  • Value, Identity, and Purpose

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lt. Tim Chancellor wraps up Season 1 by helping us wrestle with the ideas of Value, Identity, and Purpose.  He shares his own personal story of how an incorrect understanding of ourselves can affect those closest to us.  The discussion ends with how we can build a strong foundation to help us live, love, and lead those with whom we have interaction, influence, and impact.  

    Tim started "Serve is a Verb" to pass on leadership experience to emerging leaders.  Many of the lessons he learned were through trial and error.  He learned success comes from learning from those around him and being mentored by others.  He desires to share the wisdom he learned so others can avoid the same potholes and obstacles he faced in his ongoing leadership journey.
