Pay Your Way with Change

We just completed hosting our 3rd Chick-fil-A Leadercast.  One thing that happens with each event is change. 

• change in our lives
• change in how we lead
• change in how we present the event next year
• change in how we deliver our messages

Let's face it, every opportunity that we have to grow is really a call for change.  I once had a very smart VP ask me how (he was sending me to a learning experience abroad) I was going to pay for my trip.  He wanted to know what I would do with what I learned.  This was a very valuable question - and since then, every event I have attended or hosted, I ask myself that question before attending and upon my return.
How will I pay for my trip?

How do you pay for your trips?  How can you prepare in advance to make that payment?

The Letters of LEAD

Lead - looking up LEAD in Webster's Dictionary, you will find an abundance of definitions for the word.  All have to do with guiding, being in front, directing activities.  None of the definitions take apart the letters that make up the word lead and apply the actions to it.   For example:

L stands for listen
E stands for encourage
A stands for action
D stands for decision-maker

or...in another set...

L stands for learning
E stands for empower
A stands for able
D stands for delivers

What are the letters of LEAD for you?  Add and share - would love to compile as many as possible!
