Sacrifice is a growth superfood. Doing without, values motivated, daily grind, future focused. Greatness by choosing to loose, give— a road less traveled. (Rom. 12:1-2) #madeforadventure #strong #sacrifice #transform #grow Cincinnati YMCA Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

So much learning and discussion at the YNAN conference. Theme #HOPE&VISION!

Leaders advance a kingdom: a home, a team, a department, a business, a municipality. Because we all have gifts we are ALL called to lead. Step one: own your authority. #grace #madeforadventure #strong #joy #transform #grow Cincinnati YMCA Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurchm

For leaders, tis the season to fight off our inner Grinch/Scrooge and reflect joy and hope. To be transformed by the power of love. To remind our teams of a hopeful future! #grace #madeforadventure #christmas #joy #transform #grow Cincinnati YMCA Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

Christmas is about “belonging”. Misfits finding a home for their skills, talents, & experiences are welcomed (1 Pet. 2:10). Leaders can remind their teams how they fit in! #grace #madeforadventure #christmas #joy #transform Cincinnati YMCA Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

Without VISION resolutions die. Vision is anchored with purpose-driven emotion, a long-game mindset, an action-based plan, an endurance-focused grit, and an explosive launch (GO!). #madeforadventure #newyear #joy #transform #grow YMCA of Greater Cincinnati Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

Transformational vision needs Transformational plans. T Plans are rooted in REALITY, strengthened with RELATIONSHIPS, sustained by RESILIENCE, and centered by REJOICING- (Jer. 29:11) #grace #madeforadventure #joy #transform #grow Cincinnati YMCA Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

A successful vision is often focused on, for, and by people: shared vision includes a work MIND, HUMILITY to follow, COMMUNAL selfishness, SURPLUS value, and a willingness to be EXPENDABLE. #vision #madeforadventure #joy #grow YMCA of Greater Cincinnati Y Staff & Volunteers @crdschurch

Disruptive visions will face criticism. Stay the course, manage through chaos, expect misunderstandings, outweigh negativity with joy, process your fears, and keep moving forward. #Vision #MadeForAdventure #NewYear #Joy #Transform #Grow YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

Super Bowl time! A reminder of the long game—persevering with our eyes on the prize. In a time that prioritizes instant gratification, it reminds us to be persistent and to hold on. (1Tim 6:12). #MadeForAdventure #Joy #Transform #Grow YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

Leadership’s dichotomies: stepping both forward and back, balancing accountability with love, and mixing direction with creativity— is all about being grounded a shared purpose. #TrueGreatness #MadeForAdventure #Transform #Grow YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

Leadership is long-term resilience & determination. It's standing strong against resistance and obstacles until the goal is reached. Leaders sow, battle, and train, for future victories. (2 Tim. 4:5-8) #MadeForAdventure #Persist YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

How do we weather unplanned storms? RECOGNIZE past patterns: accept change and disruptions as normal. UNDERSTAND present lies: Combat fear, doubt, and shame. CLARIFY future purpose: Balance with faith, love, and trust. #Transform YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

We crave likes, but is it enough? Social media taps into this, yet 67% of us feel worse after engaging. Maybe it’s because we’re substituting “likes” for love. True acceptance comes from sharing love, not clicks. #Vision #Transform YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch

Fulfillment for leaders isn’t in paychecks or praise but in aligning with #purpose. When we focus on lasting values, we lead authentically and nourish the soul. It's about where we find meaning. Drink from the right well (Jn 7:38) YMCA of Greater Cincinnati @LivingOurCause @crdshurch
