The Global Leadership Summit

My husband and I participated in Day 1 of an amazing event today, The Global Leadership Summit.  This is an event put on by Willow Creek Ministries and approximately 150,000 around the world with a part of today's event with satellite branches set up all over the world.  I attached some of my notes taken (with my handy dandy ipad).  it may seen like gibberish to those who weren't there, but I am basically posting these for brief ideas and so I can look back and reflect on ideas at a later date.  I would love the opportunity to share EVERYTHING about this conference so if you're interested in coffee or a chat (or coffee ...did I say that already?) I would love to go into more detail with you-just look me up.  The best part?-Day 2 starts at 9am tomorrow and I can't wait to be inspired some more. (follow event on twitter at #wcagls)
Number one take-away from the conference today?  "Failure doesn't mean game over, it means that you continue on with experience!...also, if you are looking to make change in your church or spiritual life (or work life for that matter) read, study, and re-read and study the book of Acts.

Session 2: Len (pen pg 15)

Don't focus what you want to do, focus on what you want to do next (yoga)

Failure doesn't mean game over it means to continue with experience

Everyone is a part of a "tribe" -what's yours? (ie. red hat)
