Every year, my team and I attend the leadership summit. To capture what I’m learning and to help you grow as a leader, I always share my notes from each session, so be sure to check back after each session and bookmark them for future use.
The second session featured a talk from one of the best communicators, T.D. Jakes.
The following are some takeaways:
- You want a vision that brings out the best in you.
- A vision should sound ridiculous until you do it.
- If you don’t believe in anything crazy, you will never find out what you could be.
- You think something you can’t tell anyone because it’s so big. Something beyond your means. Takes you out of your comfort zone and scares you to death.
- Too many people have to see their way clear before they get started.
- It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you finish.
- Visions start in small places.
- Sometimes you build the idea in the wrong place. Visions need the right wind.
- So much of what we learn is about winning but what stimulates growth is losing.
- What did you learn from your last failure and how has it prepared you to soar?
- To believe that something is possible is what makes greatness.
