Whenever I think of leadership, I am not thinking about the position; I am thinking about the person. In reality, I am thinking about you. 

We may never lead thousands, hundreds, or even tens of people in our lives, and that's alright. In fact, most of us never will, and even if we do eventually, we don't start there either. We start by leading ourselves. After all, no one wants to be led by you if, when they look at you, they are not convinced of the job you are doing of leading yourself.

My heart is to help raise and resource leaders. To help leaders grasp a greater understanding of what it means to lead.

The privilege. The joy. The frustrations. The responsibility. The loneliness. The journey. The becoming. The kayers. The reality. The honesty. The success. The failure. The never-ending learning life of a leader.

Leading well in life sets you up. Not necessarily for greatness, in the sense of having your name in lights, or being recognised in the streets or other measures of fame. Leading well in life sets you up for success in different ways.

"In the ordinariness of consistently making the right choices, you discover the opportunity to lead"

What we may despise as small and insignificant, others will respect and consider noteworthy.

If we can learn to lead well in life, then we are better placed to lead and influence others wherever we find ourselves.

If we can learn to lead well in life, then we will recognise that where we are is the right place for us to be, the place where God wants us to be.

If we can learn to lead well in life, then we will learn to never dismiss the opportunities which are right in front of us. We don't take them based on size or outcome; we take them because we can.

If we can learn to lead well in life, then we will become the people of God who can discover the spiritual in the ordinary, everyday aspects of life.

If we can learn to lead well in life, then we position ourselves to be people who God can use to build His kingdom and make a difference for Him.
