Chapters of Leadership - Settling
Key Responsibility - Part I
Rhythms of Rest
Rhythms of Rest Have to Outpace Rhythms of Fluctuation
It is easy to have our energy, focus and efforts diverted in everyday life. Would you be surprised if I told you recent research shows (worldwide) the average user spends 2 hrs and 23 min per day on social media platforms? The research now shows that we spend 35.8% of our daily online activities on social media. There are many implications to this statistic, but I would suggest at minimum it creates a significant challenge for the next generation of well | rooted leaders.
As we walk through the often erratic chapter of SETTLING there is something we must do to counter it. The statistics above not only speak to the distraction of time, but also the allure of scrolling, reading and then thinking we understand the content. Much like an anchor helping a ship weather the fluctuating seas, there are two key responsibilities we must embrace. If we are going to successfully navigate through the settling chapter of our story, we must have intentional rhythms that give us permission to set anchor.

If you are one of those leaders, what do you see in those around you?
What about yourself?
Even more importantly what type of value do you place on your time and energy?
