Special Workshops
I lead individualized workshops on leadership and communication. A leadership team will want to work on a particular aspect of their ministry and relationship. Usually the elders and preachers are involved in several hours of work aimed at a particular objective. Often, the deacons are included as well.
Some of the areas of improvement that I have been asked to facilitate:
-
Delegation
-
Communication: developing better relationships in the leadership team
-
Shepherds shepherding shepherds
-
Integrating new members of a leadership team (How will new elders and previous elders work well together? How can the elders and new preacher get off to a good start?)
In these workshops, we set structure for good communication and work on the specific areas that need addressing. Since I am an outside party and have more than four decades experience, I don’t mind asking the questions that others are afraid to ask or haven’t thought of asking.
I bring my waste basket-recycling bin to each workshop. If it isn’t worth taking home, you can throw it away. I encourage each participant to find one “mustard seed” that will make a difference in one’s relationship with God and with others.
