I hope you are inspired by my leadership story! I think there are many young women out there who can relate to my story of believing lies about themselves and being “held back” by lack of confidence and fear. I know men struggle with this too, but for women research shows it is a more […]
Reading Robert Browning’s excerpt in Part 9 of Light from Many Lamps was very inspiring. Browning states, “Live and learn, he advises the young man. Use the gifts God gave you, and make the most of your life. But remember that youth shows but half, that God’s perfect plan includes the whole of life. See […]
This course has been a very formative experience for me, it was challenging to balance everything I had going on in my personal life and ministry, as there were some unexpected things that came up. I am thankful for how my participation in this course, while leading out in a ministry, forced me prioritize my […]
According to Malgeri (2010), “Foresight is defined as the ability to develop and maintain a forward-looking perspective and to anticipate emerging opportunities and problems by continually scanning the environment for trends and new developments” (p. 39). I would like to briefly analyze how Canada Post has used foresight based on a discussion paper posted on […]

DawnES (2018) stated in summary of Loomis’ reflection, “In reflection on his deathbed, Dr. […]
In taking the “Gender-Leader Implicit Association” test in Northouse Chapter 15 and reading through the Catalyst (2016) report for inclusion ideas I recognized that my profession of campus chaplaincy tends to be “female-dominated.” This is reflected in the greater amount of women on my staff team in comparison to men. Currently on the team I co-lead, we […]
In Case study 15.1, we are introduced to Lisa Weber (Northouse, 2018, p 417). Lisa has the following distinctions and attributes: high qualifications, quality work ethic, brings in notable profit, is a team player and is well-regarded by colleagues, supervisors and clients. (Northouse, 2018, p 417). On paper, there seem to be no barriers to […]
Sir William Osler stated, “Live for the day only, and for the day’s work…the chief worries of life arise from the foolish habit of looking before and after” (Watson, 1951, p. 214). I agree that living for “the day only and the day’s work” is incredibly important in leadership (Watson, 1951, p. 214). There is […]
A Snapshot of D’s Story I had the privilege of interviewing “D” this last week. D is an associate pastor at a non-denominational church in Vancouver. It was wonderful getting to know her and hearing her story of how she became ordained as a minister. D, started her career as a structural engineer and did […]
