Building Multiplier Habits |
||
Heidi Brandow: Director, Global Learning & Development, Tesla |
|||
In this workshop, we'll explore how to recognize accidental diminisher behavior and create new Multiplier leadership practices. We'll explore how habituating new behavior requires leaders to do more than just experiment with a new practice. Leaders must zoom out and see the entire chain, understanding why we do what we do, what triggers diminishing behavior and how to use those triggers as cues for Multiplier practices that deliver better results. |

Monty Kelso: President, Slingshot |

With greater access to candidates via the internet and higher stakes than ever to hire right person—the first time—finding the right staff can be a daunting effort.

Leveraging Assessments for Growth |
||
Ginger Ward: Central Group Leader, Pastor Learning & Hospitality, Life.Church |
|||
Are assessments hard to understand? Are they easy to teach staff to use? Does it matter if we're a smaller church? Life.church believes that "personal growth is born out of self-awareness" and that's where assessments come in. During this breakout, you'll discover which assessments to use and when. You'll also discover how to integrate them into your church culture so you're a better steward of your church's mission inside and outside your walls. |

A Thriving Church Partnership: How Strategy and Talent Work Together |

Selecting the Right Candidate |
||
Chris Taylor: Managing Director, HR and Staff Development, Seacost Church |

What's the best practice for selecting fantastic staff? The first step is to be crystal clear as to who you are and who you are not looking for. Next is to accurately assess that person by using Behavioral Interviewing. Learn what competency-based questions are and how to use them to spot high potential in candidates, while discerning their emotional and spiritual health. |

An Innovative Approach to Onboarding—A Case Study |
||
Chris Dolan: Director of Information Services; Redeemer Presbyterian Church; |
|||
Why would I need an on-boarding process? What are the pieces to a successful one? We have a smaller church, do we really need one? Chris and Cherylin will address those questions and others as they share their process for creating an online onboarding course. However, this process is transferable to any church, whether you want an online course or not. And it takes less time than you think (they completed theirs in just four months with only four hours per week). Churches who have an onboarding process, urge others to start as soon as possible…learn from their mistakes! |

How Engagement Increases Church Impact |
||
Al Lopus: President, Best Christian Workplaces Institute; |
|||
What is "church staff engagement" and why is it important? You'll first take a short engagement survey for your team or church to assess how healthy it is. Then you'll be able to clarify a next step by hearing one of the church stories Al Lopus will uncover through his panel. Based on their stories, you'll be given time to not only identify where you think your church might be but also a possible next step toward a healthier culture. |

A Theology of Multicultural Ministry & Leadership |
||
Eugene Cho: Founding and Lead Pastor, Quest |
|||
Why should we pursue multicultural ministry? Is it just out of political correctness? And as leaders, why should we care when this kind of ministry can be so hard? Eugene will explore the answers to these questions while also exploring the theology that undergirds this issue. He'll then offer some practical ideas for creating a multicultural ministry in your own church. |

Staffing: Getting Out of Crisis Mode |
||
Colby Burke: Human Resources Director, Willow Creek Community Church |

Colby will share about his experience with recruiting—a seemingly endless task—and how he needed to break that cycle. As he takes you on his staffing journey with Willow Creek, he will have you identify your own open (or potential open) positions that you want to recruit outstanding people for. He will then give you the opportunity to apply the model he shares with you to your own situation, so that you'll walk out with some recruiting next steps for that open position. |

Developing Next Generation Leaders |
||
Miles Welch: Pastor and Executive Director of Leadership Initiatives, 12Stone® Church |
|||
At 12Stone, Miles has developed an emerging leader initiative which has grown into a residency program. But, he'll be the first to tell you, developing emerging leaders starts with identifying and then recruiting them. If you don’t get this right, the rest of it will fail. Miles moves on to challenge us how to uniquely develop this next generation leader and then empower them. During this breakout, he'll challenge you to think about an emerging leader you could apply these principles to and then give you time to identify some next steps. |
