Go HERE for Kim’s Catalyst West Recaps
My two favorite links were Crimmel and Tony Morgan Live.
Erwin’s talk at Catalyst West Coast continues to resonate.
Here were some of the insights:
“Dream = imagine a future worth pursuing, discover a dream that would make the world a better place”
“Wake up! Stop just doing the same things you have always done and change how you think and how you live!”
“When faced with a challenge, we can either adopt (quit), abdicate (become bitter), or adapt (overcome).”
“We cannot choose the context of our lives, but we can choose the content.”
“Adapting requires taking personal responsibility and having the humility to ask for help.”
“To change the current trajectory of our lives, we need to be be willing to do things we had previously seen as beneath us or beyond us.”
“What if we started a movement where everyone lived a heroic life?”
Carlos Awakens the Hero From Within (from the Mosaic Film Team)
Several speakers, musicians, Andy Stanley, Brad Lomenick, Ben Arment, and the Catalyst team created an experience to help leaders become more effective in creating a better future.
Thoughts from Andy Stanley:
“Uncertainty is why we need leaders.”
“I will always be uncertain. I am certain of it.”
“Because of uncertainty, we need clarity and adaptibility.”
“Leaders can be uncertain but never unclear. Plans change but vision remains the same.”
“Sacrifice the plans for the vision.”
“Clarity will give you the energy and momentum to get through uncertainty.”
“Uncertainty is a great time to change bad plans. Blame everything on the economy and make changes!”
“Be honest with your leaders and followers. Confidently express your uncertainty. “I don’t know right now, but we’re going to figure it out.”
“Seek counsel. Leadership isn’t about making decisions on your own, but owning decisions once they are made.”
