Circle of Trust:

• The Plague shared from the QSource Blog from 4/3
  • UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
    • The first quality of a relational leader is the ability to understand how people feel and think. As you work with others, recognize that all people, whether leaders or followers, have some things in common:
      • They like to feel special, so sincerely compliment them.
      • They want a better tomorrow, so show them hope.
      • They desire direction, so navigate for them.
      • They are selfish, so speak to their needs first.
      • They get low emotionally, so encourage them.
      • They want success, so help them win.
    • Recognizing these truths, a leader must still be able to treat people as individuals. The ability to look at each person, understand him, and connect with him is a major factor in relational success. That means treating people differently, not all the same as one another.
    • Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through him who strengthens me”. This popular verse holds different meaning now when applied to self-awareness and the ability to understand other people.
• TAPS
  • Reminder of First Friday lunch this Friday, 4/5
  • Khaki’s reported out about his trip to New Orleans and visiting their F3 group
  • Prayers for health and protection of our PAX and their families

  • Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”
  • Socratic
    • What is the purpose of mentorship?
    • Are there any required components to effective mentorship?
