My first "indoor" job and one that taught me too many things to list - how to run a good meeting, how not to have too many metrics, the importance of mission, exposure to great books, how to manage paid and unpaid staff, public speaking, PR, HR, media engagements (over 100 interviews in 8 months), event planning and execution, fundraising, process development, and the importance of setting boundaries between family and ministry. 4th: President of BMH Solutions (current endeavor) - jumping into the deep end of building a business that provides the platform and tools businesses need to take control of their recruiting and hiring.
