How can I restructure my time? This is the most asked question by clients, potential clients, and live show attendees. 

Leaders spend too much time trying to structure their organization for growth when the calendar is the most critical system. The right system is the one that works. 

Let me encourage you…

You are not responsible for what you can’t do and the time you don’t have. You are 100% responsible for the time you do have. 

So, how do you grow as a leader? You keep learning. Listen to podcasts, read a new book, or catch up on your favorite YouTube channel. Never stop working on yourself. 

Secondly, spend one-fifth of your time with your team. Teach your team how to see what you see, think as you think, and say what you say. 

One of the reasons why you don't meet with your team is because you doubt your own self as a leader. You need to overcome yourself and your insecurities for a true leader to rise. 

I’m cheering for you. You can become the leader you want to be. 

When building a team, we all start with great intentions. Then disruption comes and it's hard to tell where things went wrong.   Can we get real?   You may be sabotaging your team without even realizing it.   Don't worry, this is actually a lot more common than you may think.   On this episode of The CourageToLead Podcast with Shawn Lovejoy, Shawn describes the tendencies that sabotage team building and why they are so often found in new teams.   Want to overcome these tendencies?   Listen in...

Passion is central to being a courageous leader.

But how can we channel our passion to produce our desired outputs?

Derwin Gray, former NFL football player, founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church, and today's podcast guest, believes it all lies in our motives.

In this episode of The CourageToLead Podcast with Shawn Lovejoy, Derwin shares how our motives ("why we do what we do") deeply influences how effective our passion can be.

Have you ever hired someone who just wasn’t the right fit?   How about promoted someone who wasn’t ready for it?   On this episode, Shawn shares what he has learned from the times he was too hasty when hiring or promoting.   Looking back, Shawn explains that this happened when he neglected to objectively assess his hires on his team. Here Shawn offers wisdom into how to better evaluate your team with objectivity.

Servant leadership is not an isolated event; it's a cultural shift.

On this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast with Shawn Lovejoy, we are joined by Dino Rizzo, Executive Director of ARC Churches, Associate Pastor at Church of the Highlands, and author of Servolution.

Shawn and Dino discuss how serving accelerates the efforts of leadership and share about Serve Day, an annual opportunity for churches to impact their communities by showing the love of Christ through service projects.
