Welcome to the Freedom at Home Team
Leadership Council Program (FAHTLC)
Because we care about you, your personal development, and your success, we have created a program that will help you master the principles of leadership. Topics in this program will include: Leadership development, Success Training and Teamwork.
In today's world, success rises and falls on leadership. Your ability to lead will determine who you influence and what you are able to accomplish.
There is no cost for this program. All we ask is that you commit, monthly, to this leadership program. The more you learn, the higher your earning potential and the more self-confidence you are likely to develop.
Leaders will receive:
1. Button banners to place on their site and signature line as a proud member of the Freedom at Home Team Leadership Council.
2. Recognition at Freedom at Home Team conventions.
To Qualify for the FAHT Leadership Council you:
1. Must listen to two leadership audios a month from this site.
2. Must read one book every two months from our recommended book section.
3. Must attend Monday Morning Leadership Meetings. If you cannot attend a live call, you can listen to the recordings.
4. Must send a short summary to your NSD every month regarding the audios or the book that you read. We want to keep track of your progress and we also want to know how we can assist you further in your leadership development.
We are excited about this new leadership program. We know that we will see many people rise to new levels and become strong leaders in the Freedom at Home Team and in Ameriplan.
Your NVP's

The Way of the Goose:
We humans can learn a lot from geese. Yes, that’s right, geese.
In fact, in 1991 Angeles Arrien gave a speech called “Lessons from Geese” that was largely based on the work of Milton Olson.
What follows is my take on the story.
Lesson 1: Fly Together
It’s truly a marvelous site to see a group of geese flying together in perfect V formation. Research has shown that as each goose flaps its wings an intense uplift is created for the birds behind them. Further studies state that this “teamwork” adds 71% more flying range compared to a goose flying on its own.
Moral of the Story: Partnerships and teamwork rule the day. The days of the Lone Ranger are long gone (bad example, as even the Long Ranger had Tonto but you know what I mean). If you surround yourself with excellent people you’re far more likely to succeed than if you attempt to go at it alone.
Lesson 2: Stay in formation
If you’ve ever watched geese fly, you’ve likely seen one fall out of formation. And when this happens the fallen away goose begins to struggle mightily until it manages to fight its way back into formation.
Moral of the Story: Once you’ve established a good team stay together and work together. Sure, times will get tough and you may become annoyed with one another from time to time… but synergy cannot be created by a single person working in isolation.
Lesson 3: Rotate
While flying in V formation the lead goose eventually tires and rotates to the back of the pack to re-charge their battery while another goose takes its place at the front.
Moral of Story: It’s important to share the load amongst team members. It’s also important to ensure that all workers are cross trained and able to perform multiple tasks.
Lesson 4: Honk
While it’s not always possible to hear from the ground, geese are a noisy bunch when flying in V formation. There are several theories of why this is. One theory is the geese honk to encourage each other… while another theory hypothesizes the honking is used to communicate where each goose is. You know, hurry up pal (honk, honk) I’m right on your feathers.
Moral of the Story: No matter the reason for goose honking, it goes without saying that we should always communicate with one another offering encouragement as needed. We should also have ways to communicate when something is not right. This can be likened to the way lean companies “pull the andon cord” when a problem arises.
Lesson 5: Leave no Goose Behind
Whenever a goose becomes unable to fly (becomes sick, gets a bullet in the belly, etc.) two other geese fall out of formation and stay with their fallen comrade until the impaired goose is able to fly or dies.
Moral of the Story: The best teams I’ve ever been on were made of people who genuinely cared for each other and would always help each other out no matter the situation. It seems geese figured this out a long time ago.
