Innovation/Creativity


To LeaderTreks:
Innovation means being outside the box, on the cutting edge, and one-of-a-kind.
Creativity means being empowered to pursue the process of developing new ideas, concepts and possibilities.

Doug, our president and the founder of this company embodies this core value to... well... his core.

From the way he started this company by taking students on trips and giving them roles of leadership

To the leadership model that he has developed which helps train people like myself on how to teach leadership and empower students and youth pastors alike.

Just today at lunch we were discussing one of the newest ventures of LeaderTreks, DNowOnline. Him and his company partners look to the problems that they are hearing or seeing in current curriculum offerings and answer that need in a very effective and innovative way.

(Product Plug: Check out DNowOnline. Seriously.)

We see God teaching us to be creative all throughout his word...
even from the very beginning.

"Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was his name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field."

Genesis 2:19-20

We all know that God created.

And then he asked Adam to get creative.

Come up with the names for EVERY animal

Adam had to have been a pretty creative guy.

So check back tomorrow as I share a little more about Innovation and Creativity in my own life!
