Becoming A Man of Prayer…Again

by Ken Life-on-life

In January 2003 I became a man of prayer. It happened in this way…. A few days before Christmas I had received an urgent phone call.

Communication means Loving Well

by Ken Life-on-life

One of my core convictions is that Leading well is Loving well. Leaders end up communicating a lot: 1-on-1 and large groups, written and spoken, blogs and Facebook, texts and phone calls, formal and informal, face-to-face and over distance, planned and spontaneous.

Overcoming Plateaus

by Ken Leadership

For the past 8 years I’ve been stuck. At least when considering my weight, which has been pegged at a certain number. I’ve tried multiple methods to shake off the extra 7-8 kg around my middle, but little seems to work. Over the years I’ve eliminated sodas, white flour, and most junk food from my [...]

Refocus for Fresh Impact

by Ken Leadership

OK, take a deep breath. Pause. Evaluate. Focus. Then let it fly. That’s leadership in action. This summer my schedule allowed me to engage in activities which differed from the usual work fare. I taught a Spiritual Leadership class for a week in Chiang Mai, Thailand, stayed home for a month straight, attended the excellent [...]
