…are not a lot of fun to have.
It seems easier to just let things slide and hope they get better rather than confront and challenge people with a gentle and humble heart. Unfortunately, that’s part of my job. A part of my job that I don’t tend to do very well. Thankfully the people (teens) I work with are great and don’t need correction very often! I’ve got it really good that way!
My role related to GIFT just got defined a little more this week. My job, in a nutshell, is to encourage the band members to encourage others; to teach them how to be good leaders. You might be thinking, “Obviously. Isn’t that what you’ve been doing already?” Hopefully. But for some reason it seemed to be clarified a bit more. I’m not meant to focus on all aspects of the functioning of GIFT. My main job is to train leaders. To focus on those 14 (or so) individuals.
I guess that includes challenging them. And learning more myself to pass on.
