My passion is to help women become Godly, effective, servant-leaders - whether in a full time ministry situation, as a volunteer serving in ministry or in a leadership role in the workplace.

New Leaders

I love to sit next to someone who is just studying leadership for the first time. It's like taking a friend to one of your favorite travel destinations that they have never been to. You sort of take everything in with fresh eyes and ears as you watch their reactions to the new information and surroundings.
Today I invited a co-worker to come with me to hear a talk on leadership. She is not a young person yet she has never given much thought to the topic of leadership. These days she's motivated to learn more. The demands of her job are making her realize her need to grow into a better leader. She wants to learn and she takes lots of notes , asks many questions, and is trying really hard to take it all in.
As I sat there and watched her reactions during the teaching I kept wanting to say "Wait till you see/hear/learn this!" and "Did you catch that?"
I love watching the face and hearing the thoughts and questions of someone as they just begin to get a glimmer of "getting it."

it's exciting when God uses the things He's taught us in a way that grows other believers...what a blessing! I'm glad you got to share that with your co-worker!
