In our final leadership lessons episode of Season 1, Ed and Sim take a deeper look back at the interview with Patrick Regan, and explore their own experiences of resilience - looking at The Resilience River exercise and sharing what keep their resilience levels high.

We talk to Patrick Regan about how to develop resilience, the importance of knowing our own values and priorities, and being grateful for what is good in our lives and our world.

In our second Leadership Lessons episode Ed and Sim look back over what Dr Kate Middleton said about finding the right balance in relationships with the people you lead and might also be friends with and look at how you can manage that.

We talk to Dr Kate Middleton about how to lead in a crisis like the global pandemic we continue to live through and the effects that can have on our mental wellbeing. And how one of the most important things it to look after ourselves through it so that we can support others.

In our first Leadership Lessons episode we re-visit what Dave Smith said regarding out health and the impact not looking after it can have on those around us. Sim and Ed delve deeper into that and take some of your questions including:

- How to assess the different aspects of wellbeing

- The personal things we do that have an impact on our own wellbeing

- How to find time to retreat as a church leader - and deal with guilt associated to that

- Numbers in church! How to be focused on the process and not the outcome

We talk to Dave Smith who challenges us to be intentional with our Christlikeness, Wellbeing and Health, to make small steps now that so that we can look back in a few years and realise how far we've come.

Sim and Ed discuss why we've started The Leadership Podcast, what it’s all about, and what you can expect from the first episodes.
