I had the honor to be part of Transformational Leaders
Network 2015, an event that brings together leaders from different walks of
life to converse, connect, challenge and celebrate each other. This was the
first time I attended and it was worth every minute. The one day event focused
on awakening people to the greatness with in them. For the first time, it was
brought to my attention that crises are not dreadful after all.
The host and opening speaker- Pastor Moses Mukisa affirmed
the fact that we are all called to greatness. And the fact that leadership is
about writing a different story where another exists. It is about writing a
story that impacts the lives of others. However for many of us, the
opportunities to arise to these leadership roles will be birthed in crisis
moments.
Every crisis presents an opportunity to serve those
affected, paving a way to greatness. Throughout history, crises have been the
release mechanism for greatness. The very challenges you are facing could be
the long awaited opportunity to set into your purpose and make your mark on
history.
Looking back on my life, I realize that the reason I am
where I am and doing what I do is because of the crises that I have had to go
through over the years. One of those was being forced to drop out of school due
to lack of tuition and here I am today empowering out of school youth to become
employable. Not only am I driven by passion, I also have a detailed
understating of their situations because I have walked a mile in their shoes. I
could cite several crises that have turned out to be blessings in disguise just
like you would if you took the time to think through and reflect on your life.
In case you are feeling stuck in life and wondering what
step to take next, you can start by identifying the crises you are currently
dealing with or have dealt with and think of ways that they could be turned
into opportunities to unmask your greatness.
“Never let a crisis go to waste, for in it
lies your call to greatness”
