Last week I was an attender at a conference that our association helps to locally co-sponsor along with one of our churches. Each year at this conference I experience an influx of new information, challenging thoughts, and a plethora of possible actions. It serves as both a "wake up" and a "challenge" for how much more there is to learn and of the great and noble deeds that need to be done.
In the next few days I will begin to process some of the specific thoughts. For today I will simply mention a few of the resources that I will be exploring over the next several weeks:
Books
Wess Stafford - President of Compassion International
Too Small to Ignore
David Gergen - CNN Political Analyst and Adviser to 4 Presidents
Eyewitness to Power
Timothy Keller - Presbyterian Minister in New York City
The Prodigal God
Gary Hamel - Director Management Innovation Labs
The Future of Management
Website
Jessica Jackley - Founder of Kiva - online peer to peer microlending

The list is not long - YET! But, like most forms of education, one source or resource leads to another which leads to another. There is always more to learn, and as one learns, there is always more to do. Setting priorities and developing accountability all tie in here but those are topics for another day along with several others. Today - I will review my notes, decipher my poor excuse for handwriting, and prioritize my new resources (and the ones that I will order).
