For 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 morning’s next speaker was Chip Heath. Chip is a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, teaching courses on business strategy, change, and sticky communication. He is the co-author (along with his brother, Dan) of four books. Their most recent book, The Power of Moments (October 2017), explores why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us—and how we can learn to create these extraordinary moments in our life and work.
The following are 17 leadership quotes and lessons from session:
- Perfection is a little hard.
- Most experience fades.
- Not all of life-changing experiences are stored in memory.
- Disney World is structurally designed to be a miserable place.
- On average Disney is not a happy place. But Disney creates peak moments.
- The things you remember in life are peak moments.
- There are 4 Elements of Peak Moments.
- These are elevated sensory experiences that matter to you.
- We get insights into things. Sometimes it is insight into a challenge.
- When we set out to accomplish a goal and we achieve it.
- These are some of the most important moments we have. Moments with family and friends.
- Your first day at work should be memorable.
- Perfection is not required.
- Peak Moments matter.
- “I was blessed.I was given three months to live.” – quote from the book Chasing The Daylight
- Most often we as leaders don’t build peak moments for our people.
