Leadership<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve enjoyed watching Brad Lomenick&#8217;s leadership journey from afar. \u00a0I read his book <a href=\"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/?p=7152\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Catalyst Leader<\/em><\/a> two years ago and was excited to hear that he wrote <em>H3 Leadership: Humble, Hungry, Hustle<\/em>. \u00a0I was privileged to receive a copy to review for this blog. \u00a0What stood out to me the most was the authentic way that Lomenick processed and wrote about his recent change in Leadership. \u00a0After a long time at Catalyst, Lomenick felt like God was closing the door on that season and moving him to a new assignment. \u00a0It was helpful to read and reflect on the questions that Lomenick challenged himself with during this time. \u00a0For him, the answers to those questions led him to make the change. \u00a0For me, the answers to those questions confirmed for me that I&#8217;m right in the middle of where God has planted me.<\/p>\n<p><em>H3 Leadership<\/em> is a great resource for leaders or those contemplating leadership positions as the book provides a great framework with which to consider what the definition of success is. \u00a0His story also gives the reader a chance to see that failure isn&#8217;t the end&#8230;it&#8217;s really just a part of the process where the Lord is refining us and growing us into the people He created us to be.<\/p>\n<p>I highlighted several things while reading and have posted my notes below&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"
