In this inspiring interview from the most recent Outcomes Conference, we talk with Joni Eareckson Tada about what it looks like to thrive amid hardship and create a flourishing life amid suffering and limitations. Joni is the CEO and Founder of Joni and Friends. Having spent 54 years in a wheelchair herself, Joni uses her ministry to bring hope and dignity to individuals with disabilities across the globe. At this time, she is 72 years old, a quadriplegic, has cancer, aftereffects of COVID-19, and chronic pain… and yet God has met her right where she is.
When we asked Joni to tell us how she promotes thriving among her 180 staff members, she said its all about healthy life integration, dealing respectfully with conflict, and really listening to employees. She also mentioned the Lead Like Jesus Training and Best Christian Workplace Institute Survey (tools you can use in your workplace!) Joni’s precious transparency allowed us a glimpse of a full life cultivated through the power of prayer, singing hymns, and clinging to scripture.
