Hey, Friend!
Every good leader knows that they must be a good communicator. However, when you want input or feedback from the group, it is important for you to be the last to share your thoughts. This is especially true if you want to foster an environment of input, trust, engagement, and collaboration.

Hey, Friend!
I hope you got a chance to listen to last week’s episode (#44). In it, I introduce something that you can be doing while you wait on the Lord as this is valuable time to work on your credibility.
As a catalyst for change in churches, which most of you know that you are, you absolutely must have credibility. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get others to accept or even tolerate the change that is coming.
In today’s episode, I uncover three things you can be doing while you wait on the Lord. Guess what! None of these involve change. They are centered around you building credibility by spending time with your people with curiosity and respect and a whole lot of humility.
I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!
Whether you were just hired as a minister or you have been working at your church a long time, it is very common for you to be viewed as a catalyst for change. People are looking to you to bring the change, to improve things.
So, how do you wait on the Lord to bring direction first? What do you do in the meantime?
In today’s episode, I suggest something that you can be doing as a catalyst for change, while you are waiting on the Lord to answer your prayers. It involves a period of self-reflection as you take a good, long, hard look…not at your church, but at yourself.
I pray this blesses you,

Hey, Friend!
If you are in a leadership position, my guess is that you can name areas in which you wish you had more confidence. But how much thought do you give to your humility?
You might be wondering how you can be confident and humble at the same time, but, actually, humility is one of the key characteristics of a confident leader.
In today’s episode, I share what humility looks like in leadership and I paint a word picture as to the characteristics of a confident, humble leader.
I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!
We would probably all agree that strength is important in a leader, especially mental and emotional strength, but that’s not where great leadership begins. That kind of strength is cultivated over time with experience.
Great leaders take the time for self-reflection, evaluating what is working and not working and what they need to do differently. Great leaders turn their mistakes, their failures into learning opportunities.
But in order to ask yourself those questions, you must leave pride at the door and enter into those conversations with humility and a desire to learn.
That is where great leadership begins. With humility.
In today’s episode, I am going to share with you some traits of a humble leader. See if you can find yourself in this description.
I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!
I will say it again. Personal growth and development is about becoming and it is never too late to become an effective leader. But, you MUST be willing to self-reflect, to ask yourself the hard questions, and to use your answers as the springboard to becoming.
At the end of this podcast, I share with you how to access my free guide: The Three Pillars of Rock-Solid Leadership. This is a self-assessment and you will find it sooo helpful!
And once you have determined the areas of your leadership that need some work, let’s see together how I can serve you. I want to help you build a strong foundation upon which your leadership can stand tall.
I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!
The very name - Empty Nest Syndrome- indicates that it is a big deal. I think it could also be called:
Hole in My Heart
or
Deafening Silence in My Home
Regardless of what you call it, it is a major life transition and we must learn how to navigate it so that we can enter the next chapter of our lives in a healthy way.
In today’s episode, I reframe how your relationship with your child changes when they go off to college and give some suggestions as to how you can look forward to life after empty nest.
I pray this blesses you!
