Guest Leader: Presiding Bishop of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church

If I could teach leaders one skill, it would be the fine art of what I would call “Chit-chat”. Making small talk, making conversation about things that might be dull and boring to you but might be of great significance and value to somebody else. When you are a person in leadership people want to know if you are not just interested in what they do, but are you interested in them?

Producing who you are

So, what do you produce? Do you produce what you know, or do you produce who you are? Most people think that we will produce what I know as a…

Scott Jones

Guest Leader: Senior Pastor of Grace Church in Texas

So, what do you produce? Do you produce what you know, or do you produce who you are? Most people think that we will produce what I know as a leader. But who you are is the crucible in which what you know is placed. The messenger is the message. So you are producing people around you, my question is, more than what you know, how are you transmitting?

How to inspire the people you lead [100TH VIDEO]

Michael Lukaszewski

Guest Leader: Founder of Church Fuel

Some people say you have to inspire the people you lead on a daily basis. Some people say that all that inspirational stuff is just emotional fluff. Why do you have to keep pumping people up to make them feel good? I want you to know that people follow you and follow your leadership because of how you make them feel.

Shifting Leadership

Clive Gopaul

Guest Leader: Senior Pastor at Conquering Through Prayer Ministries International

Leadership as you have probably realized yourself already, is not a static thing, it is a dynamic thing. You are the leader and your leadership style has to continuously be shifting to the people you are leading. Who you are and how you lead has to adjust to who you are leading. If you don’t keep track of who you are leading pretty soon you’ll not be leading at all.

Johnathan Alvarado

Guest Leader: Bishop of the Grace Fellowship of Churches International

How do you define a win for your team? There are two ways to do that. You can walk into a room with your team being there as the leader and say “This is how we know we will be successful, by achieving this, this, and that.” And you define the win, you define success. May I suggest a second paradigm for you to consider? Watch this video and I’ll tell you all about it.

What you do daily becomes permanent

Daniel Floyd

Guest Leader: Founding and Senior Pastor of Lifepoint Church.

In my consulting work a lot of people want to know how to get to a certain place, what habits should they have, how should they be thinking and what should they work on. My big question when I’m talking to people is, what are you doing today? Because whatever you are doing today is forming a habit for what is going to happen in the future. Here are some examples.

Starting and Finishing

Nobody remembers how you started, and nobody forgets how you finished. I remember when I started at the college that I came to as a student from India. I was…

John Joseph

Guest Leader: Senior Pastor of the World Impact Community Churches and Founder and President of TROTB.

Nobody remembers how you started, and nobody forgets how you finished. I remember when I started at the college that I came to as a student from India. I was their janitor, breakfast cook, and dishwasher. That is how I started. I ended up 12 years later as their President of now a University in Atlanta, USA. So I finished there as a University President. How you finish your race that is what is going to be remembered. Finish strong!

The Dream Assassin: Impatience

Donavan Cassell

Guest Leader: Lead Pastor of Rhema South Family Church in Johannesburg, South Africa.

What is the one thing that will kill your dream more than anything else? Now there are many dream assassins that we can talk about, we can talk about people, distraction, lack of resources, timing, etc. But what I found in my work is that the number one dream assassin is impatience. Everything has a gestation period, everything has an incubation period, everything has a period of time where it works itself out. Let me tell you about my experience with this.

Two Habits: Quitting & Persevering

David Ireland

Guest Leader: Founder and Lead Pastor of Christ Church in New Jersey.

Do you know people who start stuff and quit? It is a pattern, you see them doing it again and again. They have an idea and they never finish. They start a project but give to someone else because they don’t want to do it anymore. But then you also see people start things and finish with perseverance. They both have challenges, they both have setbacks, they both have failures, they both come to a place where they lack resources, they have similar challenges. One quits, the other perseveres. What are you doing today?

Mastering Your Now

John Iuliano

Guest Leader: Senior Pastor of LifeSource Christian Church in Sydney, Australia.

Everybody wants to excel “then” but excellence “then” starts now. I want to suggest that if you could master your context right now, whatever you’re doing, whatever position you are in, whatever your title might be, master what you are doing now. Because your excellence in the future is not contingent on the future, your excellence in future is contingent on how you are handling what you are doing now.
