Welcome to the Carrie Newhoff Leadership Podcast. A podcast all about leadership, change and personal growth.

The goal, to help you lead like never before in your church or in your business.

And now your host, Carrie Newhaw.

Well, hey everybody and welcome to episode 10 of the podcast. My name is Carrie Newhoff and I want to welcome you today. So glad that you're along and I hope this is a great time we spend together today so that I can help you and maybe we can learn

together how to lead like never before. I don't think you're going to be

disappointed at all today because our guest is a guy by the name of Ron

Edmondson and it is kind of hard to describe

Ron I mean right now he's the pastor of a church you'll hear about that shortly

but he has done so much with his life. You'll hear me when I introduce him.

He's run for office, he's run a business, he's planted churches, and right now he's

doing something huge, he's transitioning a church. And so many church leaders I talk to struggle with change.

And that's really what this podcast is about.

Now, change isn't just an issue for church leaders,

is also an issue for all of us who lead any kind of organization, even if you're in a church

plant or a startup company, within about two years you're having to change because

the strategy you launched with probably isn't going to be as effective two years down the road as it is when you launch and so change can be very very difficult at times.

If you follow me at all you know that this is something I'm

really passionate about. I've written about change in a book called

Leading Change Without Losing It for all of you who are asking I get asked this

all the time. I am moving into a writing season actually over the

next few months. I'm going to be sitting down to write a book. I'll let you know how that's

going and we will keep you up to date on that. But the dynamics of change can seem very mystifying.
