CONFLICT
Every person at some point in their life crosses paths with conflict. The problem is when we do have conflict, we don't deal with it in hopes it will just disappear. Ignoring conflict won't solve any issue or make it go away. So, if you have a conflict with someone make it a point to address them and try to see the bigger picture!


That Thing We Try to Avoid
No one likes confrontation. Just the thought of confronting someone can cause us anxiety. Being confronted isn’t any better. Sometimes, it might even be worse. But when it’s done right—with the right intentions—confrontation can be helpful.

Here’s What Draws People to You
Enjoy Your Life = Engaging people are fun to be around. They enjoy their life and are always thinking about others. Their enjoyment of life makes them fun, and thinking of others helps them connect. Do you engage with the people in your life?


The Future of Business: Start a Conversation with Your Customers
Customers Are The Heroes = There is a difference between customer service (reactive) and customer engagement (proactive). Customer Engagement takes place when companies have a dialogue with their customers, communicating with the people they are trying to serve and add value to. The future of business is engaging with customers, letting them know they are seen.



The first step in being an engaging leader is to engage with people. Be a friend, a listening ear, and an encourager and watch your following grow!


You must first create a strong foundation so that in return, people trust you and are engaged in what you're discussing. From there, people will want to follow you!

Authenticity Quotes

Quotes About Authenticity / Genuine

  • Authenticity is being what you seem and saying what you mean.
  • Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. --Judy Garland
  • Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet - thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust. --Lance Secretan
  • Authentic values are those by which a life can be lived, which can form a people that produces great deeds and thoughts. --Allan Bloom, American Philosopher (1930-1992)
  • Authentic faith cannot help but act. --Beth Moore
  • Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. --Mother Teresa
  • We think sometimes we're only drawn to the good, but we're actually drawn to the authentic. We like people who are real more than those who hide their true selves under layers of artificial niceties. --Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
  



Can You Admit Problems Exist? | MWM
Authenticity Is The Hallmark of Resilience = Don't pretend, don’t defend. Authenticity is a hallmark of resilience. If you can be authentic and admit problems exist, you can conquer what you are willing to confront.



How Many Leaders You Know of Are Authentic? | MWM
Be Real And Honest = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders are able to embrace authenticity. They admit mistakes, apologize, and are real and honest with others. Authenticity doesn't guarantee success, but lack of authenticity does guarantee failure.  
#Authenticity



The Starting Point of Authenticity



What Jamie Kern Lima Says About Authenticity
Be Real, Be honest, Be You = Being authentic doesn’t guarantee success, but if you lack authenticity it does guarantee failure. Authentic leaders—those who are real, honest, vulnerable, and open—foster confidence, and a sense of security and safety in those they lead. This is because others know that they understand who they are and are comfortable in their own skin. Authenticity is being the very best person you can be, while also being yourself.

Difficult Now is Better Than Difficult Later | MWM
Have The Courage To Do Hard Things = Most leadership breakdowns aren't about processes, they are about people. Leaders must have hard conversations with people now to avoid breakdowns later. By having the courage to do the hard work up front, it is easier later on.



The Triumph Over Fear - People don't follow titles, they follow courage. No matter what the outcome, unknown, or fear, you do it courageously. Take action, today!

What Change is Born From
https://youtu.be/Qh04oZUuNSo
Have Hope For Change = John Maxwell begins his book, Change Your World, with the statement, “Hope has two daughters, anger and courage.” Anger at how things currently are, and courage to go make a difference. That is how we can change our world. 
We need to be angry about the unfair, injustices of the world. The things that won’t improve unless we are angry enough to do something about them. We need courage to stand up, declare that we want to make a difference, and do something about the issues. 
It is important to understand that before we can change our world, we have to change ourselves. Transformation doesn’t begin with others, it begins with yourself. The moment we make good decisions, embrace good values, and do our part to make a difference, we are able to help others make a difference also.

Faith enough to make real the things of God.
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Faith
Do you have faith in the future? Take a look at your journey, are you currently stuck in your "comfort zone" or are you living in the "faith zone?" Do yourself a favor, join the faith zone! As John says, things can happen that would have never happened if you didn't change the zone you were living in.

Be God-Centered = You can parent with purpose by teaching your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him. As parents we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

Have Faith = It is important for us to have a good relationship with God and to know Him, to be able to communicate with Him, and have a sense of Him working and living in our lives. We have to be that example. He is the source. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

You wake up and have a choice, you are either going to fear the day ahead or you are going to have faith that it will be a great day. How the day goes is determined by what emotions you embrace. So ignore the negativity and instead, feed your faith!

James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.
Matthew 17:20 (MSG) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”
James 2:18 (MSG) I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.
Luke 17:6 (MSG) But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.
2 Corinthians 1:24 (MSG) We’re not in charge of how you live out the faith, looking over your shoulders, suspiciously critical. We’re partners, working alongside you, joyfully expectant. I know that you stand by your own faith, not by ours.
Luke 17:5 (MSG) The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”
Galatians 3:12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...
