Will You Lean Into Momentum?

wes — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 13:12:18 +0000

One of the things that has shocked me was how old I was when I first read John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I’m ashamed to admit that it was only a couple years ago. As I read about each law, so many of them made sense, but a ...

Adapt and Grow

One of the things I admire the most about my dad is his ability to adapt. He has farmed all of his life, but he hasn't done the same thing all the way through.

Do You Ever Forget Things?

Don't get me wrong, they were trying to make a difference, I was just asking a bad question. A question that put them on a path other than I wanted them on.

Multiplication vs Addition

wes — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 14:37:12 +0000

Open your text books chapter 2 section 1. Today we are going to talk about multiplication. Just kidding, kind of. The math concepts that come to mind apply to leadership as well. Would you rather be given $100 plus $100 or be given $100 times 100? As we seek to ...

Relational Investments

Early yesterday morning my junior high daughter realized her band audition video was due by midnight last night instead of Friday, as she thought. So she spent the day practicing her pieces. And I mean the day. Every time I came home, she was playing, trying to figure it out. ...

Increasing Awareness

wes — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:09:24 +0000

I’ve enjoyed getting to work with a new group of student leaders over the past couple of months, and I’ve been sharing my thoughts as I go along. Last week I mentioned missing having a shared language (not in those words, but that’s the idea). So, I’ve slowly been trying ...

Baby Steps

wes — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 13:53:24 +0000

I’m a terrible parent. There, I’ve said it. I’ve felt this way for a while, but it feels nice to be able to say it. When our first child was still an infant, I distinctly remember a conversation with my wife. As our daughter was learning to take her first ...

Is This the Worst Student Leadership Mistake?

wes — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 13:59:33 +0000

What do you do when you have a student who shows great leadership potential? Over the course of my ministry experience I’ve had a few students who seem to be a step ahead of their peers when it comes to reading and understanding a room. They have an intuition about ...

Flashback Friday #4

wes — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 15:36:22 +0000

I have a post it note on my computer monitor in my office that says: Not having THAT conversation is selfish. I wrestle with this constantly. I dread difficult conversations. That’s why today’s flashback is a reminder for me as much as for you to not hide from hard conversations. ...
