I know many of you are enjoying a long holiday weekend, so I promise this will be short. Be prepared to engage your senses. Close your eyes and imagine and imagine one of the following: Your first dorm room or apartment. Walking on a beach on a warm sunny day. Riding on a motorcycle or in a convertible with top down on a beautiful road. A stroll on a forest path with light shining through the trees and the sounds of birds singing.

A Leader's Vocabulary I was talking with someone about the early days of church planting before anyone was on our team. We had not yet officially formed a core group, the initial staff members had not yet committed. As I told my personal story, I kept using words such as “our” and “we” Towards the middle of the conversation the person stopped me and asked, “Who’s ‘we’?

"Perceptive listening requires you to be totally focused, completely mindful, and perceptive of the conversation -- about what is spoken and what remains unspoken," explains John Jantsch , author of the book, Duct Tape Selling. He adds, "Perceptive listening reveals things that a distracted or even mostly active conversation can't reveal." To be a perceptive listener , ensure you hear and interpret the words as they're said, and also consider what the person isn't saying.

I used to be the prototypical young mathphobe: I flunked or barely passed any math course I was forced to orbit. For me, graduating from high school was thrilling in that I would never have to touch a math or science book again. Math not only didn’t make sense but was also worthless and painfully frustrating; the same went for technology.
