SESSIONS

PRE-CONFERENCE: Building a Killer Team Without Killing Yourself or Your Team — Hosted by Courage to Lead
One more leader won’t solve your problems. Seminary didn’t teach us this. Hiring people. Dealing with underperformers. Releasing people. Capacity issues. Chemistry issues. Character issues. Unity. Culture. Vision. Staff meetings. Leadership Development. A staff doesn’t make a team, but it can become one. When Jesus got ready to change the world, he built a great Team. If Jesus needed a great Team, do you think you might? You can’t do this without...a great team; a healthy team; and a highly competent and unified team. In this preconference we’ll show you how to build a killer team...without killing ourselves or our Team! Full list of speakers for this pre-con here.
Day / Time: Monday 1:00pm — 5:00pm and Tuesday 8:00am — 11:30am
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301A

When Jesus got ready to change the world, he built a great Team. If Jesus needed a great Team, do you think you might? You can’t do this without a killer team! In this workshop, we’ll teach you how to foster togetherness on your Team, have meetings that matter, assess your Team, get clearer with your expectations, bolster accountability, build an action oriented team, how to have “courageous conversations” with your Team, and do it all without killing yourself or your Team!

Workshop Session 2: Building a Deeper Bench: Your Leadership Development Pathway
We are called to develop our Leaders. We don’t use people to get ministry done. We use ministry to get people done! Hope is not a strategy. We need a plan. Experience alone won’t make our team better, They need reps followed by consistent, honest feedback. We need a culture, system and process that allows us to develop our Team and help them grow. In this session, we’ll give you the plan, including a step by step Performance & Review process.
Time: Wednesday, 8:45am — 9:45am

Workshop Session 3: Recruiting and Releasing 101
How do we find, recruit, and select new leaders? What are the qualities we're looking for in a leader? What about underperformers and leaders who can’ align with the vision? What do we do when we have the wrong leaders in the wrong seats? How do we release people the right way? In this session, William Vanderbloemen and Shawn Lovejoy will cover everything you were never taught in Seminary about HIRING & FIRING.
Time: Wednesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220
Speakers: Shawn Lovejoy, William Vanderbloemen
