Live Notes From Leadercast – 23 Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Malala Yousafzai

Today I am being dispatched by Injoy Stewardship Solutions (ISS) to attend the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast.  In an effort to grow in my skills to better add value to pastors and church leaders, I will be live blogging throughout.

The second sessions’  first speaker was Malala Yousafzai, Founder of the Malala Foundation.  She is 17 years old and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner ever.  Malala is an amazing leader!!!

Before getting to her thoughts on being a brave and bold leader, INJOY Stewardship Solutions is offering a FREE download of Church Branding 101.  In this resource Ken Wilson, Director of NewSpring Creative, will be walking us through NewSpring Church’s recent rebranding process.  Click here or on the image above to sign up.
