Leading 10X Bigger: Executive Leaders (Co-ed)

Leading 10X Bigger is a 1-week executive-level leadership training.

As your leadership increases, so does your need for practical skills and spiritual depth. Join us for a week of building your competence, confidence, and abilities in close community with other leaders moving into executive roles. Participants will be equipped to set direction, lead change, build a team, serve as a spokesperson, and lead up—while remaining deeply connected to the Lord. They will build confidence and establish tracks to run on for the next season, including a development plan and action points from their own reflection time. 

“You can’t do big like you did small.” And that is the challenge for leaders as their leadership responsibilities increase. How do you make the adjustments to the new realities? What must change? What must stay the same or increase? Sessions will include:
