Coaching Network Application Deadline this Week

January 4, 2010 in Leadership with 1 Comment

There are a few slots remaining for the two new coaching networks that will begin next month. This Friday, January 8, is the application deadline.

One of the coaching networks will meet in Atlanta at West Ridge Church. The other one will meet from the confines of your home office via the World Wide Web. I’m offering one opportunity for those who want to travel to Hotlanta and another for those who would like to save a few pennies and join us online.

Overview

This network is designed for leaders and strategists who serve in a local church. The network will be limited to no more than 12 participants. As best as possible, I will select candidates to participate who are in similar roles and at similar churches. I’ll try to create an environment where you can experience the coaching but also learn from your peers. And, frankly, I’m looking forward to being challenged and learning from all of the participants as well.

We will meet six times once a month between February and July 2010. Each day will begin at 9:00 am and conclude by 3:00 pm. The dates are listed below.  Once the coaching network participants are identified, I will ask for recommendations on topics to cover at each session. Topics may include: staffing, leadership development, communications strategy, financial stewardship, volunteer team development, weekend services, ministry structure, multi-site strategy and more. Additionally, each session will include an opportunity for participants to discuss the pressing issues they are facing in their ministry environments.

What will you receive?

Six day-long coaching sessions
The opportunity to network with like-minded leaders
An invitation to join an online forum limited to network participants for continuing dialogue between sessions
Several free tools and resources including my new book, Killing Cockroaches
Plus other fun surprises and guest appearances!
