Patience can be a virtue or an agent of self-sabotage. Some things require standing in long lines while others don't. The key is to be able to discern between the two. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. equips us with insight on how to tell the difference as well as why it's good to be willing to embrace the pleasure and the pain of opportunities that accelerate us out of our comfort zones.

Leading like a benefactor means you are committed to being someone who is in the position of doing good for and toward others with your mind, time, talents and expertise, without the expectation of getting something in return as your primary driver in the relationship. 
 
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  explores five takeaways that you and I as leaders can put into practice that help us have influence that goes beyond being bosses to being benefactors in our relationships.

God cares about leaders! And if you’re leading anything, that means He cares about you.  These words, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” which put another way is, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” come from 1 Peter 5:7 .

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. reminds us that these words point to one essential reality — that God cares about your leadership. He cares about you as a leader, he cares about what’s on your mind and he cares about how you are processing what is in your mind — the weight of it, as well as the time and attention you are giving to it.

Dr. Stephen V. clarifies how overcoming the fear of commitment is a sign of personal and professional maturity.  Committing protects us from being bossed around by the plethora of opinions and approaches so many of us blindly adopt without being disciplined to intentionally stick with one targeted direction. You'll learn that pushing in one targeted direction to the limit and looking for results equips us to focus on living rather than being in a continuous loop of longing.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. reminds us that being acknowledged for our contributions takes time but that applause and praise is far less significant than delivering on what we have to offer and honing it to make it better for the people who experience it.

 Yes, you have peripheral influence,  but for it to be impactful, there must be a specific level of personal readiness for the encounter to have any value to people on the periphery–on the margins who "catch" what is seen, modeled,  read, or heard.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.   walks us through the requirements and conditions that must be met for peripheral influence to have a significant life-changing effect on people you never imagined you'd influence.

Did you know to have peripheral influence? Are you underestimating your peripheral influence? 

Have you been so focused on the people in front of you that you haven’t thought about the possibilities of the impact you’re having on people who are listening to, or observing you from a distance? Dr. Stephen shows us why don't want to underestimate the transformational influence we have on people who are standing on the periphery

Dr. Stephen V. continues The Decision Series. In this episode, he explains why being in a holding pattern that keeps us from taking immediate action/decisive action on a key decision can serve us well and be used strategically to set us up for even more effective impact.  We can avoid being a victim left up to chance in these situations even if we did initiate the conditions that got us into that holding pattern in the first place.  After listening consider the following reflection  questions:

Reflection  Questions:

• How are you utilizing the times when you are circling your territory targeted for impact but not yet landing on it to take action?
• How do I navigate the times I’m forced into a holding pattern — unable to take immediate action like I planned?

Need some more concrete support in these areas?
