Ok, I meant to follow up that last post much sooner but that obviously didn’t happen. One of the things I have been working on recently is helping out with the launch of Backstage Leadership, an innovative leadership development experience dreamed up by my good friend Greg Darley. Without going into all of the details, the program has 2 major components; first, unique Q&A sessions with experienced leaders, and second, ongoing coaching to help participants implement the things they are learning.
Tonight we officially launched the program with a great group conversation with Chuck Colson. In case you are not familiar with him, you really should check out this wiki, since I would not be able to do him justice in only a few sentences. The session began with Mr. Colson talking for a few minutes about one of his passions, a Biblical worldview, and ended with him fielding questions of all kinds from the Backstage participants. The Q&A portion of the night was simply amazing. Although none of the questions were especially notable, the answers were very much so. Mr. Colson is a Godly man with a lot of life experience and wisdom and his answers to all the questions were full of great nuggets of truth.
The whole experience reaffirmed for me the value of intentional dialogue with people who have more wisdom and experience than I do. I am looking forward to the upcoming coaching sessions and many more similar conversations over the coming months.
PS – If you are at all interested in participating in Backstage Leadership, please let me know and I can get you more details.
