Cairo, Egypt, from "scratch" was the capstone of my educational and leadership career. To do so, I took each step while drawing upon ´everything´ I had ever experienced.

While flicking through some photographs of a holiday in the Caribbean in 2009 Craig Jordan was appalled by what he saw, an overweight out of shape middle aged man on a very slippery slope. Craig decided there and then on a campaign to get Fit for Fifty and this became his mantra but the question was which sport? Over the next few months he was a regular visitor in the gym and went out and bought a mountain bike but nothing seemed to inspire and getting the journey to get fit seemed destined to fail. On a whim Craig entered a local triathlon and from that moment was hooked on the sport that over the next year took him on an incredible journey across 3 continents, 16 countries meeting and training with the stars of the sport and in the process getting in better shape than he has ever been at any point in his life. An inspiration not only to triathletes but for anyone who believes age is a roadblock to ultimate fitness.
