Personal Leadership Conferences

 Personal
DISC
ernment
Inventory

Each of us has strengths and weaknesses that make us more effective in some situations and less effective in others.  In fact, leadership potential and personal effectiveness are frequently determined by the alignment of strengths against certain situations.  Many of us have discovered that the more we know about ourselves and others, the better we can anticipate behavior in certain situations, and therefore the better we can serve and relate to other people.

The Personal DISCernment® Inventory will enable you to more fully discover

  • How you see yourself 
  • How others see you 
  • How this may impact the effectiveness of your relationships 

Through this process, you will learn more about the real you—a person who might be slightly different than you thought.

A Leadership Encounter
with Jesus 

At the core of true servant leadership is Jesus of Nazareth as a practical and inspirational role model for all leaders.  Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges have developed a challenging personal encounter with the most influential leader of all time.  Paid staff and volunteer leaders searching for a relevant and effective model for their own day-to-day leadership will be challenged as never before to look at Jesus in a new and life-changing way.  You will learn about the barriers to effective leadership and the power of the head, heart, hands and habits of servant leadership.

As a result of this workshop you will find:

·       A new appreciation of Jesus as a viable role model for leadership in the 21st century.

·       A self-administered assessment of your leadership motivations and behaviors as compared to those modeled and taught by Jesus.

·       Insight into the common struggles and strategies of leaders trying to walk their faith at work.

·       A recommitment to a better way of leading with Jesus as a teacher and model.

Situational Leadership II

Situational Leadership II is recognized as an organizational language and a framework for developing people.

Leading with Style

Our behavioral traits are not only a major influence on our leadership style, but also provide the template through which we view the leadership of others. When we are led by those with different behavioral styles from our own, we have a tendency to feel over-led.

Understanding these differences will not only help you to better serve those you lead, but also help you to better respond to the leadership of others.

As a result of this workshop you will be able to:

  • Better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your leadership style.
  • Identify the leadership style of other people
  • Develop a strategy for leading those with styles that differ from yours

One Size Does
Not Fit All

Tailoring your leadership methods to fit your church's size is the key to successful ministry. Experience continues to say that the size of your congregation is the most critical variable in determining how it behaves, and that congregations of very different sizes behave in very different ways. Instead of applying a one size fits all approach to ministry, we need to adapt our approach to the size of the church.

As a result of this workshop you will be able to:

  • Understand the various barriers that hinder church development
  • Identify your church structure according to its size
  • Develop a strategy to lead your church to the next level
