Welcome to LDRS 300 Leadership as Service Unit #1
Introducing Me
Hello, I’m Professor Hank
My favorite food will always be my wife’s cooking.
I like all types of music usually if it is done well. It largely depends on what I’m doing at the time. Easy Listening music while I’m working on course material, Country Music when I’m driving or working in my shop and Old Hymns sung by great singers as I’m making coffee and breakfast in the morning.
I would like to someday return to Hawaii where my wife and I spent our honeymoon.
I’ve attended Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Journeyman Baker -1985), University of Calgary (Business), Mount Royal University in Calgary (Business), and TWU in Langley (Masters in Leadership).
My hope for this class is we grow as leaders and find exciting ways to serve others to better our world.
What name they would like to be referred to in this class? ( English or Chinese name?)
What is their favorite food and why?
What is the genre of music they listen to and why?
What is a place they like to vacation and why?
What other Universities have they attended and why have they enrolled at Trinity Western University?
What would be one thing they want to learn from this class?

Proverbs 17:6 reads, “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.” The point is that grandchildren are beautiful jewels that grandparents wear like strings of pearls.

Required Textbooks
Books can be purchased through the TWU Bookstore with
free shipping or through Amazon.

Course Readings found in Moodle LDRS 300 List of Course Reading Materials tab.
Ensure that it is understood by the class that these are the primary resources to be used for citations and references for this course.
Failing to use these sources in response to assignment questions and papers will result in a 0% grade for the assignment.

Classroom Etiquette
Please engage the class fully to get the most of it, enhance your learning and get the excellent grade that you want.
Please ask questions!
If you have a question, it is likely someone else does too!
Take full advantage of this time to learn about yourself and to learn from others!
Please Speak English During Class Time
When in class please speak only English. Professor Hank does not speak Chinese and cannot understand what you are saying if you speak Chinese.
By speaking English in the BREAK-THRU ROOM accomplishes many things;
Learning about being Leadership as Service can be complex and in order to prepare you effectively use what you have learned in an English-speaking workplace you need to know how to communicate it well.
By speaking English, you encourage others to use their English.
Your professor will be better able to monitor your group discussions to make sure the concepts presented are being understood.
Any Questions about what was presented so far?

ASSIGNMENTS DROPBOX Tab.
Open Class Worksheet #2.
Take a few moments to reflect on the questions.
Answer them to the best of your understanding or opinion.
Submit your answers within the next week.
Give the class 5 minutes to start the worksheet #2.
18
What does WORLDVIEW have to do with LEADERSHIP?
Our WORLDVIEW shapes the way we make decisions and impacts the the way we react to the situations we face everyday.
How we interpret the experiences of life.
These interpretations can;
Limit us or encourage us.
Confuse us or give us confidence.
Promote courage or produce fear, anxiety and stress.
It could be thought of as the foundation on which a person builds their life.
19
What are you building your life on?
Rock
Sand
Read Matthew 7: 24 – 27
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Jesus calls out to His followers with an ultimatum:
What does He say is the wise thing to do?
What does He say is the foolish thing to do?

Today’s Blessing.
Thank you, Heavenly Father for bringing us together to learn about how Jesus served as the greatest leader of all time.
Thank you as well for the opportunity you have given us to learn from each other and grow in our leadership skills.
There are many thing we need to remember as we journey through this semester so please grant us the ability to keep all the classes, assignments and readings up to date.
Give us the strength and health we need to do our best and keep us safe, I pray.
As we learn more about who you are, may we trust in your goodness and grace to help us in this journey of discovery.
Bless us, I pray as we go from this class and bring us back together next week.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
