Leadership and building a ministry or business requires resourcefulness. As leaders, we need a lot less than we think, when we use our creativity. This month’s them came while writing the script for a previous episode. I started thinking about how I use some form of writing everyday in my business and the other skills I’ve had to acquire to be an entrepreneurial leader. This week I want to talk about the tool of active listening. Active listening goes hand in hand with coaching and requires a level of self discipline. // Show Notes Center for Creative Leadership:  "Using Active Listening to Coach Others" https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/coaching-others-use-active-listening-skills/ ICF (International Coaching Federation) Core Competency: Active Listening Developing the Leader Within You by John Maxwell Developing the Leader Around You by John Maxwell // Join us for our Fall Activation Circle.
