Join me for a FB LIVE event on Tuesday, June 25 @ 9am PST/noon EST. I will give an overview of the new resource InFocus is releasing entitled the Leadership Effectiveness Profile Online Course. As a gift I would like to give you a free survey to assess where you are on the eight critical areas in your leadership. Sign-up HERE. Hope you can join me.
There is so much on the topic of leadership that it is overwhelming to know where to start. If you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start; help is not that far away. Over the last 30+ years I’ve learned that leaders need two things to grow:
1.) A clear picture of their strengths and weaknesses
2.) A clear developmental path to follow
In this free webinar you will learn the essential areas for a leader to develop and a path to follow to grow your skills.
The WBECS Pre-Summit officially kicked off last week and even the first few sessions have been amazing.
The good news is that the summit has just begun and there is a lot more to look forward to.
Following is the session I recommend for Week #4 June 17th-21st, especially if you are interested in learning from a seasoned international coach who has worked with executives in some of the most recognized companies globally!
You can still register for over 40 online classes taught by the top thought leaders in business, executive and leadership coaching at no cost. I guarantee you will not regret this.
I can’t wait to see you in the WBECS community. Be sure to join the Facebook groups and other amazing community features as well – you are going to love them! Remember to read each of my weekly WBECS recommendations in the previous blogs as you empower leaders to multiply disciples, leaders and churches.
It’s rare that I get excited about a summit, but the one that’s starting today truly stands out to me… Because it’s unlike any other online event I’ve been to that is devoted to the topic of coaching.
As a leader, the quality of your leadership is your most valuable asset. That’s why I believe that constantly educating yourself is crucial for long-term fruitfulness. Since coaching is a tool that can help you empower your team, in disciplemaking, in developing church planters, in supporting pastors, etc. – I want you to be aware of this helpful online, FREE resource that is available to you.
And just in case you missed my last email, the WBECS Pre-Summit officially opens its doors today… And they’re kicking off the event with a selection of speakers that I know you will love.
Following is the session I recommend for Week #3 June 10th-14th, especially if you are working with a leader who is stuck & need tools to help her/him move forward!
As I’ve shared with you in the past, I’ve had an amazing experience attending WBECS – the World Business and Executive Coach Summit. I highly recommend that you take a look at this year’s inspiring line-up and register for their free Pre-Summit classes. Again, I want to provide are my recommendations for you as a leader who develops others using a coach approach for:
Each week leading up to the FREE Pre-Summit I highlight a session that might be of particular interest for you. Remember the Pre-Summit consists of 48 sessions and lasts four weeks. Week #1 is May 27th – May 31st (see previous week’s blog for my recommendations).
You can choose for yourself which ones you want to attend.
Following is the session I recommend for Week #2 June 3rd-7th; especially if you are working with teams in a cross-cultural context.
This year, WBECS will surprise you with a lot of new features. You can join panel discussions, interact with the speakers during live Q&A sessions and much more.
I truly believe that you are going to be impressed by what they have to offer. Which is why I recommend that you experience WBECS for yourself.
I love to share insights, resources and training opportunities with leaders who have a vision to increase their effectiveness.

You might know that I have attended WBECS – the World Business and Executive Coaching Summit – over the last couple of years… And their online classes have impacted the way I coach. I enjoyed learning the latest methodologies and connecting with a community of leaders taking a coach approach. Even though you may not be pursuing coaching as a vocation, this training can be helpful to develop your coaching expertise. I understand that you need to be selective with how you steward your time. That is why I have taken the time to vett the various offerings to recommend a few that might be relevant for you.
The Pre-Summit consists of 48 sessions and lasts four weeks. Week #1 is May 27th – May 31st. You can choose for yourself which ones you want to attend but I would suggest the two live coaching demos to see how world-class leaders take a coach-approach.
Here are the names of those sessions, linked to the bio of the respective leader modeling their competence:
PS: You will also get to join a global community of thriving coaches and benefit from many interactive features like panel discussions and Q&As. I highly recommend that you join the free Pre-Summit now before the most popular sessions are full.Here is the registration link for you again.
Since 2005 I been in regular contact with Colin Noyes from Brisbane, Australia. He has been a friend, colleague and coach. His thoughts on discipleship and disciplemaking are worth considering especially in the post-modern culture we encounter on a daily basis today.

Have A Clear Knowledge of Where You Are As A Leader, And How To Get Better!
I’ve found one way to engage leaders in a developmental conversation is to ask them to assess themselves.
There are a number of excellent tools out there that do a great job, providing a reliable and valid baseline that leaders trust. One tool I’ve used with dozens of leaders is called the Leadership Effectiveness Profile. It helps a leader reflect on eight key areas that every leader utilizes as she/he leads a team.
When leader’s see their profile it causes them to pause!
To enhance this exercise, InFocus in partnership with Scrappy Leader has incorporated video to highlight each of the eight competencies in the Leadership Effectiveness Profile online course. The combination of the assessment with the videos is a solid resource to help a leader take the next step in their development. Ideally, the resource works best in the context of a coaching relationship.
They are personal in that individuals have certain aspects of their personality that they emphasize or aspire to uphold.
They are corporate in that the collective values of team members capture the essence of what the organization aspires to uphold.
I’ve found that many individuals and teams are vague on their values. Case in point, how many times have you discovered a laundry list of values when you ask leaders to share/recite their personal or corporate values? I want to share with you a YouTube video that will challenge you to think through your core values and arrive at three that you will commit to memory.
The title of the YouTube video is, You Have Too Many Core Values by Storybrand founder, Don Miller. He is the author of the book, “Blue Like Jazz” that you may have read. The point he makes is worth considering for you and your team.
One of the reasons we are offering the Personal Calling Collective LIVEis to help people discover their personal values. As people take this important step they will have a greater sense of self, a greater understanding of how the Lord has created them and a greater sense of calling. I hope you can join me and my co-facilitator, Mukesh Azad in June 2019. CLICK HERE for more information.
