Growing business with values

The values of Jesus are troubling to all of us. His values cut across our ego laden paths. The forum mission to leaders encourage leaders to live and lead like Jesus, is no small task. Our mission puts us at odds with the drivers of our culture; the pride of life, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes. To practice living the values of Jesus in our culture means we have to face our own enculturation. We often view the culture as that "bad culture out there." However, when we begin to see that, "The culture are us" we realize how tough it is to be free from cultural mores that sap our energies, our vision, and our passion. The trappings of wealth, power, success, etc... so easily ensnare us.

C3 Leaders Launch

Stay Tuned!

A new organization will launch with 30+ forums for business leaders in the Northwest. Not only will the new organization continue to support peer forums but they will also be launching new forums bringing seasoned leaders and younger leaders together. Jeff Rogers, Martin Barrett, Barry Horn, and Jeff Kemp are a part of starting new forums for younger leaders modeling what seasoned leaders have been learning in the peer forum.

Bob Nuber, Chairman of the Board of the new organization sees that forums provide the huddle like experience for forum members helping them to engage the game through effective small group engagement with peers and in the case of younger leaders, with seasoned leaders. Bob says, "This year we want our theme to be, "Breaking the Huddle."

Jerry Brown, Board member and one of the founders of the new organization notes that forums provide the grist for a leader to effectively reflect on their life and then move into appropriate action as they have allowed God enough access in their inner life. He often mentions, "Good leadership is from the inside out."

Barry Horn, board member and founder sees this new organization as a way to radically impact the Northwest as serious leaders begin to reach out in their communities in a variety of ways. A few years ago Barry and Fred Benthin co-founded an organization Liberty Road Foundation to facilitate businesses adopting non-profits to make a big impact in our neighborhoods.
