Are these important questions? Let’s consider these are the most important questions you will face in the next year. The answers to these questions will determine your life’s direction for 10-15 years. Consider this… How you answer these questions will influence how you live tomorrow, what degree you graduate with, what relationships you decide to pursue, where you choose to live, what career you begin, and whom you will influence. Sign up today!

LI3_ is a start, a jumping off point where we will ask these questions.

LI3_ will also address how the answers will impact you as a person of influence.

LI3_ will, hopefully, be the beginning of a personal transformation as an individual, a disciple of Christ, and as a leader making an impact in God’s kingdom.

Week 1-Oct 27: Why do we need to serve before we lead?

  • This entire session will be devoted to teaching and applying Strengths Finder.

Week 3-Nov 10: What is your place among others?

  • Assessment: Myers-Briggs Indicator Type II
