Embrace Your Gentle Spirit

Introvert: [n] a shy person; a person characterized by concern primarily with his or her own thoughts and feelings Do you consider yourself an introvert? I have been an introvert my whole life, both at home and in the workplace. Thankfully, being an introvert doesn’t mean you can’t be a leader as well. I’ve compiled a list of 5 tips to help introverts be leaders too.  Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone Getting out of your comfort zone can be a scary thing, but it can also be such a good thing. I wrote a blog a few weeks ago about getting out of your comfort zone. You can read it here. The Lord does not call us to be comfortable. He wants us to TRUST and obey Him. I know that it can be scary, awkward, and uncomfortable. But the Lord rewards those who trust Him. And for introverts, it can mean being exposed to things that you normally wouldn’t if you didn’t get out of your comfort zone. Take Initiative Being an introvert doesn’t have to mean that we sit back, never speak up and only do the work we’ve been given. Taking initiative can show that [...]

Leadership Lessons from the Christmas Story: Mary

By |2020-05-08T15:42:55-04:00December 12th, 2016|Faith, Faith-Based Leadership, Family|

Living boldly for Jesus won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. – Michelle Myers 12/12-12/22, we are going to be sharing some valuable lessons for the swHw woman within the story of Jesus’ birth. Though the greatest lesson we can grasp from this story is simply Jesus himself, we pray as we dig a little deeper for leadership and character application that these truths would leave us more in awe of our Savior and this wonderful time of year. Join us in the #swHwapp - download yours on iTunes and Google Play. “But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.’” – Luke 1:30-31 I know when I think of Mary, my mind usually drifts to the excitement in her assignment from God. What an unbelievable opportunity – to be the mother of God’s son. But while her assignment was unique and exciting, and Mary is spoken of with great respect and admiration today, it wasn’t like that 2,000 years ago. Most historians speculate Mary was between 15-16 years old when she gave [...]

5 Things You Should Pray for Your Business

By |2020-05-08T15:43:26-04:00November 22nd, 2016|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

Entrepreneurship is both an incredible tool that God can use for His kingdom and also fertile ground for us to point people to our own kingdom. Because of that, praying for your business and how you will handle that endeavor should be at the top of our to-do list. I know I've heard Michelle say, prayer is the single most important factor to running a business ,and I wholeheartedly agree, so today I'm sharing 5 things you can be praying for your business. 1. TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF OWNERSHIP First and foremost, we must pray that we understand our role in our business. Though the world sees us as the owner, we must give that role to God. I think if this was a one-time signing over of your business to God, it'd be simple, BUT each day, we are faced with the opportunity to take control and call the shots. Part of praying for understanding of ownership in close communion with God (through prayer, studying His Word and other spiritual disciplines) so when decisions need to be made, we are operating out of the wisdom God gives and not our own strength. It's also praying that God [...]

5 Tips Before Speaking Truth in Love

By |2020-05-08T15:43:31-04:00November 17th, 2016|Faith-Based Leadership|

Leadership is not for sissies. If there’s anything I’ve learned in almost nine years of entrepreneurship, this might be one of the reoccurring lessons I have to face on a regular basis. I’m not one that looks for confrontation, but I’ve also learned that in leadership, difficult conversations can’t be avoided forever. And many times, the longer they’re avoided, the worse off everyone ends up. But it’s important that when handling difficult issues, we follow Paul’s advice to Ephasus, and speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). So before I follow through with a difficult conversation, here are the five steps I follow to ensure I’m as prepared as possible to speak the truth in love: 1. The goal for the conversation is to help them, not to hurt them.  Loving instruction helps more than it hurts. It doesn’t mean the truth won’t be slightly painful to hear in the moment, but the reality for that person must mean that long-term, it will help them much more than it will hurt them. 2. I’m not afraid of the truth that needs to be said. Not all truth is easy to say, but the more vague we are in our [...]

You Can’t or You Won’t?

By |2020-05-08T15:44:19-04:00October 25th, 2016|Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

You can’t… or you won’t??? Ouch. You already know what’s coming don't ya? I know.  This phrase stepped on my toes big time last Sunday when I heard it asked. After many conversations over the past few months, I am learning one of the biggest downfalls we have as believers is that we haven’t scratched the surface to comprehending the magnificent power we have access to through God. His POWER at work in us can do FAR MORE than we could ever hope or imagine. - Ephesians 3:20 Yet we come back to this “I can’t” phrase before we even give God a chance. I can’t teach a Bible study, I can’t pray more, I can’t travel that far to minister to the lost, I can’t share the gospel with her, I can’t forgive them, I can’t give God my money, my time, my talent, etc. I can’t. I can’t. I can’t. But maybe if we were really honest with ourselves, we would admit, we just won’t. Because if you call yourself a Christ follower, you’ve given up the right to use the words “I can’t” when it comes to what God is calling you to do. I love [...]
