San Diego at CLA National Conference

I am in San Diego for the three day Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA) conference.  It is a great place to reconnect with friends and meet some new ones.

Dinner with Hodges

Asian Access colleagues Elliott, Joe, Ned, Ron, Phil, Jane and myself after an enjoyable dinner at Harry’s

I enjoyed dinner with my former colleagues from Asian Access.  Also joining us was Phil Hodges and his wife Jane.  Phil is co-author of Leading Like Jesus with Ken Blanchard.  Phil and Joe serve together on their church’s elder board.  Great night of fellowship and conversation.

Michael Hyatt, David Kinnaman and myself

The CEO for Thomas Nelson Publishers spoke at the CEO workshop today on impact of social media in ministry today.  He was followed by David Kinnaman, president of The Barna Group research firm on the nex-gen trends compared to other generations.  Both were compelling.
