Interested in Next Coaching Network?

January 8, 2009 in Growing Strategies,Leadership with 9 Comments

Last fall I started something I’ve never done before. I’ve been gathering with 10 guys once a month to talk ministry strategy. I gave up a day of my “weekend” to hang out with them. They made a time and financial investment to hang out with me. I tried to create a mentoring-type arrangement that allowed me to provide a more focused level of coaching than these guys could receive through my blog and other outlets.

With Perry’s stamp of approval, I launched my very first coaching network last September. And, based on the feedback from the 10 guys that have braved this initial journey, I’m leaning towards doing it again. The network will likely include 6 one-day gatherings over 6 months and meet at one or more of the NewSpring campuses. It’ll be limited to 12 participants and will likely begin in April 2009. Specific dates are yet to be determined.

If you are interested in receiving more information, please complete the following form. I’ll reply with more details in the coming weeks.

This opportunity isn’t for everyone. You will have to work. You will have to give up time in your schedule. You will have to make arrangements to travel to the thriving metropolis of Anderson, South Carolina. It will cost you a few dollars. You will have to brace yourself to be challenged and pushed to think in new ways.

Are you up for that challenge? Then let me know of your interest before next Friday, January 16.

    Dude, I so wish I was closer to SC – I’d be all over it…anything I can do to push myself forward and closer to God and building His kingdom. btw the interview with Perry yesterday was cool…think you could make it a regular thing that we could put on our schedules?

    Sweet…Kudos for sharing your knowledge with others…I’d be interested if I didn’t already have 24 hours a week devoted to schooling.

    Casie, that’s just the way it turned out the first time. I’d welcome the inclusion of some sharp women leaders this next time around. Based on the initial response, it looks like that will happen.

    Folks as a charter member of the initial networking group, I can honestly say this has been one of the best investments of my life. It’s amazing how much stretching and encouraging happens when folks with similar responsibilities get around the table and talk strategy. Tony’s insight and foresight are amazing! Anyone taking a part of this networking opportunity will be stretched, blessed, and a better leader for it.

    Anyone in Cali North Bay Area want to get together. I appreciate the blogs but I’d love some intentional relationship interaction.
