Have I blogged this before? Why yes, yes I have! As we have entered the Advent season, anticipating and preparing for the celebration of Jesus at Christmas, I planned on sending out a few insights on preparation through the month. I revamped 'My Daily Skeleton' recently for the download page and it struck me how … Continue reading What is your daily routine?
What’s next… Coaching through transition
Are you looking at the next stage in life or career? What's next. I'm calling this coaching package what's next, remove the question mark. We all go through change, we all go through some transition in life, but we don't always take advantage of the resources available to us to help us see what's next. … Continue reading What’s next… Coaching through transition
A ‘satisfied’ existence
I often discuss expectations with people in every setting I find myself. It is one of the unifying factors of humanity: We have expectations and we they are often not met. I see this especially in church settings, where the vast majority of expectations are not expressed, and almost as often, are not met. The … Continue reading A ‘satisfied’ existence
How’s your timing? Personal, generational, organizational…
This weekend I get to preach for the first time in a while, and I am a little excited about the title: Is God on time? That is a pretty loaded question for a person that is admittedly late for just about everything in life. My Dad used to joke that I would be late … Continue reading How’s your timing? Personal, generational, organizational…
A few views on vision
How do you view the term 'vision' when it comes to your church? Your personal life? Your work group or team? Vision has earned a bad rap in many circles because of how it has been used to manipulate a number of situations. A leader gets up on stage and starts sharing about their dream … Continue reading A few views on vision
What’s the most important metric?
This is a trick question. You will not find a perfect answer at the end of this post. Sorry, but so much of what determines success for you says something about what you see as most important. We can say we all agree on what is most important, but how we define it will differ. … Continue reading What’s the most important metric?
Preparing for the year ahead!
Well, if you are like me you schedule a lot of your life according to the academic calendar. Every church or ministry I have worked with has done so, and it just seems to be the way to do it. School starts, people get serious after summer holidays, harvest is happening or almost complete, time … Continue reading Preparing for the year ahead!
Invest in your personal development, even during a pandemic
Do you invest in your own personal development? People tend to land on either end of the spectrum when it comes to a personal growth plan, it is a nice idea but I don't need it, or I don't have the time or money. There are those of us who are ‘forced’ to take part … Continue reading Invest in your personal development, even during a pandemic
How to plan with hope in 2021
How do you determine if a new year will be a good one? As we have discovered through the example of 2020, there is much that is out of our control. For many, that made the parts we can control feel unstable. For the most part, 2020 did more than test our resolve, and many … Continue reading How to plan with hope in 2021
Happy new year???
I sure hope so! 2020 has given us plenty to write home about! Depending on your perspective, it was either a year of pruning, growing, and maybe making some much-needed change. Otherwise it was dismal and a small piece of hell for many. But maybe it was both? I talk a lot about gratitude here … Continue reading Happy new year???
Go against the odds
I was a part of a great discussion on Twitter last night, all about resiliency and going against the odds. There is a lot to say about feeling like the odds are stacked against us. Too often that has more to do with perception than reality. We train ourselves into believing our lives and efforts … Continue reading Go against the odds
My first MBTI workshop by Zoom!
Yes, you heard me right, I finally got the opportunity to go through my MBTI assessment with a group via a video platform! I was a little worried about how I would convey different thoughts and activities for individuals to discover their type, but it came together. It actually forced me to improve on my … Continue reading My first MBTI workshop by Zoom!
