My background and current work is in research. My area of focus ranges from business to policy to peace-building. I am adventurous and passionate about life, God and the responsibilities He has blessed me with as a father and a husband. That said, I have three children and been married for the last ten years and have known my wife for a little under eighteen years.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I am taking the MA Lead is because I want to become a stronger servant leader in the societies where God has called me to serve. Loyalty, humility and integrity are very important to me and they are the core of my beliefs. I have worked in the strategic engagement and strategic communication departments of one of most recent organizations I\u2019ve worked for, and advised on the organization\u2019s short- and long-term strategies and goals. I\u2019m interested in using my past experience in strategy development and strategic thinking to sharpen my new learning in this course.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to getting to know you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, My name is David.\u00a0 I have been living and working in the Middle-East for the last three years.&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/2018\/09\/26\/intro-blog-post-1\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Intro &#8211; Blog Post 1<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1000,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,98,96,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-non-profit","category-business-stream","category-hi","category-ldrs501"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1000"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":258,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254\/revisions\/258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/zportfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
