Catalyst - Day 2

I did not get to sit in on as many of the sessions the second day of Catalyst but what I did catch was good. Plus, as mentioned in a previous blog post there was some great music from Steve Fee and Aaron Keys.

The morning started with a talk on leadership from Dave Ramsey. If you know me then you know that I am not a huge Dave fan. I will not go into the reasons here but I was able to set them aside and sit in on his session. He did a great job talking about the 5 things that can kill an organization:

1. Poor Communication
2. Gossip
3. Unresolved Disagreements
4. Lack of Shared Purpose
5. Sanctioned Incompetence

His definition of "gossip" was interesting as well - "Complaining to anyone that does not have the power to resolve your problem." I had never thought of it that way before. I think there will be some changes put in place at InternetSafety.com over the next couple of weeks based on his talk.

Overall the conference was great and we were able to talk with a ton of pastors and youth pastora about Safe Eyes. I am looking forward to going back next year.
