Maximizers #6: “What Kind of Game are You Playing?”

In many of the games we’re familiar with in life, there are winners and there are losers- but that’s not all.  Understanding what type of game you’re playing can have a crucial impact with your clients, your co-workers, and in your families.  David Dickinson explores the two types of games we play in Maximizers #6.

 

Maximizers #5: A Simple Truth a Day- Matt Meyer

One simple Truth, one simple reminder every day can help us stay “dialed in” on our purpose and in our relationships at work and in life.  Matt Meyer discusses the importance of one simple Truth and shifting knowledge to actual application:

How could one simple Truth impact your interactions today like:  James 1: 19   My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry…

Truth, like paint in a can- it’s value is in the application…  What is it you’re dropping into your mind everyday?  How is it playing out?  Does it move you to temporary goals or eternal goals?

Maximizers #4: David Dickinson on Confidence

David Dickinson leads Maximizers #4 as he discusses Confidence.  What shakes your confidence?  When do you have confidence as a leader and how do you maintain it?  As leaders of people, confidence matters.  Watch the discussion here:

Join us live Friday mornings at 6:15 AM in Mishawaka, IN or keep up with the video posts here.  If you’re in another community, how is Faith and Business colliding where you are?  How is your leadership in business impacting your influence in your city?

 

Good Things Should Happen to Good People… Right?

I wanted predictability in my life.  If I do my part and do “good things”, God will do His part and my life will be blessed right?  My business will thrive, my family will be healthy, and I’ll live a long prosperous life.. right?  A + B should = C and good things should happen to good people.

So God, what’s the deal?  Have you ever been frustrated with the lack of success in your life?  Here is the Maximizers session from September 9th:

Week 2 Maximizers: Branding and Expectations

What are a few descriptive words you would like your organization to be known for? What are you known for? In an era of lots of promises and lackluster delivery, Butch Whitmire visits branding and how it relates to your organization and client expectations.

For organization leaders in Michiana, Maximizers meets 6:15-7:30 AM every Friday morning at the Mutual Bank Building in Edison Lakes Plaza.  Feel free to simply show up and/or share this content at will- have a great week!

Maximizers August 26, 2011 “Where Faith and Business Collides”

 In case you missed it this past Friday, here is the video of our kick-off of Maximizers, where business leaders meet to discuss how to flex Faith, values, excellence, best practices and more in our community.

This week, September 2, Butch Whitmire will be leading the discussion.  Join us here at 6:15 AM:  View Larger Map

If we believe what we believe, our Faith changes everything and gives us the opportunity to bring excellence to the workplace.  Join the discussion!

Where Faith & Business Collides

What does your Faith look like in the workplace?  How does the vision of your business have anything to do with your Faith?  Our culture would say these two need to be separated (in their own little boxes).  Our culture wants our Faith to be private.  It’s politically correct to be Faith neutral and stick to business…. Really?

Our culture says the church should be a building, our businesses should make a profit, and our purpose is to do what feels good to you….  How’s that working for us?

The church is muted, businesses are generally only focused on profits, organizations all over our communities are trying to get their voice heard to little avail, our schools our failing, and efforts are splintered and siloed.  Marriages are ending half the time, the world is restless with the financial markets, our faith in government is near all-time lows, and the finger is pointed everywhere.

Enough.  We are called to more and we are going to engage our communities.

Beginning Friday, August 26th at 6:15 AM, you are invited to meet with other business leaders to begin to connect the dots of how Faith and Business can (and will) collide.  We’ll learn business practices from other leaders in our community, we’ll learn about organizations making a difference in our cities, we’ll hear from leaders on how they’re working to integrate Faith in their workplace, and we’ll begin to connect relationally and strategically to change this Michiana community.  As Steven Furtick said, it’s time to start digging ditches for our cities.

Gosh that’s early. Yep. That’s what coffee’s for.

Where are we meeting?  Mutual Bank Building, Edison Lakes on the corner of Day and Edison Lakes Parkway (someone will help with directing you when you come in)
