Over the next two days I will be dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to provide live-blogging the ReThink Leadership and Orange Conference. This is one of my go-to events each year. Led by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof, I feel this annual event provides the greatest amount of informative and relevant leadership content available. This year is proving to be no different even though it is an online experience.
As part of these posts, I want to make you aware of an incredible offer from MinistryDeal.com. We know pastors are needing to communicate in new and fresh ways to fund their ministries during COVID-19. As a result, online offerings are a challenge for many leaders. MinistryDeal is offering 52 giving talks for only $47!!! That’s right, less than $1 per talk. If these done-for-you talks help you get just one gift over the next year, it pays for itself. Plus, think how much stress is relieved and how many man-hours you will save by not having to generate this content. There is no better ROI. Simply click HERE or on the image provided to purchase. You will also get three FREE bonus items.
The session’s next speakers were Simon Sinek and Joel Mamby. Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. His goal is to help build a world of people who wake up every single day feeling inspired, feel safe at work, and feel fulfilled by the end of the day. Simon is leading a movement that empowers people to do the things that inspire them. He is the author of multiple best selling books, including Start with Why, Leaders Eat Last, Find Your Why, and his new book The Infinite Game.
Joel Mamby is the founder and CEO of Love Works, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to helping companies implement a culture of love in their organizations. Previously, he was the President and CEO of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, and the President and CEO of Herschend Enterprises, an entertainment company with brands such as the Harlem Globetrotters and Dollywood. Joel spent 20 years in the auto industry in general management and marketing roles. He is the author of Love Works: Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders.
The following are 20 Leadership Quotes from their wonderful sessions:

- Crisis forces us to get out of the weeds.
- Where are the leaders promising unity and hope and bridging divides.
- This is a time to embrace vulnerability.
