One of the managers who report to me gladly share that he received very positive feedback about his leadership presentation. He sent me a summary, and when I looked at it I was uneasy.
He invoked God in his leadership presentation. And I actually advised him not to do it. Regardless of whether someone believes in God or Not, I think it is unfair to mention God in a leadership presentation or in any other presentation with a big audience with a topic that has nothing to do with God or religion. Of course if you invoke God there is a big chance that more people will listen. But it would be difficult to measure how good you were in your presentation. Or how bad for that matter.
If you mention your beliefs or personal relationship with God, you could be taking away salient points from the meat of your leadership presentation. And it now becomes a personal presentation, rather than a showcase of the principles that you really want to convey.
If you want to share your unique and successful relationship with your personal God, there are other venues to celebrate it. But it defeats the purpose in a leadership presentation. After all, you are not able to measure whether you really did well in terms of articulating the leadership topics you planned to.
Just an opinion.
