LEADERSHIP
Why Bother Growing?
Is it worth all the time and energy to grow as a leader? Where do you start and what should you focus on?
This workshop will help participants to see the benefits of growing as a leader. By focusing on specific directions of development and showing the action steps required this will ensure growth can be measured over time.
Understanding where we are in our leadership, including recognizing positive and negative blind spots, helps us develop a realistic growth plan of where we would like to be.
Best delivered in tandem with our online 360 Leadership Assessment tool,
Launching Rockets - Teamwork
We’re all part of a team and we know working with others can be fun and exciting or challenging and difficult!
This workshop merges an example of Biblical teamwork (the body of Christ) with the incredible team behind space travel. Participants will discover how to be effective team members and learn about the essential characteristics needed for a team to thrive. Through group discussion and hilarious interactive activities, participants will recognize the value they and their team mates contribute to success of a mission.
How to: Communicate with Confidence
They say people are more afraid of public speaking than they are of dying. In both cases we lack the confidence to live up to our potential and stop wasting our moments.
This workshop will focus on 5 communication tools to help you clarify your message and make it unforgettable. As we learn to communicate with confidence our audiences will remember what we say and our moments will make a difference. In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to communicate one-on-one, presenting with a team, or delivering a speech to a crowd.
“It had a lot of good insights and advice for our lives. The workshop was very interactive and kept people involved and engaged.”
CHARACTER
What's Your Spark?
We can use our unique God-given gifts, talents, passions and experiences to make a difference in our world.
This workshop is full of stories, interactive activities and small group discussions. Participants will be sparked to action as they brainstorm ways to connect their own abilities with ideas for change. They will identify the needs, burdens and injustices in their communities and recognize their role in the solution.
The Shape of a Leader
Many leaders seek to be in charge because they want all the power, but what if they tried to lead like Jesus? The greatest movement in history began because its Leader empowered others.
This workshop will encourage attendees to lead like Jesus as they create community, point to God-given potential, and seek to serve others as the greatest measure of success.
How to: Make Great Decisions
Should I get a part-time job? Should I go to University? Should I date? Making big life decisions without all the facts or without getting wise advice leaves young people feeling confused and unsure.
This workshop will challenge participants to identify the best choice when faced with a myriad of options, feedback and concerns. While using their own real-life decisions, participants will learn the steps needed to make confident decisions as they discern God’s direction in their lives.
“The workshop really made me think about how I can use my skills/ gifts/ passions to create change.”
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Hearing God
God wants to communicate with his creation and he does so in numerous ways, some of them unique to who we are. But how do we know its God?
This workshop will involve interactive activities, quiet reflection, and group discussion. Participants will learn how to recognize and hear God's guiding voice as they navigate their faith journey. Presented with Biblical examples and survey results detailing the most common ways Christians hear God, they will be motivated to spend more time listening, discerning and pursuing God’s desires.
At the Core
So much of your life is spent understanding your identity. We are looking for value and worth. But does it come from what the media portrays, from what other people think or in what God says about us? Our self worth is established by answering these important questions.
This workshop focuses on God’s perspective in the story of Joseph and throughout the Bible. Participants will be challenged to discover their core identity and will learn how to live based on this understanding.
How to: Have Spiritual Conversations
Most feel a little nervous when faced with the word ‘evangelism’ but we don’t need to fear when it comes to helping friends take a step toward Jesus.
This workshop will implement activites based on the book God Space by Doug Pollock. Participants will be equipped with the courage and tools to inspire spiritual conversations with their not-yet-Christian friends.
“Thank you. You’ve really impacted the kids and helped them encounter God this weekend.”
