11月15日,我們CCCM的一群領袖聚首一堂,共同參加了全球領袖高峰會(Global Leadership Summit)!GLS 是一項年度盛事,每年透過分享獨特見解、新穎理念與發自內心的激勵,裝備全球數十萬位充滿好奇心、渴望成長的領袖。
整天的活動中,我們聆聽了多位世界級領袖的精彩演講。雖然他們來自不同的領域,擁有各自獨特的領導觀點與專業背景,但我發現他們的訊息中都帶着一個共同的主軸:專注。
其中一位講者 Christine Caine 談到了「漂流」的挑戰——當我們面對繁重任務與無數想法的壓力、他人意見的壓力,或是別人的批評時,往往會逐漸偏離最重要的核心。我想我們當中有許多人(包括我自己!)都是擁有宏大理想的領袖,渴望為我們的團體成就許多事,也常常同時涉獵許多想法。然而,當我們試圖同時追逐與掌握太多想法、意見與計劃時,我們真的還能專注於最重要的目標嗎?Christine 提醒我們要記得「抬起頭來」,專注於「為什麼」。記得我們在團體中所做的一切,最終都是為了天主。而當我們扎根於天主的愛與引導中,也許我們才能專注於祂認為我們最需要完成的那一件事上。
當天能與其他 CCCM 領袖增長關係也是一個極其寶貴的機會。透過有深度的對話與小組反思,我們從一些原本不太熟悉的領袖身上獲得了啟發,也再次被提醒:在這段旅程上,我們並不孤單。透過這些交流,祈禱與音樂,我感到重新得到力量,滿懷期待地繼續我作為領袖的旅程,並深知天主與我同行!
On November 15th, a group of our leaders from CCCM gathered to attend the Global Leadership Summit together! The GLS is an annual event that equips hundreds of thousands of curious, growth-minded leaders around the world each year through the sharing of key insights, fresh ideas, and heartfelt inspiration.
Throughout the day, we listened to talks from a number of inspirational world-class level leaders. Although they all spoke from very different perspectives and are experts from different fields of leadership, I found that they all share the same common thread of message: Focus.
One of the speakers, Christine Caine, spoke about the challenge of "drift" - the tendency to lose sight of what's most important when we are swimming through the pressure of too many tasks and ideas, the pressure other's opinions, or our own criticisms of the people we work with. I think a lot of us (myself included!) tend to be very ambitious leaders who want to achieve many things for our community, and we tend to dip our fingers into many ideas at the same time. But when we try to chase and catch so many ideas, opinions and projects all at once, are we really able to focus on the one thing that should be our top priority? Christine reminded us to remember to "look up" and focus on the WHY. To remember that that work we are doing in our community, is ultimately for God. And perhaps when we are anchored in God's love and direction, we are able to focus on the one thing that He is guiding us to achieve.
The opportunity to connect with the other CCCM leaders on the day was also immensely valuable. Through meaningful conversations and group reflections, we were able to be inspired by leaders who we may not have had the chance to get to know before, and be reminded that none of us are alone in our journeys. Through these conversations, prayer and music, I was definitely feeling more recharged, and is now excited to continue my journey as a leader with God alongside me!
