From many previous posts you can glean who Collin is, and why I would desire to learn from this prominent business man in our community of Odessa, Texas. For this reason, I'm going to jump right into the thoughts and leadership learning.
In a few weeks, I will be heading to Brazil to teach as an Associate Trainer for EQUIP http://www.iequip.org/. Collin is on the board of EQUIP and has done many such training. In a bit of an open session, I took the opportunity to ask Collin a few thoughts about EQUIP in South America, generosity, and finally some leadership questions.
Collin on EQUIP training:
--Be sure to discover the group dynamic of the location you are heading to
--Understand what it is the Pastor desires to accomplish by being a part of EQUIP
--Get as much back story and background as you can from those you interact with
--Spend time with your translator, meet them early, Skype them if possible, have a good relationship
Collin on Generosity:
Q: You are a generous person, what grid do you go through to decide who/how to give to? How does Collin Sewell know its right to give?
Collin offered 3 areas to ensure he is giving what is right, both in time and money.
1) Priority must be a driver
2) Need in the organization or persons life -- he is looking for an organization that is multiplying dollars
3) Heart -- in order to keep the heart soft to being generous, Collin is sure to give without strings attached
Collin on Leadership:
What is one mistake you witness leaders making more frequently than others?

L Lack of Humility, leaders often think they are smarter than everyone else. As a result, soon after they quit learning.
How can you make them want to ask questions, want to grow and learn?
Be a living example, help people where they need help instead of where you think they need help.
