We are very blessed to have the privilege to gather in person in WA. We are using that opportunity to invite all WA FLAME members to come together for our National FLAME event. It will be an exciting morning of networking and sitting in on the online event together over morning tea!
If you are unable to attend in person but would still like to join us online, you can register for the Zoom event here.
What does God require of you? We are all unique and no two leaders are the same in personality and leadership style, but we are all called to mature in our relationship with God, lead and serve others.
What is holding you back from taking on leadership challenges? Comparing yourself with successful leaders can cripple capacity to recognise your gifts and abilities and stifle the courage to step up.
This session will inspire you to connect, collaborate, invite feedback, reflect on and accept the truth about your leadership potential that others see in you. Let your emotional and strategic intelligence ‘fuse’ to be the leader that God created and called you to be.
Event Information
This session will encourage you to own God’s calling on your life, lead from your God-given strengths and ponder on some big questions!
- Reflect on the people and situations where you have been an influence?
- What is your biggest barrier to becoming a senior leader or developing your leadership?
- What worries you and how can you work through the issues?
- Think for a moment about the positive and negative impact your current leadership role has on your work and family relationships.
- What can you and should you let go of in order to get more headspace?
May God bless you as you press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus has called you. Philippians 3:12
