Modules Included:
Building Trust
Trust is the bedrock of strong relationships and a valuable currency for all leaders. Learn how to forge new habits that will help you build trust with your peers, staff, volunteers and congregations members, and identify behaviors you can start putting into practice today.
Bold Conversations
The ability to have an honest yet difficult conversation is critical if you want to lead with integrity and grace. In this module, you’ll learn how to have bold conversations that will increase awareness and help modify behaviour, especially with challenging volunteers or staff. Take home a useful template to help you prepare well for bold conversations.
Hiring, Firing and Performance Management with Staff & Volunteers
There are fundamental skills in managing staff and volunteers that all leaders need to do well: hiring effectively, managing performance, and terminating wisely and sensitively. Sadly, ministry leaders often learn these as they go, and miss essential elements that can protect them and their church. Based on experience and best practices, we’ll explore these essentials.
Executive Presence
Based on the concept of Executive Presence as a superpower, we’ll explore a model built around the acronym CAPE™: Communications, Actions, Polished Presence & Emotional Intelligence. Learn how to accelerate your impact and increase your self-awareness, skills and approach in all four categories.
Navigating Toxic Cultures & Leaders
Toxicity in the church and workplace affects everyone. It negatively impacts productivity, performance and morale. In a word, it makes people miserable. How can we identify it and how might we manage through toxic situations? We’ll explore how to identify signs of toxicity and how to effectively navigate it as leaders.
