It's finally here! Tonight is the night! It is not large, but it will have a big impact. Read the book, implement the thoughts, grow forward. That is the key. What I wrote about in the book is what I use in my life, and have used as part of defining clear purpose in my … Continue reading Book launch tonight!
Managing Time or Harnessing Vision?
That is the question for the week! My book release is happening on Wednesday at 7:00pm CDT, and completely online. I will talk a bit, but mostly it will be left for commentary and thoughts as I make the order page live for people to download. The event is on my Facebook page if you … Continue reading Managing Time or Harnessing Vision?

A Resilient Life
Resilience is a good trait, not just in leadership, but for every walk of life. As I made my way past Necessary Endings (last week) I came across this book by Gordon MacDonald. I had picked it up at a leadership conference the year before, almost exactly at the time that I realized I was not … Continue reading A Resilient Life
Great Time at Camp!
Thanks for the great opportunity to speak into the lives of young leaders! I had a great week walking and talking with these fine folks at Roseau River Bible Camp this week. We discussed personality, growing in identity, and leadership in a team setting. What does it mean to know your personality and continue learning … Continue reading Great Time at Camp!
Necessary Endings
Ah yes, another encouraging title from my long list of books with impact! This one came a little late in my leadership journey, as it presented a message I believe I needed to be convinced of earlier on. In my younger years I spoke of moving on from a situation that was not a fit … Continue reading Necessary Endings
Shattered Dreams
How's that for a title? Well, in keeping with my January promise to review books that impacted me in recent years, I am starting with this one. It is by no error that I have chosen this selection of books after last week's discussion on mental health. These books were largely part of my getting … Continue reading Shattered Dreams
Let’s Talk…But don’t save it for one day
I love the #BellLetsTalk initiative. It creates awareness to mental health issues, and destroys barriers created by ignorance and stigma. Unfortunately, there is a big push for that day, and then it fades. People shut up, listening is deafened, and awareness slows. I know for myself, my family, and friends around me, there is much … Continue reading Let’s Talk…But don’t save it for one day
Creating Engagement with Your Awesomeness
I was recently at a tradeshow for my other business venture (MARRY ME!). It was a learning experience as I had to answer the same question in a variety of forms: What do you do? People would actually create a bubble away from the table until they decided whether they wanted to engage. Is this … Continue reading Creating Engagement with Your Awesomeness
Helping People with Their Fundraising
I had the privilege of spending a late evening with individuals needing help with their fundraising vision. It is very rewarding to help people see past the nuts and bolts of whatever they see is the process, and take them to a place where they get to create a vision for their goals! Sometimes that process … Continue reading Helping People with Their Fundraising
Winning Friends and Influencing People
Christmas is long passed, and the New Year is getting old. What do you have planned to start things right? One of the books that has left a mark on my life, ministry, and friendships was introduced to me by my dad many years ago. I have seen the outline put to work in many … Continue reading Winning Friends and Influencing People
New Year…Unstable to Onward?
Happy 2018! Have you broken all your resolutions yet? I looked at my first post of the new year 2017 and recalled how it was focused on a small light at the end of what seemed like a very long tunnel. I was hopeful, don't get me wrong, but I also felt the pain of … Continue reading New Year…Unstable to Onward?
