Hey, Friend,

If you work at a church or nonprofit, then you know how necessary volunteers are. But recruiting volunteers takes so much time and keeping them is really hard.

In today’s episode, I am going to share with you a strategy for having volunteers that are worth their weight in gold. It requires a different strategy for recruitment and an understanding that once you get these volunteers, you have to take care of them in very specific ways.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, friend!

Resilience is something that we know when we see it, and we admire in others, but we don’t always feel resilient ourselves.

But as I have been saying for weeks, personal growth and development are about becoming, and it is never too late to become resilient.

Hey, Friend!

For the past couple of weeks, I have been talking about resilience, an important life skill and an essential leadership skill.

In today’s episode, I share some of the qualities of a resilient leader. As you listen, I want you to consider someone you know who you think of as resilient.

What is it about them that seems resilient? Likely, you have witnessed them navigating a setback and you have wondered how they did it.

What about you? How resilient are you? Reflect on times you have navigated setbacks. How did that setback affect you physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially?

If you can identify areas in which you are resilient, celebrate that!

And in the areas where you have identified you need more work, own that and decide the first step you are going to take to develop resilience in that area. And be patient with yourself.

You don’t become resilient by deciding to. You become resilient by practicing. Practice mastering your mindset. Practice doing what resilient people do. Practice asking for feedback about your resilience. Practice adapting to small changes before you tackle the big ones. Most skills are developed by practice and resilience is a skill. It takes practice.

I pray this blesses you!
