Hiring Practices

"I saw the virtue of integrating those same biblical principles into my employment practices. In a hiring interview I would emphasize how important a person's ethics were. I began to hire based on a person's values and trusted that the person would then be competent to do the job as their resume stated." ..... Larry Burkett in his book; Business by the Book

Are You Happy?

"In Matthew 16:26, the Bible says, "What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" The happiest people in the world today are those who are living in harmony with their innermost convictions and values." Brian Tracy in his book, GOALS!

Become the Legacy Leader God Created You To Be

John Maxwell's 25 Ways to Win with People:
20. Tell A Good Story - Paul (Acts 26:1-29)
In these verses Paul tells his story to King Agrippa because Paul has been jailed without charges. In the speech Paul makes he recounts where he came from as a Pharisee himself, his conversion and post-conversion life. Paul told his story and the story of Christ without fear. King Agrippa was so impressed with Paul's speech/story that he said in verse 28; "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."

Mike's Thoughts:
As a leader, it is important for me to model Paul whenever I speak, especially to groups. I need to speak with authority and have my facts straight and to speak the truth without fear.

Mike's Action Points:
1- Before I speak, I will pray for knowledge on the topic.
2- I will pray for courage to speak the truth without fear.
3- I will pray for wisdom on how to present the speech for the most positive
effect on my audience.
