Catalyst was filled with great young leaders communicating truth and leadership principles. However, John Maxwell, the organizations founder, and greatly experienced leadership guru also took a few moments to share with those in attendance. He outlined the importance of learning lunches and gave the following 7 questions that one should ask when inviting someone:
1) Whats the greatest lesson you've ever learned?
2) What are you learning now?
3) How has failure shaped your life?
4) Who do you know that I should know?
5) What have you read that I should read?
6) What have you done that I should do?
7) How can I add value to you?
John talked about one key to being a growing leader is to define a personal definition of success. Generally for me, that equates to serving God and my wife as best as possible and taking as many people to heaven as I can. Different phases of life may require a little more specific definition but overall, this is an important aspect of maintaining a personal growth plan.
John also outline the importance of doing 5 things in your life everyday that help you accomplish this goal. For me, writing is one of them. It is so important to continue growing daily as a leader, or one will fall victim to the stagnate nature of life.
