GLS20 Session Notes: The Pace of Grace

The following are notes from Mike Todd’s talk at #GLS20. Use them to help you apply the content you learned at the Summit.

Striding

• Stride means to walk with long decisive steps in a specific direction.
• Why are we walking if we can run?
• Why don’t we get there faster?
• The pace of walking lasts longer.
• When you find the right pace, everything changes.
• The pace of grace.

ASK YOURSELF:

• Is everything in your leadership moving at the same pace?
• Do you have leadership unity?
• Is your integrity, your health, your spirituality, your family, your character, your peace, your joy, and your fulfillment, are they working together in harmony, making a beautiful sound?

CONNECTION | Drumming:

• Different parts going at once in union—synergy.
• When you find the right pace, it’s easy for a team to follow you.

What have you been called to do?

• What is that thing that wakes you up in the morning?
• What is that thing that you are burdened with?
• Stay on that thing with the level of pace that will be able to allow you to sustain.
• We need leaders who will be here generation after generation changing the trajectory of the lives that have come before and lives that are coming after.
• Sowing down the pace allows for mental and emotional availability.
• Have margin in your life.
• Find the pace that is sustainable and livable.
• Poor pace produces missed moments, missed meaning and missed miracles.

If you do not find a pace, you will miss the moments that are supposed to bring joy.

• You will miss the things you’re supposed to learn, the meaning that is supposed to be in it.
• You’ll miss the miracles.

How do I set a new leadership pace?

1. Get A Vision

• Get a vision of yourself rested and whole.
• Vision is what you see when your eyes are closed.
• Sight is what you see when your eyes are open.

2. Make It Visual

• Write it down—nothing’s real until you write it down.
• Write down the goal that, “This time next month, my pace is going to go to this. And this time, the month after that, by this time next year.”
• Write it down, put it in your iPhone, put it on a tablet.
• Once it becomes real, it’s written down.

3. Be Verbal

• Tell somebody, “I’m changing my pace.”
• Once you do that, don’t violate what you said.
• The results are going to come.
• Pace directly affects peace, and peace is true prosperity.
• If you want true prosperity in your business and your life, you need peace.
• If you need peace over a long period of time, you have to have a pace.
• Success is not just where you end up, it’s how you get there.
