Become a Person of Influence

Becoming a Person of Influence

Last March, I joined the John Maxwell Team (JMT). Soon thereafter, I sought out a JMT-Certified Independent Coach, Speaker, and Teacher in my area. I found Howie Short (see his JMT Web Site). Turns out, Howie is a member of my church—University Baptist Church in Houston, Texas—and recognized my family when he saw our photo!

Howie and I met, and he mentored me through my John Maxwell Team Certification experience in August. I appreciated his wisdom and perspective. Howie retired as a Colonel from the Air Force and continues teaching leaders today.

On Sunday, Howie will start a new class at our church—based on John Maxwell’s Becoming a Person of Influence. He gave me a copy of the book, and I’ll be his backup teacher, in case he misses a particular Sunday.
