Sustaining Your Focus
It happens to everyone. At the beginning, the vision is strong and clear. Excitement and anticipation is in the air. You launch out on a new venture, hoping to accomplish great things. But then, over time, discouragement sets in and your vision begins to fade. It isn't easy to always keep on keeping on. But here is one small exercise, something you could do each day, in order to renew your sense of vision and stay focused.

Helpful Communication
Whatever you do, whether talking to a friend or guiding an organization, there is something to be said for straightforward communication. That is, conversation which is kind and polite, but also direct. Learning to clearly say what we mean, as opposed to dropping hints, makes for less confusion and results in much more being accomplished. Things can get a little crazy if manipulative communication methods go on for too long.

LEADERSHIP AND LIVING

What does this career-and-life-direction-guy know about leading a company, a business, a ministry, or a church? Really, why should I bother reading anything that I find here? Two good questions, to be sure. And since your time and my time is valuable, what follows is a brief explanation as to why I am attempting to do this and why it might benefit you and your organization.

First of all, I do not pretend to be a leadership expert or some sort of organizational guru. In the future, though, I hope to publish more articles written by people like that. You may have noticed that the first article in this collection is actually written by the CEO and President of Compassion Canada. My job is partly to find people who know more about leadership than I do, and then to provide a way for them to offer their wisdom to me and you. But, at the same time, my desire is to do what I can to assist individuals and organizations as they struggle to identify and develop their God-given potential. So feel free to have a look around. Take your time. And if you find anything here that might help your organization to grow and thrive…please, be sure to make use of it.
