Scott Dyer
got more than a free trip to New York as a contestant on Millionaire, he
also got a lesson on how he can improve his work with the Willow Creek Church.
As a singer and songwriter who produces CDs for the church, Scott was
excited to watch how the hit show was put together. He said that, in itself,
was inspiring.
"It was the process of stuff," explains Scott. "The executive producer,
Michael Davies, was on of the most impressive people I've ever met. He really
raised the values of the staff, making it (being on the show) an experience
for people." It was Davies passion as a leader in such a creative environment
that impressed Scott.

You could tell he loved
what he did, and that translated to the other members of the team, too,"
said Scott. Scott only met Davies for an hour and a half during the taping.
He said Davies made the contestants comfortable in what could be a nerve-wracking
situation.
"You can tell he is a great reader of people; he's trying to look deeper
than most people do," said Scott. That's the kind of quality that Scott
strives for in his work with Willow Creek, a south Barrington church that
fills the aisles with 17,000 people a weekend.
Scott never made it past the fast finger round, but he says the trip was
a very valuable experience. "It gave me insight into leading people in the
creative environment. That helped me in my work." |
