I think I've always been passionate about seeing lives change. Today I got to see seven friends graduate from a program that raises up leaders. Leaders in business, leaders in families, leaders in life. It unveils a new perspective of life. I purposely say "of life." It's bigger than "in life." It's a global perspective of passion, drive, integrity and grit. Two and a half days of being raw, being real, digging down deep to discover and unleash the champion within.
Mick and I had the privilege of sponsoring 4 people in this months training. Two are leaders in ministry. Young men who God placed on our hearts to invest in. It was God saying, "I have plans for these men but I need more. I need them to be the best that they can be. I'll provide the way, you get them there.' So we did. And they did. And God did.
We also sponsored two of our "kids." These were of course young adults from our growth group. It's hard to explain the feeling I have watching them go through something so foundational for the rest of their lives. To step out empowered, courageous and focused. Focused on being the best they can be. To be in the top 3%, to be a champion in all they do. Lives changed. Legacies changed. Oh the places they will go.
So 15 new graduates from BOLD: Advanced Leadership unleashed on the world. Impact. It's hard to explain what's it's like to go through. It's just as hard to express the feeling of pride seeing people you care about experience the process and become better versions of themselves. God is on the move!
Congratulations!! ;) I do understand that feeling of watching our "kids" succeed and grow .. and be world changers!! What a blessing God would use 'even me' to pour into his children!
ReplyDeleteDeb what is this BOLD program you refer too in your last couple posts?
BOLD: Advanced Leadership by Driven for Life. It is an intense, 30-hour training, specifically designed to take professionals from where they are to where they want to be in the shortest amount of time. Bold: Advanced Leadership takes each person out of their comfort zone and gets them to perform at a new level. It challenging even the most senior professionals to reach for higher ground while pulling the less experienced to start at a high level. It's a hand-on, dive in deep experiential training. Instead of sitting in a room taking notes for three days, you are immersed in working on yourself. The reason this training works so well is because of the intense experience. When each student expands what they are comfortable with, addresses the fears and mental games that hold them back from success, they emerge into a completely new realm of ability. It ROCKS your world. It's not cheap, but every person I know who has gone thru it says they would write the check a second time in a flat minute. Personally, I'd pay double without a thought.
