The labs have been a powerful experience.

The speakers I heard today get it. They have touched on so many aspects of leadership.

Dr. Tim Elmore (www.growingleaders.com) spoke about the evolution of leadership styles, advocating for leader as poet/gardner, an exciting proposition for collaborative leadership. Sally Morgenthaler, coming from a place of deep experience, spoke about care of the leader's soul, using one of my favorite authors, Thomas Moore. Reggie McNeal is as good a speaker as he is writer. He spoke about the seven life habits of effective leaders, who he describes as one who blesses others. I love that definition. Jud Wilhite, a mega-church pastor, and Mike Foster, creator of XXXchurch.com, spoke about radical grace and radical integrity, based on their book, Deadly Viper.

Looking forward to Catalyst tomorrow
