Leadership growth doesn’t happen in isolation. While experience and education are valuable, one of the most powerful drivers of professional development is networking. Building genuine connections with other leaders, peers, and industry professionals provides opportunities to exchange ideas, gain fresh perspectives, and challenge the way you approach decision-making. Networking isn’t just about meeting people — it’s about creating relationships that expand your thinking and s

“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:   So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” ~ Isaiah 55:10-11 One thing I love to do is walk outdoors while it’s drizzling. Somethin

Let me start with this: I don’t hate my job. In fact, I genuinely enjoy bookkeeping. I like making sense of things that feel messy. I like systems, clean records, and knowing that the work I do helps keep a business steady and compliant. Bookkeeping gives me a quiet sense of accomplishment—especially when everything finally ties out. But even work you enjoy can feel heavy in certain seasons. And caring for a newborn while showing up consistently at work is one of those s

“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: and I have filled him with the spirit of God…” Exodus 31:1-2, KJV In church this month, my class has been going through the book of Exodus. Exodus is a rich and wonderful book, full of miracles, wonders, rules, revelations, and God’s will for the young nation of Israel made manifest. In the passage I quoted though, there is a peculiar thing. Th

Having done multiple assessments for personal and professional development, I typically can determine pretty quickly what I am when I look at a new assessment. I did the Working Genius (WG) Assessment and surprisingly, I couldn’t just pick out what was me, instead it was enlightening. I believe it was so because of the way this assessment breaks down the areas in which I thrive and those in which I do not. Most people can work in multiple areas. If they can do the job/task,

Leaving college and starting a first job is a hard transition. For me, it is especially challenging because I spent the better part of the last four years in a different state away from home, and now I’m back at home but away from my friends. I miss the pace of life – going from classes to lunch with different friends to extracurriculars to spending my evenings in the dorm with the community I built. The excitement of starting a career comes with the loss of the rhythms and r

Artificial intelligence has risen so extremely fast over the last couple of years. Its revolutionary power will likely make it the technology that defines my lifetime, just like the creation of the internet or cars defined previous generations. It is still unclear how powerful the technology will be and how it will shape our lives, but the potential is definitely both exciting and frightening. I wanted to highlight a couple of ways that AI has impacted my life as a recent col

We all want goodness in life; it is human nature. Most of the time, especially in my case, it is hard to have patience for goodness to happen. It is easy to get impatient and try to force something that isn’t meant to be, yet . In today’s society, patience has become less common because of the ways that inventions have spoiled us. For example, on Amazon you can buy anything, and in some cases, can come to you on the same day! These sorts of things lead us (especially me) away

Have you ever worked with people who seem to have an agenda that’s different from what they were hired to do? “Having an agenda” is usually perceived negatively, implying a hidden or self-serving motive. This individual does not appear interested in supporting efforts to build a successful team. Their focus seems to be primarily on themselves and their image rather than on the collective goals of the company’s success. Before I continue, I’ll acknowledge that all of us, inclu

People make New Year’s resolutions for many reasons, but mine are always grounded in self-improvement through reflection on past shortcomings. This year, I want to approach the New Year biblically—focusing on reflection, repentance, renewal, and rededication by remembering God’s faithfulness, confessing sin, recommitting to His Word and prayer, and setting eternal goals. Rather than pursuing merely worldly resolutions, I choose to trust in His guidance (Proverbs 3:5–6) and re
