Quotes from Shawn:
Every leader needs a coach. If you want to grow, you need a coach.
If you do the right thing the wrong way, you still get fired.
Every leader needs that safe place to process through leadership decisions.
Find your indentity in who you are and who God created you to be, not in a title or a position.
I looked for a pastor and a church that could lead me spiritually. Everything else is secondary.
