As an organizational leader and an adjunct professor, I understand faith’s role in achieving personal and professional objectives. I believe faith is essential in promoting resilience and positive outcomes in various domains, including business and leadership. I believe I can achieve all things through Christ who gives me strength. Moreover, my God-given talent is to help others achieve their goals.
Research has found that faith positively impacts various aspects of human life, including physical and mental health, stress management, and coping mechanisms (Fitchett et al., 2004; Pargament, 1997). Thus, many leaders, including myself, have realized that faith is invaluable for developing resilience, patience, and confidence.
As a leader, I can attest that the timing of completion is not always within my control or anyone else’s, but it is in the hands of the Lord. This realization has helped me develop patience and confidence in my ability to trust in the Lord’s plan. I have learned to trust that my goals and objectives will be achieved in due time.
My faith has been instrumental in enabling me to avoid getting easily worked up, knowing that my plans are minor compared to God’s. As a leader, it is easy to feel that the world revolves around me, but I am reminded that I am here briefly while God’s grace and love will last for eternity.
In conclusion, my experience as an organizational leader and adjunct professor has taught me that faith is essential in achieving personal and professional goals. It promotes resilience, patience, and confidence while also reminding us of our place in the world.
