When I look at the 25-, 30-, and 40-year-olds moving into leadership, I sense God showing me something: What if they had a 50-something walking alongside them?
When I began my own leadership journey in my 20's at Valley Christian, I had a father and five older brothers in leadership. At Northwestern College, I had two 50-year-old assistant coaches walking alongside me.
As I slow things down in my mind and reflect, I find myself asking, “What would my life and leadership have looked like without those seasoned leaders?”
In this next chapter, I want to do for today’s young leaders what those mentors did for me. I want to help guard them from mistakes I made and pass on the things I’m grateful to have learned, stuck with, and focused on.
What do I have to offer head coaches and established leaders?
