Listen "Have No Fear"
Episode Synopsis
This is the first podcast that I was initially reluctant about recording. Let me tell you the backstory and then I’ll tell you about my reluctance. In the Fall Rev. Virgil Hammett, pastor of Saint Andrew’s AME Church in St. Andrews, South Carolina asked me to be their Women’s Day speaker.I was sure that he’d bumped his head! While I am a woman of faith, I am not a scripture quoter. In Bible study it always takes me twice as long as everyone else to find the books and chapters. I’m admittedly remedial in that and so many other religious arenas. So, you can see why I was surprised that Rev. Hammett would want me to address the women of his congregation. Fast forward to this podcast…I thought that the points I raised in my Women’s Day speech were valuable, really valuable to anyone. My concern was about whether I wanted to share my faith, really and completely share it, in my business life. I thought, oh dear what if I lose subscribers? I asked myself if I really wanted overlap between my deeply held personal beliefs as a Christian and my work world.Then it dawned on me, I already have overlap, as well I should! My faith is who I am. It guides all of my values which guide my actions. It guides how I engage with clients and how I engage with the larger world. If I don’t have overlap then I’m in real trouble!
