Our church is hosting the global leadership summit. This is, by far, one of my favorite events to attend every year: the learning, the relationships, and how God moves through leaders in our region.

Here are a few takeaways from the session with Deb Liu on “Taking back your power”:

• When was the last time you thought of yourself as having power?
• Power is. not a dirty word.
• Power is the ability to influence events and the people around you.
• Power isn’t the problem, but the misuse of power.
• When you hear no, that opens up the opportunity for someone to say yes.
• Taking back your power doesn’t mean succeeding alone.
• We have to ask ourselves, who does God want us to be? Who did God create you to be?
