Get 1% Better every day

If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.

Friday’s Top 5: Success Tips

Friday’s Top 5: Success Tips

Friday’s Top 5: Handling Criticism

Friday’s Top 5: Handling Criticism

For better or worse, leaders put themselves out there, on display, for the entire world to see.  Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, business owner, entrepreneur, supervisor, or hold no titles, at some point in your professional career, you’re going to be...

How Jesus Builds A Team

How Jesus Builds A Team

A team is capable of accomplishing things that no individual, no matter how multi-talented, could do alone.  To function well: A team must be committed to a common vision and purpose, and it must be willing to work in unity for the improvement of the whole rather than...

It Doesn’t Have to be Perfect…

It Doesn’t Have to be Perfect…

Consider this statement: It doesn’t have to be perfect for God to bless it. As I read Scripture, I can’t find any instance where conditions were perfect before God blessed it.  Abraham didn’t have all the answers when asked to sacrifice his son...
