The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

This message was shared at the 2023 Fall Imagine Conference in Frisco Texas. In it, Brian challenges the listener to know ...

1. Who You Are

This was a deeply spiritual and powerful presentation, and is sure to minister to you in this season.

We began last week talking about the 4 quadrants or pillars of Leadership.

• Personal leadership

In this episode, we look at the importance and power of community involvement, and how your JOB/CAREER positions you for significant influence in the marketplace.

What does it look like for a man, for a woman, for a young person to be engaged in impacting the culture around them? What does it mean to exercise leadership and influence in culture, government, neighborhoods, and the business arena? Let’s explore this together.

Leadership IS influence … and influence is everything. Mine and your ability to impact the world around us is directly proportional to the effectiveness of our leadership.

Leadership, however, is not a linear thing. There are angles and insights and yes, BLIND SPOTS! What we need is a 360° Leadership Approach.

That’s what we are talking about in this session; “The 4 Pillars of Personal Leadership”.

This session represents the first in a new series on Leadership and Strategic Influence. My intention is to challenge you to accept the challenge to LEAD your generation.

You see, I want you to know that the life you are currently living is NOT all you can have. The circumstances taking place in your personal world, and the world around you are the result of someone’s leadership … maybe not your own. Someone has determined that this is where you should be, and because we are all people pleasers in one way or another, we tend to GO ALONG to GET ALONG.

Well I am here today to say that is not going to cut it. It is my desire today to shake you up, and call you out.

In this NEW series, we’re going to look at LEADERSHIP, Influence, and Why the World Needs YOU!

Relationships are dynamic, and we’ve established in our last session that some relationships are not meant to go with you to your next level. In fact, when dealing with relationships, we must understand the season we are in, and where each relationship fits in the overall plan of God for our lives.

Here are some questions we will look at in this episode:

• How do we navigate changes in relationships?

Today, we look at the inevitable testing and change that WILL come to every relationship, and how you can steward it in a way that produces a positive and Godly result.
