The H3 Leader Podcast

Can a physical space be "life changing." Yes. Yes, it can. And if you want to amplify the impact even more, experience that physical space in community with people you love and respect. Thanks for not only an amazing experience, Doug, but for forty years of friendship. Until next time...

Why do we aim to be consummate, life-long learners? To do our part in making this world a better place...

Get in line, folks! Leaders are consummate, life-long learners.

"I've only got a few more years on this life, and I'm going to do what I do well." Know Thyself

Life is not a consistent series of mountain peak experiences. In truth, it's more about "doin' that laundry" than anything else. Peace is found in accepting this reality...

Our physical health is a metaphor for all the spheres - heart, soul, mind, and body. A key to success is consistency, over time, in the realm of historically proven practices. Every day is training day...

You and I choose what to do with the apparent success and accomplishments of others. Release the negativity. Choose to be inspired. Embrace humility. Celebrate with them. Humble maturity is a beautiful thing.

If you don't think so, you're just not paying attention... How might we embrace this reality and use it for good?

Taking a "leap of faith" sounds so romantic, doesn't it? In real time, though, it can be a very scary move. Did you catch the deeper motive that saw them through? Before taking that leap, check to see if you have something similar. Otherwise, you might just be being reckless...

Wow. Best friends on the side of a spectacular mountain talking life, leadership, and faith. What's not to love? Please allow me to introduce you to my good friend - Mr. Doug Hurley.

Our conversation with Lee last October has blessed us with 15 "shorts" that get to the heart of what it means to be a Christian leader. Now, what are you (and I) going to do with this treasure trove of inspiration and encouragement?

You can search far and wide - in all the leadership development material on the shelves - and you likely won't find much on this method. Oh, it's in there "between the lines" in a number of titles, for sure. But, our guest Lee Bates calls it out in today's short. Our first point is common, but not the last. As Simon Sinek likes to say, it's the "why" that counts...

There is a mystery in the mix that involves providence and effort. Though impossible to fully understand, we are called to walk in that mystery...

In our Convene Forum Day this week we discussed, among other things, the leader's challenge in dealing with "glory." I've heard it said that most people are, deep down, fearful of the power they would possess in the absolute fullness of life. As a result, they shrink back. The H3 Leader presses into this fullness - their "redemptive potential." But in doing so, they hav...

"Greater results, less drama, so that everybody enjoys more freedom." Gotta love that tagline!

Do you have one? If not, I've got a great one here you can steal...

It can be difficult to let C and D Players go - for various reasons. But once all is said and done, why are we surprised? It works better...

One of the biggest aces up my leader development sleeve is... ...officiating high school basketball. It is an amazing playground for growth. How about you? What's your non-vocational training playground?

A year from now, how will you feel about your decision today?

Put one foot in front of the other...

Go ahead. Get a BHAG in your sights. But know this: There is only one way to get anywhere of value with your integrity in check. Consistency over time. Every Day Is Training Day!

"Life is an occasion. Rise to it." - Mr. Magorium's Magic (Wonder) Emporium

"All good leaders have an 'I used to...' statement." Likely, more than one!! Take a minute to learn what Lee is talking about here, and then I'm going to ask for something I rarely do - a quick comment on this post. Do you have a recent 'I used to...' statement you would be willing to share with us?

Winter is here. What are you going to do about it? Dry seasons abound in our business, life, and faith realms. How might we be more intentional during these seasons, planting seeds that, in harvest season, can serve the world within and around us well?

Helping leaders in the pursuit of their redemptive potential. Tis a glorious calling!
