STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS
- Part of leading with heart is simply leading with humanity and remembering that we are all human.
- Failure is a down payment on success.
- When we are called to something, it’s not a matter of failure or success; it’s a matter of obedience.
- In times of transition, we sometimes need to slow down, reflect and listen before we can see what’s coming next.
- Surround yourself with people who empower you, not enable you.
- We often need people who can tell us the truth in order to save us from ourselves.
- Each month, ask your team, “What’s one thing I need to get better at?”
- When you make a mistake, be transparent and just own it.
- At the end of the day, people want to feel seen and heard and to have a voice.
- All feedback is helpful, but it is possible to have too many voices. Cultivate a small circle of trusted voices.
- Calling does not equate to “easy”, but if God calls you, he will equip you.
- You can be exactly where you are supposed to be, and still miss things about your previous chapter.
- With every new season, you will gain new things, but you will also lose some things you value. Also, a new season is not forever.
- If you feel called to something new, just start moving. You won’t necessarily know if you’re heading in the right direction or not until you get going.
- Caregivers are the fastest growing segment of the workforce.
- We live in a world that talks about “balance,” but “alignment” is the better target to pursue.
