It was like a hand holding your face still, compelling you to look in the mirror.
You had to confront yourself — with the shortcomings, areas of struggle and some of the reality that was so easy to deny and run from. … I challenged myself to learn 3 new work tools within a stipulated timeline. I made a timetable, paid for them and showed up even when it wasn’t convenient. … Now, I am enjoying the benefits and acknowledgement that has come from this with my team and organization.

Business can disciple people, excellence is worship, and wealth is not just provision but a kingdom tool.
