Tips for Leading with Confidence

Dear LWML Leaders,

Welcome back to Tips for Leading with Confidence. Congratulations, you have just been chosen to lead a board or committee! You may be asking yourself, “Where do I begin?”

Planning a Meeting

As you begin to think about your first gathering you may want a refresher on basic protocol. Meetings 101 on the LWML Leadership Development webpage is a wonderful resource to help with meeting preparation and to keep the meeting flowing smoothly. Here is a sample of the Leader’s Checklist from Meetings 101.

  • Begin by asking God’s direction through personal devotion and prayer.

  • Organize yourself before you arrive at the meeting by making a meeting outline. 

  • Upon arrival at the meeting place, and at least 30 minutes before the meeting starts, complete the following steps:

    • Check that the area is set up appropriately.

    • Make sure that all the equipment requested is in place.

    • See that those in attendance will feel comfortable and welcome in the setting.

    • Greet the speaker, verify the topic, and confirm the time allocated to the speaker.

    • Check with those assisting, ensuring that all details are covered and to encourage those who are faithfully giving of their time and talents.

    • Welcome those arriving with enthusiasm and a warm smile.

God's Blessings,

Susan Brunkow, Chairman
