Picking up where Episode 3 left off, this latest installment calls us to ask ourselves, and the teams that we lead, how we work to sustain vision in our contexts.

In this episode we, once again, talk with Dr Brian Harris (Director) and Jennifer Argue (Executive Consultant) from AVENIR Leadership Institute continue to share from their personal experiences as leaders in education. We are reminded that leadership does not come without challenge and are encouraged to consider how hope and vision is instilled and sustained. We are called to carve out time and space to trust and listen, and have the courage to keep moving forward when times are difficult as leaders.



The challenge: 

What’s the calling of your organisation within the community and the time within which it’s called to serve? 

How will you render this imperative to be worthy of the calling you have received, and be actively involved in giving the world a better name, anticipating the world to come until Jesus returns and introducing people to him? 

Where Episode 2 caused us to consider the question of legacy and the importance of knowing when to pass the baton, Episode 3 takes a dive into the place of Hope in one's leadership and calling.

In this episode we talk with Dr Brian Harris (Director) and Jennifer Argue (Executive Consultant) from AVENIR Leadership Institute as they share their theology and journey of leadership in education. Together, they challenge us to think about the generational impact of leadership and the place of instilling hope in our schools and their communities. 

This episode will also ask the question of how the vision and hope that is instilled through godly leadership makes a difference for now and the long term.
