Hi, my name
is Charlotte
McCorquodale
and even
though I run a
tech related
company,
sometimes
technology
drives me
CRAZY!
CONFESSION TIME
TWO TYPES OF
MOTIVATION
Steve
McClatchy,
Decide: Work
Smarter,
reduce stress,
and lead by
example
GAIN VS.
PREVENT PAIN
Tasks that you are driven toward by Gain produce more
significant positive results in your life and your business
than tasks that you are driven toward by Prevent Pain.
Personal Mastery
Mental Models
Building a Shared
Vision
Team Learning (Shared
Wisdom)
Systems Thinking:
The Fifth Discipline
THE FIVE DISCIPLINES OF A
LEARNING ORGANIZATION
PERSONAL MASTERY
“Personal mastery is the discipline of continually
clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of
focusing our energies, of developing patience, and
of seeing reality objectively. The key to this
discipline is living life with intentionality and from
an importance paradigm.”
Two underlying movements:
1) Clarifying what is important to us, and
2) Continually learning how to see current reality
more clearly.
CREATIVE TENSION
Vision:
What we
want to do,
goal, vision,
etc…
What is the creative tension in your ministry
that makes you want to work smarter?
Current Reality:
Where we are
relative to
what we
want…
CREATIVE TENSION
AND CLOSING THE GAP?
Two options, we can either lower our standards
(vision) or move towards our vision!

process of sorting through the vast amounts

in a meaningful and organized way around a

“THE WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS CAN HELP US
EITHER TO EXPAND OUR KNOWLEDGE OR TO LOSE
OUR BEARINGS. THE DESIRE FOR DIGITAL
CONNECTIVITY CAN HAVE THE EFFECT OF
ISOLATING US FROM OUR NEIGHBORS, FROM
THOSE CLOSEST TO US. WHILE THESE
DRAWBACKS ARE REAL, THEY DO NOT JUSTIFY
REJECTING SOCIAL MEDIA; RATHER,
THEY REMIND US THAT COMMUNICATION IS
ULTIMATELY A HUMAN RATHER THAN
TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENT.”
