Greetings, Summit Leaders. Be encouraged, for you are here for such a time as this! Through personal discovery, every great leader understands that the place and time they live is not an accident. They believe that each opportunity, regardless of its packaging, is designed to prepare them for a more significant impact. "Stewardship is what a man does after he says, "I believe." W. H. Greaves The packaging and timing of a lifetime opportunity may come as a challenge that seems impossible to conquer. During the time of the pandemic, many are choosing to respond through serving. Recently, a new Summit Leader shared how he continues during his Summit training to serve others through mentoring, coaching students, and teaching opportunities. He is involved in P-Tech as a mentor to new leaders starting their career journey. He teaches students programming skills , serves as the focal point in identifying mentors for IBM interns in his work location, and leading in the Hispanic Business Resource Group within IBM. What's his motivation? "I want to make a difference in positively affecting others as much as possible." He is getting the most of this opportunity in IBM and honing his leadership skills. He expresses gratitude for the opportunity and demonstrates loyalty to his belief that he is here for such a time as this. He is a talented, thoughtful, and transformative leader. His opportunities will grow and sometimes multiply because he is faithful in doing the little things. Whoever is faithful over a little will be faithful over much. There are three questions for identifying the opportunity of a lifetime. 1. Does it seem too big or complicated to solve alone? 2. Do you believe that your skills, gifts, talents, and abilities matter? 3. Are you grateful for the opportunity to be part of the solution? If the answers are "yes,” you could be right in the middle of the opportunity of a lifetime. Here are three responses to keep you going. 1. I will commit to doing what I can do. 2. I will engage other believers to join me in the challenge. 3. I will attack the problem and never the people associated with the challenge. "Remember that opportunity is of no value unless used to advantage. Someone can show you an opportunity, but you must make use of it, whether it is a way to make money or a way to distinguish yourself. The quality of an individual is in the little things he does, not the big things." Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Great leaders are serious stewards. To whom much is given, much is required. "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his king will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times? Blessed is that servant whom his king will find doing so when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has." That's who we are, my friends. Victory!
