At points in each of our lives we have our own dark nights where we feel trapped in the proverbial pit without the ability to escape.  In The Dark Knight Rises, each of the characters must climb from…

As much as we would all love to be Aragorn, Legolas, or Gandalf in LOTR, if we are being honest with ourselves, we are probably more like Bilbo.  We love to find a comfortable spot and make a life fo…

We all wish we could lead like Gandalf, but how could we ever become that magnanimous and how do we contribute to a better world when there aren't orcs and dragons to fight?  

Gandalf's style of serva…

Regardless of who you are, we at WonderTour believe that you are a leader.  Whether you run your own business, lead a team of problem solvers, serve as mother or father to a family, or are just growi…
