Privileged to present three sessions to the wonderful women of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, on the topic, “7 Attributes of a Woman of Influence.” Love this church, it’s leadership team of excellence, and the fun of reconnecting with friends from years ago! Here is link to hear: Daughter’s Conference Messages
I love gardening for many reasons, and often find parallels between steps in the yard and steps in my own life and career.
For the last three years there has been one spot along our path where the monkey grass keeps dying. There are many others thriving within inches of this spot but for some reason, whatever is planted here keeps dying.
So this spring it’s time for a new strategy. Rather than putting money in the ground only to have it die, I decided to dig deeper and get to the root of what’s going on underground. I’m eager to see if this will yield to lasting growth in this spot.
Isn’t life so similar? We often find certain areas in our souls and behavior that keep producing negative results. Maybe we overreact, are mean or impolite, jump to wrong conclusions, or go through the same heartaches over and over again. When this happens, I’ve learned that often it’s not what’s visible that needs help, but the ground underneath. Deeper issues of my own soul tend to rear their ugly heads and I need to go deeper to get to the root cause.
There’s no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed of taking the time to get our ground in order. It’s beautiful growth we’re after, in the garden and in life!
This was my second time speaking for the women’s leadership club at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, NJ. The women chosen for this program are bright go-getters ready to take on the marketplace. This time it was a “Building Personal Brand” workshop and there was lots of interaction and great energy as they worked through exercises and outlined steps for pursuing their dreams and organizing a personal board of directors. Great branding for all!
For anyone in the Denver or Colorado Springs area, please join me at the Daughter’s Women’s Conference at New Life Church. Every woman is a daughter and this conference is all about becoming a woman of influence. I would love to see you there as we explore ways to influence our work, families, friends, and the causes we care about most. Check out this video invitation: Daughter’s Conference Invitation
