Personal Leadership Model

Figuring out who I am was not something I had done until the doctoral program. Yes, I understood what I did, and who I was, but I never took the time to fully work out and think deeply about who I am, let alone my leadership model. Below is a snapshot of that work. During that time of introspection, I realized that I grew into my given name, came from a line of common people doing hard things, and reminded myself that it is also "Whose I am" that sets my mind toward stewardship.

I decided to include both the slide used and the unpolished notes that I used to work through a short presentation. The value of sharing the notes is to illustrate that polished presentations are not accidental. And, at least for me, take many edits, to be in a position to share an item in one minute to one hour, depending on the audience needs. The edits show how it was used for a 3-minute presentation. More about my work to find this personal leadership model is shared in the Professional Essay, Finding Newtonian Stewardship and a dissertation topic.

At the end of this, I trust the reader will understand that knowing our personal leadership model allows us to filter and discern how we should live. It has been that for me.
