<p>Throughout this podcast, we’ve learned about other people’s purpose pivots, stories of them getting pushed to take detours and eventually seek their role in this world. One conversation with a friend about my own purpose pivots made me reflect and realize that I too have a story to tell. This is what this episode is all about. I will be sharing 3 lessons from my first managerial position in a manufacturing plant, which allowed me to grow as a leader. I hope these lessons will help you as well as you pursue leadership roles in the future.</p> <p>Tune in now to hear the lessons I learned from my first leadership role!</p> <p><strong>[00:01 - 03:05] Opening Segment</strong></p> <ul> <li>I introduce our topic for this episode</li> <li>Here’s what my friend told me that made me reflect</li> </ul> <p><strong>[03:06 - 13:30] Leading With Humility</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why you should be humble as a leader</li> <li>I talk about the importance of having a safe space</li> <li>Should you show emotions to your team?</li> </ul> <p><strong>[13:31 - 18:48] Understanding the “Heart” of the Team</strong></p> <ul> <li>The one important reason you need to take care of your team</li> <li>My reflections about Proverbs 11:14 and Proverbs 27:17</li> <li>What leaders will build in tough situations</li> </ul> <p><strong>[18:49 - 23:26] Building Your Resilience</strong></p> <ul> <li>How to build your resilience in your career</li> <li>The lesson we can learn from creating diamonds</li> <li>The purpose of Kairos Leaders</li> </ul> <p><strong>[23:27 - 25:00] Closing Segment</strong></p> <ul> <li>Connect with me!
