1. Learn to keep quiet and listen in the presence of a proven leader. The best impression is to be the best you with your mind on serving, reaching out and giving back into lives; making a difference. It takes courage to impact lives.
 
Be prepared to give a short and simple 'elevator speech' of who, what, when, where and why you are in existence. K.I.S.S. = keep it short and simple or short and sweet.
 
2. If you are scheduled to interview a proven leader, read up on their accomplishments. Quote something they love.
 
You are better prepared to ask questions that are meaningful. Save the small talk for later.
 
3. When communicating with a proven leader make she/he is the focus of attention; not you.  Keep business boundaries within a business mind set.
 
Know when it's business and when it is not. A friendship may or may not develop afterwards; expect this and do not take it personal.
 
4. When in the company of a proven leader: First things first.  Establish a clear written plan of exactly what is to be expected and what is to be given in exchange for it.
 
Always talk about the bottom line. Be prepared to negotiate and have a back up plan or at least a win/win strategy in place. Have an agenda that is narrow enough to be believed and wide enough to be achieved: cut big profjects into bite size steps of action/ delegate when possible.
 
Now, if you are wondering who the secret wise and savvy leader I am referring to, ha!  She is Madame Founder Yolanda Lamar-Wilder of WEA, INC. [Women Entrepreneurs of America, Inc.]. A 501 (c) (3) Not-For-Profit Organization. I have learn these things by being in her circle.  No matter how you may feel about her, personally.

Remember who you are In Christ.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not like that of the world.

Keep your heart and mind stayed on God; in the Word and prayer.

Hold on to what you believe and know to be true, just and fair.

God Calls you: More than a conqueror! A world Overcomer!

And He cannot lie, ha!

Here is what Proverbs 2:1-15 has to say to you this day: (NIV)

1 "My son, if you accept my words
       and store up my commands within you,

 2 turning your ear to wisdom
       and applying your heart to understanding,

 3 and if you call out for insight
       and cry aloud for understanding,

 4 and if you look for it as for silver
       and search for it as for hidden treasure,

 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
       and find the knowledge of God.

 6 For the LORD gives wisdom,
       and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

 7 He holds victory in store for the upright,
       he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

 8 for he guards the course of the just
       and protects the way of his faithful ones.

 9 Then you will understand what is right and just
       and fair—every good path.

 10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
       and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

 11 Discretion will protect you,
       and understanding will guard you.

 12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
       from men whose words are perverse,

 13 who leave the straight paths
       to walk in dark ways,

 14 who delight in doing wrong
       and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,

 15 whose paths are crooked
       and who are devious in their ways."

You are empowered to love and live in victory (both).

Greetings Wisdom Leaders!
 
The Word is Alive! Apply it and remain humble.
 
Exhortation!
Proverbs 22:4; 9 (New Living Bible)
4 True humility and fear of the Lord
      lead to riches, honor, and long life.
9 Blessed are those who are generous,
      because they feed the poor.
 
Warning!
Proverbs 22:5  Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road;
      whoever values life will avoid it (stay away).
 
Proverbs:16  A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor
      or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty.
 

With an extraordinary love of God for you,

"Choose Love. It looks good on you."(tm) ~ Nikki Jourdan
