Additional Resources: Connect with Jennifer Dzwonar on LinkedIn Connect with Katherine Coble on LinkedIn Connect with Nikki on LinkedIn  Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways:  Internal communication should be the top priority in any crisis. Employees are often overlooked, yet they are crucial to managing the situation. Consistent messaging for internal and external audiences is vital in today's connected world. The “mixed internal” communication approach ensures transparency. Trust is built long before a crisis hits—regular, honest communication strengthens this foundation. Timing matters: leaders must act swiftly in a crisis, providing accurate updates even if full details aren't yet available. Pre-crisis planning is essential. Have a plan, practice it, and ensure your employees know it exists.

LEADING WELL IN TROUBLED TIMES DEMANDS A STRONG FOUNDATION “Leaders are expected to maintain the course in the worst of storms. No one wants to believe their leader will abandon them when the trials come. Truth is, leaders are human too. The crisis which impacts everyone else impacts them in the same way. As a leader the calling, the expectation, the demand is to have mastered some tools and skills which allow you navigate even when everything seems in disarray. A leader must have a strong foundation of moral grounding and steadfast principles to make decisions by. Before the world gets any messier, its time to take stock of your own foundations and your decision making principles and priorities.” Watch the video 8-22-24: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris/episodes/LEADING-WELL-IN-TROUBLED-TIMES-DEMANDS-A-STRONG-FOUNDATION-e2ng5ns Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

Who is in charge of the church? Continuing this series about the church, Pastor Jamie shares about church authority. What is a church?Ekklesia - a church is an intentional gathering of people who follow Jesus. It's not a building, it's a spiritual family. Who is in charge of the church? Jesus is in charge of the church.Colossians 1:8 NLT "Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body."Ephesians 1:22-23 NLT Jesus is in charge, but He uses leaders to care for His body.Ephesians 4:11-13Jesus gave us some going-away gifts. He left us with the Holy Spirit, His written word, and He left us with leaders who have been gifted and commissioned to help us all grow spiritually.In the church, everyone is a minister, but not everyone is a leader. Things you need to know about church leadership:1. Leaders are stewards.       Matthew 28:18-19aLeaders of the church are simply stewards of Jesus' authority.James 3:1 NLT "Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly."2. Leaders are servants.       Mark 10:42-45Don't wait to get your life together before you serve others. Serving others is how you get your life together. 3. Leaders are imperfect and incomplete.1 Timothy 1:16 Don't ever try to get from a leader what you can only get from the Lord. We don't follow people, we follow Jesus.4. Some church leaders are bad leaders.Jeremiah 23:1-2Leaders who have unquestioned authority, exert control over you, require you to get permission from them, practice elitism and utilize shunning are engaging in spiritual abuse. RUN. 5. Leaders are necessary.    Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit."Acts 20:28-30We need shepherds because there are wolves out there, and shepherds lay their lives down for the sake of the sheep.    It's time for you to get healed from church hurt.The Lord told me years ago that he was going to send people to VFC that had been wounded.Proverbs 14:4The church is plan A for bringing the Kingdom to earth and there is no backup plan. Church is a spiritual hospital – you will find sick people. Church is a spiritual gym – you will find out-of-shape people.God lives among the mess. We should as well. Are you embracing church authority?

The importance of leading well during times of change (of which there is a lot of at the moment!) and the importance of leaders looking after their own wellbeing as part of leading well.  A recent study interviewed 20 CEOs from leading companies in the USA. It showed that really effective leaders helped improve team and individual performance and helped the organisations do really well.  On the flip side, leaders who were burnt out or stressed passed this onto their team. They tended to be closed off to new ideas, create a negative psychological climate, and make decisions based on anxiety and avoidance.  This highlights the need for leaders and organisations to make sure leader's mental wellbeing is a priority. Leaders should consider this as a core part of their job and actively schedule it in.  It's helpful for leaders to make sure they have good social connections outside of work and ideally a peer network across their business that they can talk openly with as they're often not able to share everything with their team.  Important to be predictable in their role and part of this is managing their own emotional expression, but what do they do with the “residue” of this? Getting professional coaching/supervision can be really helpful in this domain.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And it's not just to be opened up for the times we are in church, but for our work in the world and our life in the world." — Jeanne Porter King Author and leadership coach Dr. Jeanne Porter King joins us on the podcast to discuss wellness, leadership, and the opportunities for Black women.  What does it look like to thrive as a leader while resisting oppressive forces in our culture? Author and leadership coach Dr. Jeanne Porter King joins us on the podcast to discuss her book Leading Well: A Black Woman's Guide to Wholistic, Barrier-Breaking Leadership. The book follows the story of the Samaritan woman at The Well in John 4, establishing a framework for leadership that uniquely reflects the lives of women of color. Jeanne writes about specific challenges that Black women face in leadership roles, educating all of us and offering widely applicable leadership wisdom. We talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in pursuing our callings and how patriarchal systems can inhibit our ability to ask for what we need. Jeanne's instruction is wise and spirit-filled, and I think you'll enjoy listening. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you'll hear an excerpt from our conversation where Jeanne talks about the unique ways caregiving can  complement our leadership journeys. So jump right in! We're so glad you're here. — Ann Boyd For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

We are in February. And February, in the United States in particular, has to do with Valentine's Day and romantic relationships in specifically, but more in general, relationships and friendships. And so I have an interesting conversation with Elizabeth Laing Thompson about her new book, “When a Friendship Falls Apart.” I absolutely fell in love with her! It's a thick volume, especially by modern day standards where it seems like, publishing houses give us shorter and shorter books. This is not the case. Her book is a massive compilation of all the tips, all the advice, everything you need to know if you've ever been in a friendship that ended badly or that is going poorly or that has hurt you in any way, shape, or form. Through this book Elizabeth hopes to minister to those who are experiencing this often undiagnosed, unrecognized grief of friendship loss or friendship breakup, as she calls it. There are difficult emotions that accompany friendship hardship. So, she and I talk about important things, like: -          friendship breakups: coping with loss and pain; -          healing and forgiveness: overcoming bitterness; -          Biblical wisdom: applying Scripture to relationships; -          trust and vulnerability: rebuilding connections; -          grieving and mourning: processing friendship loss; -          finding beauty in brokenness: embracing imperfections; -          prayer and guidance: seeking God's direction. Elizabeth acknowledges that the hardest part in navigating a friendship breakup is finding the right people to talk to about it. She acts as this one friend you need. She keeps you company. She points you to Gospel counsel as you navigate the loss of the friendship as it was. And then she offers wisdom for navigating future friendships after a loss because that's absolutely key. How do you even dare to open your heart again after it's been wounded? She is grounded in Scripture. She points to God's views on forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing after hurt. And then she gives us the best practical tools for navigating those conversations. How do you initiate a reconciliation conversation? What words can you use that are going to be most productive without escalating potential conflict? She is blending personal story, biblical examples, faith filled wisdom. I love all of the many, many interactions with Scripture that she gives us. She asks, how do we guard against the poison of bitterness so we can process the hurt and move forward? Elizabeth talks about when and how we can seek this reconciliation and what does look like. And this is anything but cliche. I promise you that. How do we know if the time has come to actually leave a friendship behind? How do we open up again and then trust our freshly wounded hearts to new friendships? Friendship loss is this unique kind of grief. It's a private and confusing kind of grief. And as we struggle to digest the pain and we wonder, how could this happen? What do I do now? Elizabeth is here to help hurting hearts find healing, find lessons to learn from the past, and stay open to new friendships in the future. Again, it's so full of hope. Some of the key advice I will remember from the book are, -          Learn to navigate and overcome the pain and challenges of friendship breakups with grace and biblical wisdom. -          Cultivate trust in relationships, acknowledging that past hurts can affect future connections but not define them. -          10. Find joy and hold onto positive memories even when some friendships can't be repaired, allowing healing to take place. -          Protect your heart in extreme friendship scenarios by seeking comfort in prayer and scripture. -          Give oneself permission to grieve and process the loss of friendships -          Seek beauty in broken friendships and adopt a more open-minded and accepting approach to making connections despite past hurts. -          Bring fears and insecurities to God as a source of courage and guidance in seeking and fostering friendships. -          Let God guide and protect in the process of building trust and forming meaningful connections. -          Look ahead to the eternal promise of friendships in heaven, where unity and safety abound. -          Reflect Jesus in current friendships and strive for unity, echoing His prayer for oneness in John 17. -          Categorize friendships and address potential misunderstandings by applying practical tips and Scripture. -          Understand and appreciate the concept of mismatched expectations in friendships to prevent conflicts and foster understanding. -          Seek divine guidance, wisdom, courage, and the capacity to love and care for others within friendships through prayer. -          Engage in the process of repairing broken relationships with humility, grace, and a desire for beauty in brokenness. -          Root out bitterness and unforgiveness from friendships, replacing them with prayer and forgiveness to facilitate reconciliation. -          Embrace the healing power of forgiveness and prayer, remembering that holding onto bitterness only causes further harm. -          Find comfort in God as the perfect friend and reflect His love and forgiveness in all friendships. -          Treasure and honor the meaningful memories made within brokenness, seeing them as precious testaments to the resilience of relationships. How would you describe the best leaders you have personally learned from? I think teachability, humility and a deep dependence on Christ would top my list. And therefore, To be a leader is to know how to go to the source to get replenished. To lead well, you need to go to the well yourself. Also, To be an effective Christian leader is to know that you can only lead well when you are led well. And then you go and reproduce in others what Jesus has done in you. In the words of Paul, you are able to say, "… what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2Timothy 2:2 – Paul describes 4 generations of leaders in this passage. Himself, Timothy, who leads others who then will lead others. When you drink from the leading well, you lead well. So, we invite you to join us on The Leading Well, a brand new leadership course by Gospel Spice Ministries. Details at https://www.gospelspice.com/leadership  To be a leader is to have a posture of the heart that is always thinking in terms of go, make, do. In the words of Jesus at the great commission, He calls us to GO to all the world, MAKE disciples and Do the things he has called us to do. Go, Make, Do. We see “the well” as a place of refreshing – for yourself but also so that you can bring refreshing through God's Word to others. We want to come alongside you and equip you with a blueprint to lead others well, in the context of your own life and calling – from small groups to one on one mentoring and much larger settings. So, we invite you to join us on The Leading Well. Drink from the well, and lead well. Welcome! Support us on Other, PayPal and Other!

Struggling with temptation? Jesus shows off His identity and power in our wilderness. That's out theme today. Welcome! Hello my friends! Stephanie here. It is so, so good to get ready to dive into another Bible lesson today. I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and for being a part of the Gospel Spice podcast family. Your enthusiasm and engagement mean the world to us! We have no small topic ahead of us! We are exploring the temptation of Jesus and how it relates to our own struggles with sin and temptation. Last week, we discussed the necessity of God's perfect justice and the problem his love presents. We discovered that there is no cutoff or grading system for entering heaven. Instead, God, in His love, came up with a solution through Jesus on the cross. Today, we'll examine Matthew 4, where Jesus faces temptation in the wilderness. We'll see how Jesus, fully God and fully man, withstands the pressure and inspires us to true obedience and surrender. We'll also uncover the significance of the number 40 in Scripture and the parallels between Jesus' experience and Israel's wilderness journey. Through Matthew's account, we will see how Satan cunningly approached Jesus, acknowledging him as the Son of God, but attempting to entice Jesus to use His powers for personal gain. Jesus, however, remained true to His heaven-born calling and responded with divine wisdom, quoting from the book of Deuteronomy to ward off Satan's attacks. Matthew emphasizes Jesus' obedience to the commandments of the Deuteronomic covenant, highlighting that Jesus succeeded where Israel consistently failed. This passage serves as a reminder that no human can attain the perfection of God's standards. Yet, in facing temptation head-on, Jesus demonstrates His unmatched loyalty to God and establishes Himself as the only Savior. I warmly encourage you to listen to the full episode, as we unpack the profound implications of Jesus' temptation and its relevance to our lives today. Whether you are currently facing your own season of weakness or seeking inspiration for true obedience, I pray that our time together today will provide valuable insights and practical application points. As a podcast that strives to bring you thought-provoking content and deep dives into the Gospel, we want to invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Share this episode with your friends and family, engage in conversations around the significance of temptation and obedience, and continue to seek the truth that sets us free. We here are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and cannot wait to embark on new explorations of the Gospel with you. So, grab your Bible and let's jump right in to this intriguing passage. Welcome to Gospel Spice. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit alongside Jesus and his initial audience? To experience the fresh spiritual flavors that the Messianic Jewish culture weaves into the four gospels? Well, that's exactly what we here aim to do through this original series, JESUS RABBI AND LORD. Stephanie invites you to dig deep into Scripture, unearthing raw diamonds that may need a little cleaning up, but will ultimately shine brightly. So get ready to embark on this enlightening and transformative journey with Gospel Spice. Prepare to encounter Jesus in a way that resonates with our modern world and discover the richness of the gospel through the lens of Jewish culture. Let's dig deep, uncover the hidden spices, and experience the beauty of the Scriptures together. Welcome to Gospel Spice!

We want to serve Christ-followers who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel. We want to love God, because He first loved us. We want to experience the fullness of life with Him—and not be content with stale, boring, leftover faith. Jesus tells us that the most important thing is to love the Lord our God, so we take Him seriously. He adds that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Now, there are many ways to do that, but I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – it is modern day slavery, and it revolts the heart of God. And so, they are our particular neighbors here at Gospel Spice. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.   Now we would love to invite you to join the team in one of three ways: 1, pray Gospel Spice forward – pray for our guests, our listeners and participants, and for us too! 2, play Gospel Spice forward by telling your friends about us, and by please leaving positive reviews and comments on your podcast listening app; and 3rd, PAY GospelSpice forward.

Your donation is fully tax-deductible in the US. Plus, once we cover our costs, a significant portion of your donation will be given back to Christian organizations that fight human trafficking, and that we vet thoroughly. So, you can know that every dime you give is used for the Kingdom of God. Every little bit helps. So, be part of the spice of the gospel by becoming a financial partner today!

Kishshana Palmer, the CEO of Managemint, Inc., brings her vibrant energy and thoughtful approach to leadership and work-life balance, highlighting this frothy discussion emphasizing the significance of self-care, fun, and personal growth in effective leadership. Her approach to addressing common challenges in the nonprofit sector and beyond offers a refreshing perspective on balancing work and life while achieving professional success. Cohost Julia Patrick starts by praising Kishshana on how she navigates important conversations in a world that has undergone significant changes due to the global health crisis, civil unrest, economic shifts, and demographic changes. She posed the age-old question: "Is it possible to lead well and live well?" Kishshana responds emphatically, stating, "It's the age-old question, and I'm going to have to give a resounding yes." She highlights the importance of self-care, drawing parallels between the feeling of well-being after self-indulgence (like a facial or deep cleaning) and the daily routines and rituals that can provide a sense of everyday luxury. She emphasized the need to prioritize oneself and treat oneself well to be an effective leader. The cohosts add in that being busy doesn't equate to productivity. Kishshana offers advice on breaking away from the constant grind, distractions, and deadlines that often overwhelm us, and introduces the concept of business being a trauma response, explaining that being busy can serve as a way to avoid dealing with personal issues. She stressed that slowing down and focusing on self-care is essential for effective leadership. The conversation then shifted towards creating a thriving team, pointing to the importance of modeling behavior and fostering a work environment that encourages both productivity and fun. Kishshana shares insights on how her company values fun, making laughter an integral part of their work culture, engaging managers to reward team members for bringing their personalities and interests into the workplace. The discussion also touches on the challenges of balancing work and personal life in a remote work environment. Kishshana outlines infusing creativity, fun, and play into remote team interactions, mentioning activities like book clubs, podcasts, and virtual lunch and learns, and reminding us that people have different energy needs.

Today's meditation touches on guidance for leading well. In God's kingdom, those who are willing to serve, who honor others, who are not intimidated by being kind and honest are great. Solomon said, Good leadership is built on love and truth. Transparency in intentions, compassion for others are the hallmarks of those who are willing to do what is right. Every time. Let these words of truth permeate your mind and heart and lead well in the role you have been placed. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the last of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today.  In this episode we speak to the power and impact of being a courageous leader, and revisit key points of the series. In today's episode, we discuss: Being decisive and courageous is imperative to good leadership. Take the time to draw clear lines for your business and your team. Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created. Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage. Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's performance. Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.
