Leading Through Change
All of us have or will have an opportunity to lead through change. Perhaps it’s a change in leadership, direction, systems, processes, or programming. No matter what kind of change we’re pushing for, nearly all of them will be met with some opposition. Learn a strategy for leading through change without losing your marbles.
Speakers: Allyson Evans & Todd Roy

Managing Conflict
Conflict management is one of the more difficult areas of leadership to navigate, especially in ministry. “Conflict” can seem like a dangerous word, but in reality, it’s a valuable tool for building trust in relationships, bringing excellence to our outcomes, and pushing us forward in development. Join us to learn how to effectively leverage conflict to make ourselves, our relationships, and our ministry stronger.

Tackling Stress
Stress is a physiological issue, an emotional issue, and a spiritual issue of the heart. In this session we’ll tackle the harmful forms of stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Be forewarned: you will be doing some work during this session: a self-inventory and making an action plan for tackling stress in your life. Hopefully it won’t be too stressful. 🙂
