Critical Skills for Emerging Leaders
Build an effective missions culture in which team members are confident with their abilities, strong in their spirituality, and inspired to be on mission. Because the vitality and influence of any organization depends on the maturity and effectiveness of their team members, Critical Skills for Emerging Leaders focuses on how to engage those team members and maximize their kingdom impact.
I thought this was the most useful conference that I have attended on leadership to date. It gave relevant, tactical information that I can clearly use with my team. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at the conference.

This is your opportunity to develop your personal leadership style, enabling you to analyze and develop within your organization. This course will make you proficient in personal leadership analysis and development. But most importantly, it will help you to build cultural awareness for your organization to serve on mission.
I had multiple instances throughout the week where I thought to myself “I wish so-and-so from my organization could be here for this session! We have been talking about this and I think they could really benefit.” The topics were very relevant to the type of ministry/organization I am working in.
