For the next two days, INJOY Stewardship Solutions has dispatched me to Catalyst ’18 in Atlanta. Catalyst is a 2-day experience to help leaders build great churches, grow strong teams, and be a catalyst for change. This year’s theme is Fully Alive and is based on what the Bible says in John 10:10 – “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that you might have life and have it to the full.”
In addition to the content provided, the team at INJOY Stewardship would like to offer you a FREE gift. As you know, October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Simply click HERE or on the image provided and download a done-for-you script which you can read in your services to honor your pastor and staff. Being a pastor can be challenging to say the least. These words will honor and encourage your pastor and rally your congregation to a standing ovation. Don’t believe me? Click HERE.
The afternoon’s next speaker was Ian Cron. Ian is a bestselling author, nationally recognized speaker, Enneagram teacher, psychotherapist, Dove Award–winning songwriter, and Episcopal priest. His books include the novel Chasing Francis and spiritual memoir Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me.
The following are 8 leadership quotes and lessons from his incredible session:
- If you don’t learn to understand and lead yourself, you will never be able to understand and lead others.
- The single most important quality to succeeding as a leader is self-awareness.
- The overall key predictor of success among leaders is self-awareness.
- The vast majority of people believe they are self-aware when only 13% are.
- Self-awareness can be developed. Self-awareness begins with self-knowledge.
- Most of us only want so much self-knowledge.
- Self-awareness is key predictor for your success in parenting, marriage, your business, and your relationship with God.
- The examined life is a life worth living.
Next up is Devon Franklin.
