Are you interested in being a part of a leadership coaching group for the coming year?
I’m going public with a new endeavor that I’m working on for the coming year that you may (or may not) be interested in. God willing I will be launching a Leadership Learning/Coaching Group this November, which will carry through August of 2011. Right now I’m targeting a group size of 6-8 people for this inaugural journey. If you find some of the themes that are discussed and consistently revisited on this blog compelling and motivating, this may be a great opportunity for you to go a little deeper into them with a few other quality people. If you know someone that would be all about this opportunity, please let them know about this as well!I had this idea about a year and a half ago, but now the timing seems to be right and the last year has provided me with some of the needed clarity, encouragement, and vision to bring this to pass, assuming there’s a critical mass of motivated participants. I think this could be a highly rewarding and enjoyable process and I’m excited to see what comes of it. I’m including a summary of the vision, intended outcomes, and basic structure of the 10 month time line for those interested in this opportunity.I’m looking forward to getting this off the ground and learning as I go for possible future coaching groups. Here’s the breakdown of what I’ve been designing:Kingdom Learning Leadership Coaching GroupPurpose: To provided a guided leadership learning journey and experience in community centered around leadership formation in the context of teams and organizations for the purpose of building leadership capacity and wisdom.Intended Outcomes:
- Develop a basic foundation and working knowledge of family/congregational systems theory as it relates to teams, congregations, or organizations.
- Develop a holistic paradigm of leadership formation that integrates spiritual maturity, emotional maturity, and identity.
- Develop a strong foundation and framework for empowering others and being a servant-leader in identity and practice.
Structure & Details:
- Roughly a 9-10 month time-table.
- Who? Available to to Epic Movement, CCC Staff, and any other leader who is motivated by the intended outcomes.
- Monthly Commitment of 16-18 hours or 4-5 hrs/week. Video Conf. Call (2 hrs), Movie (2 hrs), Reading (8-10 hrs), Discussion Forum & Assignments (2-4 hrs)
- Cost: Free apart from cost of several books and several movie rentals and headset perhaps for video conference calls.
- Monthly conference call/video chat (2-3 hrs) covering reading and other assignments for the month and to discuss key themes covered that month.
- Books and readings (4-5 books; roughly 10 hrs reading per month)
- Movies and Media (1 movie per month)
- One Monthly Kingdom Learning Online Discussion Forum to have ongoing dialogue between conference calls related to readings, learning moments, and media based discussion.
Right now this is my own thing and is not an official enterprise of my ministry, “Epic Movement” or “Campus Crusade for Christ.” However, I will give priority to any Epic Movement staff that would like to explore this and I’d prefer everyone to be engaged in leadership in some way or on a leadership team on some level. There will likely be a bias towards the ministry context, but I believe it will be relevant and just as friendly to other leadership contexts. I’m gauging interest right now, but if there’s a decent response I’ll post a more legit application that will help me prioritize in allocating spots.Email me at bvirtue@gmail.com if you would like to request a spot or if you are seriously considering this opportunity so I can gauge some of the interest. And feel free to inquire about any more details that you might be wondering about if you’re thinking about it.I’ll keep you posted as things develop!!
