The next seven days are some of my funnest of the year as a leader. From Wednesday, May 1st through Friday, May 3rd I will be live-blogging the ReThink Leadership and Orange Conference. From a sheer relevance and intellectual perspective, no three days expand my thinking and make me smarter more than these events. Carey Nieuwhof heads up ReThink Leadership and is just a genius. You will want to bookmark my site and check back frequently those three days. You will get a lot smarter as well.
Also, if you do not listen to the Linch With A Leader Podcast, this is an excellent time to start. Hosted by Mike Linch, the magnificent pastor of NorthStar Church, he interviews people who from all walks of life who lead with their faith out in front. I had the privilege of being this month’s guest. I had an incredible time being interviewed and I think we helped a lot of leaders get better. Make sure you click HERE to listen.
