Love, Hope, & Faith

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Trust

I have been reading Speed of Trust and have been inspired and uplifted! I know that trust is very important. I feel that trust is a critical component in any successful relationship and many others know and understand that as well. But, what captivated me was thinking about how I motivate and inspire people with trust. And how what I believe to be true about trust, is very different from what others may believe. Trust is a function of two things: character and competence. It is one of my greatest goals in this Cohort to be a person that you all can trust. I intend to build relationship trust with all of you. As Dr. Vasek said, "We are like family". Our relationships and the memories we share will be with us for the rest of our lives! What a wonderful opportunity to have memories of such wonderful friends! Hope you all have a blessed week. I miss you all!

Diversity In Leadership

Knowing others is intelligence;
Knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
Mastering yourself is true power.
—TAO TE CHING

Focusing on Yourself was a common thread during our learning this weekend in both our Diversity and Leadership classes. As I embark on this journey of obtaining my doctorate degree, I believe the greatest level of change will take place within. Our cohort consists of knowledgeable and intelligent members offering valuable insight and perspective.
I am continually learning so much from your words and shared experiences. As I walk away from class, I am proud and honored to have been given this experience to work and learn from all of you! Thank you for such a great weekend.
