How Many People Are on Your Leadership Team? - Elizabeth Yorski, Co-Founder, Chief Learning & Development Officer at Emergent Strengths
Do you sometimes feel like you are leading alone? Are you occasionally weighed down by the demands of your role in the parish and community? God has endowed you with many gifts and strengths, but he has not endowed you with every gift and strength that you probably need - and that's okay. Contrary to popular belief, we are not made to be well-rounded but rather perfectly made in His image to work together to be complete.

 

Discover how identifying and leveraging the gifts and strengths of others God has placed in your path can help you find more peace, creativity, and collaboration to successfully fulfill your parish mission. Through real-life scenarios, we will practice the art of recognizing the strengths that you and those on whom you rely to achieve your parish mission hold and need to apply to your own unique environment.

3:45 PM – 4:00 PM
