For the next two days I will be live blogging the Global Leadership Summit. This is a special moment as the Summit will be celebrating its 25th year of investing in leaders. As we prepare to learn from this year’s speaker lineup, I want to take a look back at last year’s best leadership quotes.
I also would like to invite you to join myself, Rick Warren, Nona Jones, Bob Goff, Carey Nieuwhof, Mark Patterson and over 100 of today’s top Christian thinkers for the upcoming Navigating A New Season First Impressions Conference. This digital event will take place from November 4th through 6th. Nothing will prepare your church or organization to be effective in 2021 more than this event.

The morning’s final speaker was Nona Jones herself. As the Head of Global Faith-Based Partnerships at Facebook, Nona Jones leads the company’s work with faith-based organizations around the world. Jones was appointed to an executive role with a Fortune 100 company at only 23 years old. Since then she has led award-winning initiatives in public affairs, brokered multi-million-dollar business deals, addressed the United Nations and championed juvenile justice and education policy reform in the halls of Congress—all under the age of 35. Jones is a rare combination of preacher, author, business executive, entrepreneur, media personality and worship leader.
The following are 13 Leadership Quotes From Nona Jones on Safe Zones:
- Fear is an invitation to prepare. Fear is not a paralytic.
- Fear should become the servant of the thing you know you need to do.
- Inadequacy requires false sufficiency.
- Inadequacy causes you to believe the lie someone else is better prepared to do what you were assigned to do.
- Determine what you can change and change it.
- None of us are required to change the entire world but we are required to change the part of the world we influence.
- Until what’s possible becomes probable, it is not achievable.
- You don’t have to have all power. You just need to recognize the power you have to make an impact.
- You must build your pack to build your power.
- A pack will not let you leave the battle just because you know you can’t win.
- A pack will say, “You will not quit.”
- Safe is insufficient. As leaders, we are called to go first.
- Courage is not the absent. Courage is simply fear in the forward direction.
