Being oneself: Introduction

This is related to leadership style and will be a reiteration of some previous posts, but I'll try to pull together my thoughts about how to relate to the youth as an authentic adult. I may be overreacting to this but I remember so vividly a youth worker from my youthhood (that's a long time ago) who tried so hard to be one of us that it was downright embarrassing. I've had that image in the back of my head throughout my ministry.
  • That person meant well
  • But wasn't a good role model – someone we wanted to be when we grew up
  • Besides, who wants to be a kid their whole life
