Women in Leadership: The importance of knowing your gifting and trusting the process. Also, how to stay impactful by exploring new opportunities and seeing the doors that God is opening.

Setting and Maintaining Career Boundaries: We discuss practical tips for staying within the boundaries given to us and working hard at our responsibilities. By doing this, we can leave work knowing that we gave everything to the tasks at hand and trust that God will take care of the rest. 

Pitching Ideas to a Team: Kadi shares practical tips for pitching ideas to a team, finding out what people are struggling with, and understanding if our idea solves a problem. Kadi also talks about the importance of coming to a meeting prepared and how good ideas get listened to when we do the pre-work.

Friends, this is a power-packed episode! By surrendering to God’s plan for your leadership, maximizing opportunities, and embracing your giftedness, you can become an effective leader who inspires and impacts others. Be open to new challenges and opportunities, even when you don’t know what you’re doing.

If you find yourself struggling for significance, searching for your purpose, or need a reminder of your worth in God’s eyes, then this episode of the She Impacts Culture podcast is for you! It’s all about the journey to significance.

Through sharing her story, Rachael Adams, author, speaker, and host of The Love Offering podcast, reminds us that God has a specific plan for each of our lives, regardless of our background, upbringing, or past limitations. 

Rachael recounts her youthful dream to become a broadcast journalist, which she eventually gave up due to her fear of public speaking. Yet, many years later, she realized that God had uniquely fulfilled her dream, inspiring us to never give up on our own dreams and to trust God’s plan for us. Rachael also shares the importance of staying focused on our own path and not being sidetracked by life’s distractions. 

No matter our situation, there is always a role for us to play in God’s Kingdom. Every action, no matter how small, holds significance and value in the eyes of God. Whether it’s sharing the Gospel, volunteering, leading a business, or even just smiling at someone, each act has an impact and is valuable in God’s sight.

No matter the season you find yourself in, this episode reminds us that it’s not what we do that makes life significant, but rather, it’s about having God in it all. 

May this episode inspire you to live a life of significance, even in the most ordinary moments.

I've been thinking A LOT about the changing landscape of work. And here's what I wholeheartedly believe: If you want to stay competitive in the marketplace, you must think and act like an entrepreneur. The future of work is all about intrapreneurship. 

What is intrapreneurship? It’s taking entrepreneurial ideas and initiative within your workplace to drive innovation and creativity. Simply put, intrapreneurs bring new ideas and approaches to their workplaces.

 More and more businesses, organizations, ministries, nonprofits, universities, etc., are looking for leaders who think and act like entrepreneurs. What does this mean?
 
In today’s episode, I specifically share:
💥 The top three skills you need to thrive as an intrapreneur
💥 Key questions to ask yourself to see if you’re ready for the future of work
💥 How asking God for His ideas, can help you impact culture in the marketplace

Friend, God has called you to lead in the marketplace. But sometimes, the voices in our head can get the best of us. You are a leader. You’ve been called to think outside the box, try new things, and lead a group of people who need your insight, wisdom, knowledge, and expertise. The future of work needs you!
