Topics and Schedule
8:30am-9:00am | Arrival and Sign-in
9:00am-10:30am | How To Be An Effective Leader
A lot of ministry leaders move into their leadership positions because they were voted in, asked, or simply out of necessity. They were never taught HOW to be a leader. Leadership is a learned skillset. In this workshop we will explore what it means to be a leader, two foundational leadership models, and the responsibility and requirements of a leader.
10:30-10:45 | Break
10:45am-12:15pm | How to Lead With Emotional Intelligence
Emotions! It’s been said that Emotional Intelligence is a key predictor of success in life and relationships. So, how do we as church leaders develop this crucial skill? In this workshop, we will discuss the four basic components of emotional intelligence and how we can cultivate this skill to develop deeper and more meaningful church relationships.
12:15pm-12:55pm | Lunch
1:00pm-2:30pm | The Art of Listening, Asking Questions, and Feedback
Listening and Asking Questions are important and fundamental skills as a leader. Yet most of us struggle with what it means to be an effective listener and question asker. In this workshop, we discuss the importance of both skills and you will participate in a simulated activity to maximize the effectiveness of both skills. With these two skills in mind, we introduce the importance of feedback in your role as a leader.
