Looking for a Coaching Network?

I have a couple of openings for a new coaching network that will begin next month in Atlanta. Here’s the scoop:

Who will participate?

This network is designed for leaders and strategists who serve in a local church. Typically, that has included lead pastors, executive pastors and leaders who report directly to one of those positions in larger church settings. This new group looks like it’s going to include folks from Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The network will be limited to no more than 12 participants. In the past, partipants have been from churches of all shapes and sizes — churches ranging from 200 to over 20,000 in attendance. 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.

What will you receive?

• Six days of coaching sessions beginning September 2010 (9:00 am to 3:00 pm each day)
• Focused training on a variety of ministry strategies topics including staffing, leadership development, communications, financial stewardship, volunteer team development, weekend services, ministry structure, discipleship, multi-site and more
• Tools, exercises and best practices to implement after every session
• The opportunity to network with and learn from like-minded leaders
• Dedicated time in every gathering to talk through the pressing issues you are facing
• An invitation to join an online forum limited to network participants for continuing dialogue between sessions
• Several free resources and books including a copy of Killing Cockroaches
• Plus other fun surprises and guest appearances!

What are the expectations?

• Attend all six coaching sessions on the following dates: Sep 24, Oct 22, Nov 19, Dec 17, Jan 21 and Feb 18
• Invest $200 per session
• Cover your own travel expenses as needed
• Commit to reading a book and completing exercises between sessions

What’s next?

Complete the coaching network application by Friday and submit it for review. If you are accepted into the network, we will notified next week.
