LinkedIn Newsletter BlurbProfessional • Leadership-Oriented • Purpose-Focused🎨 Making the Invisible Visible: A Conversation with Prophetic Artist, Deb Brown MaherThis week on UNBOXED on Purpose, I had the privilege of speaking with Deb Brown Maher—Prophetic Artist, perspective illuminator, and author of Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales. Deb’s journey beautifully blends leadership, creativity, and spiritual sensitivity.From learning technique in a Pennsylvania attic to developing a God-centered sales methodology, Deb now helps individuals discover and release the masterpiece within. Our conversation explores how childhood passions, divine nudges, and courageous self-reflection can guide us toward meaningful, purpose-filled work.Key leadership insights from this episode:• Purpose often emerges from what influenced us early in life.• The gifts that make us effective professionally can also fuel our creative and spiritual impact.• Innovation requires unlearning limits and removing the “nots” that keep us boxed in.• Art, like leadership, begins with attentive listening—sometimes with a “third ear.”If you’re navigating transition, seeking clarity, or exploring your creative identity, Deb’s wisdom will speak to you.🔗 Listen now and share with someone who needs encouragement to lead beyond their limits.🔗 Learn more about Favored by the Father Ministries: www.favoredbythefather.com
