#6 Mile Tour

When the plane landed back in Wichita after a long, but good, week in Philadelphia, I can confidently say that this trip has had a positive influence on my skills as a leader and as a person. I feel the biggest gain from the entire trip was gaining perspective on a whole different kind of way of life, as well as a brand new leadership context to master in the future. A different way of life is that everyone in Philadelphia seems to be on a tight knit schedule. Sure, people are busy in Winfield, but there is almost a whole different kind of tension, or feel in the air when it comes to getting where you are going. People move with a purpose and authority if that makes sense. In a leadership world, that’s going to be something to remember. Maybe that means people finding time to serve others in the community is sparser so you have to get creative with recruiting help. I am not saying people do not want to help people in Philadelphia, rather finding that time will be difficult. All in all, I cannot help but think of this mural we saw. A variety of forms of artwork all coming together to form ONE mural. Just like the variety of people who came together to create a masterpiece, or even the town known as Philadelphia today. Despite the differences from Winfield, to Ulysses, or to Philadelphia, you can always depend on people coming together to do service from every background to help build something great.Meer informatie
