Relationships matter in any organization. Do we take the initiative to make them a priority in even small ways? In today’s podcast, we hear from former Wright State University Athletic Director, Bob Grant, and the lessons he learned around how simple relationships make a difference.

Bob served voluntarily and on staff for 30-plus years at Wright State University with the last 16 years as the Athletic Director. Wright State University is located in Dayton, Ohio just a few minutes away from our Beavercreek Campus. Bob’s leadership in the community over the years has not only impacted this region, but he has shared his leadership lessons with our leaders at Be Hope and we’re excited to hear from him again.

Key Takeaways:

Leading through relationships needs to be intentional.

Relationships building doesn’t have to be big. Something seemingly small may have a great impact.

Success begins from a positive mindset.

Longevity allows for stronger and deeper relationships.

Make yourself visible, available, and positive in order to build relationships with your team and organization.

Prayer is an important component to guiding big decisions.

A personal routine allows for a clear mind and conscious to lead at a higher level.

It’s the unique role of the leader to see what ahead.

The longterm risk of moving forward outweighs the choice to be complacent and comfortable.

Especially in transition; leaders need to maintain the values, system, and culture for the organization to thrive.

The growth capacity of the organization stops at the growth capacity of the leader.

Boundaries. Apparently we all need them. After our last podcast we found that we all need to create boundaries to live into our purpose. In today’s podcast, we revisit our conversation with Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Becky Brown, about how important boundaries are and ways to set better boundaries for success in our lives.

Becky has been with New Life Ministries for over 20 years. She began her work with New Life Clinics in private practice and was part of the Counselor network from its beginning. Becky has worked at the New Life Workshops since 2003. Becky is the co-author of Understanding and Loving a Person with Bipolar Disorder, 100 Days to Freedom from Fear and Anxiety and 100 Days to Freedom from Anger. Becky is also a co-producer and writer for Life Recovery Today TV.

Main Idea:

Balance is not a permanent state of mind.

You’re building your life story with what you participate in.

How to Create Boundaries

1. Define your lines. Know what you do and do not value.

2. Ask yourself, “Who do you want to be?”

3. Create a life plan.

4. Set small boundaries.

5. Practice setting boundaries by saying, “No,” to small things.

You may have a boundary problem if you:

1. Feel overwhelmed.

2. Feel resentful.

Boundaries. Who needs them? We all need boundaries if we want to lead at our full capacity and focus on moving the mission forward. In today’s podcast, we talk with Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Becky Brown, about how important boundaries are and ways to set better boundaries for success in our lives. 

Becky has been with New Life Ministries for over 20 years. She began her work with New Life Clinics in private practice and was part of the Counselor network from its beginning. Becky has worked at the New Life Workshops since 2003. Becky is the co-author of Understanding and Loving a Person with Bipolar Disorder, 100 Days to Freedom from Fear and Anxiety and 100 Days to Freedom from Anger. Becky is also a co-producer and writer for Life Recovery Today TV.

MAIN IDEA: 

What is a boundary?

Boundaries are a defining line.

Boundaries are like a fence.

Boundaries allow us to live out of responsibility and not reactivity. 

Other’s feelings aren’t for you to own.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

When we have boundaries that are being crossed, we begin to live in reactivity. 

Living in reactivity takes us away from living within our motivations.

Through our boundaries, we teach people how to treat us.

You need boundaries when you feel someone is taking over you.

Some examples of boundaries: Gifts, talents, skills, time, space, and values.

Red Flags when missing boundaries:

Abuse.

Neglect.

Diminished value.

Lack of worth.

No agency for yourself.

Resentment.

Bitterness.

WHAT IS AT STAKE?

Without boundaries, we become distracted by caring for others above ourselves and we miss out on living within our purpose.

Have you ever reached the end of the day and you feel defeated? Or have you ever found yourself saying, “What did I do today?” We get so wrapped up in our to-do list, we forget how our activity comes from our values. In this episode, we talk about how our values are a foundation to the decisions we make as leaders and how they impact our own lives, the team, and the organization.

MAIN IDEA:

To evaluate your values, you need to have values.

Values are guiding principles that determine desired outcomes in life; based upon identity.

Values are the DO because of WHO.

You must have core convictions.

Develop identity statements to give you direction.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

We become busy with meetings that don’t connect to our values.

We add to our schedule because people demand it, not because we are convicted about it.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

We must live into the person God has called us to be.

WHAT CAN WE DO?



* Morning Review



* Start the day with purpose.

* Re-orient your schedule.

* Add meaning to your meetings.

* Remind yourself of your purpose.





* Evening Evaluation



* Know when you are winning.

* Identify areas of improvement.

* Ask: “Am I actually living into the person God has called me to be?”

Are you sweating the fact you’ve failed to set goals for this year? Goals are important, but there are some big buts to setting them. Don’t fall into the trap of setting goals when you’re in a busy or stressful season. This episode, we talk about how to create the best environment for goal-setting for you to truly succeed in achieving them.

Goals are great! Goals will:



Increase productivity

Provide motivation

Extend clarity and focus

Create accountability

Prioritize your time

Shape your identity



WHAT’S AT STAKE





Goal setting is right, but not in the wrong season.

Goal setting is important,  but not when arbitrary becomes the substitute for specific.





WHAT CAN WE DO? 



GIVE IT TIME (GET AWAY) Don’t give it more time to sit on the back burner, but mark a place on your calendar a place where you do your best thinking. 

GIVE IT ATTENTION (ASSESS)

GIVE IT TOOLS
