From time to time in 2015, I’ll be showcasing examples of leaders across a variety of contexts lead from a place of humble confidence. Please drop me a note for consideration for a 2015 profile in confident humility. When I think of role models of confident humility, it’s hard to imagine a better example than Jesus.

I attended Leadercast 2015 last Friday. The conference topic was The Brave Ones. I had some major takeaways from the simulcast that I wanted to share. I confess I wasn’t excited about going. I was not inspired by last year’s event. However, this year’s event challenged and energized. It was the best day I’ve spent in quite a while.

My commitment for 2015 is to make a difference in the lives of leaders who make a difference. How about choosing to make a commitment instead of a resolution?
