Winston Churchill Risk = shift “Paradigm pioneers are always inquisitive, humble, students. If they assume the status of expert, they can be the organizations greatest obstacle to growth.†Doug Murren, Leadershift Risk = growth “By avoiding risk, we really risk what’s most important in life – reaching toward growth, our potential and a true contribution to a common good.†Max Dupree, Leading without Power Pause & Reflect… In your breakout rooms, take a few minutes and have everyone share with your group your response to one or more of these questions. 11 Where is fear holding you back? Which of Margie Warrell’s 4 elements of assessing risk do you struggle with? I overestimate the probability of something going wrong.

I exaggerate the consequences of what might happen if it does go wrong. I underestimate my ability to handle the consequences of risk. I discount or deny the cost of inaction and sticking with the status quo. Pause & Reflect… Margie talks about the 4 ways we can embrace a courage mindset Acknowledge my fear. Tame my fear.

Harness the power of fear. Keep stepping through it into action. Photo by Oliver Cole on Unsplash What does mark Zuckerberg have to say about risk? Jesus – a Risk Taker? 15 Jesus’ life on earth demonstrates huge risk taking: He left the unlimited power and perfection of heaven for the limitations and messiness of earth (John 6:38; John 3:13).

He never misused his position to bully or manipulate people (Matt 11:29; Matt 5:5). He knew that he would be laying down his life for others, many of whom would reject him, abuse him, ridicule him and torture him (1 John 3:16; John 3:16, John 15:3). 16 Jesus’ life on earth demonstrates huge risk taking: When he interacted with women, he broke all kinds of Jewish laws and customs (Luke 8:2 & 3; John 4). When he interacted with non-Jewish people (Gentiles), he broke all kinds of Jewish laws and customs (John 4; John 10:16; Matthew 28:18-20). When he interacts with “sinnersâ€, he is mocked and ridiculed (Mark 2:13-17).

When he healed on the Sabbath, he broke all kinds of Jewish laws and customs (Mark 3:1-6). 17 How could Jesus do these things? He knew that God was in control (p. 130) He knew he had come from God (p. 130) He knew that he was returning to God (p. 131) So what does this mean to you and I since we are not Jesus? 18 Take a risk When we know WHO we are, when we are CONFIDENT in how we have been created and HOW we do life, we can enter into TAKING RISKS with a deeper sense of INTENTIONALITY AND PURPOSE. How does my faith inform my risk taking? As a person of faith, I can take risks because I embrace the following truths #1. The world is much bigger than you or Me.

I believe God is still in control. When I follow the leadership and model of Jesus, then God is also the one in control of my life. And I recognize that I am part of a larger story unfolding and that while I am beloved and important, I am not the centre of the universe. Photo by Rachel McDermott on Unsplash #2. I am loved.

I believe that I am worthy of love not because of what I do, any status, education, wealth. I am loved for who I am and because of who I am. I do not have to prove myself worthy of love. So, I can make mistakes and life can be messy and I will learn and grow and be worthy of love, belonging and connection by the one who Created me. Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash #3.

I have a purpose. I believe that I was created for a purpose. And my skills, talents, personality, my strengths and weaknesses are limitless. The journey of my life is to uncover these purposes and use them to create a better world and bring my full self to spaces and places I find my self. Photo by John Salzarulo on Unsplash #4. the world is better with me in it – God doesn’t make mistakes.

As I discover my purpose, my mission and values, when I use what I have been given and embrace how I have been shaped, I become willing to take greater risks knowing that my unique contributions to the world are worthy, needed and desired. I can influence the world and leave my unique mark in small yet meaningful and profound ways.
