Practical Not Just Magical Lessons from Walt Disney 

by Dr. Greg Wiens

 

Recently, I researched the life and leadership of Walt Disney. He was an amazing man.  I am not sure where his personal faith stood with Christ, but I am convinced he is a model from which followers of Christ can learn valuable lessons.  (While growing up, I figured he wasn't a Christian because the "Wonderful World of Disney" was on at 7:30pm Sundaywalt disney nights when I had to be in church. Those weren't the days of TIVO.)

 

Did you know that he grew up amidst very ordinary circumstances?   He was pretty much just like you and me.

Emotional Intelligence Workshop

August 22, 2011

10:00am - 3:00pm

Indiana Ministries

 

What makes a person successful and effective in ministry?  It might surprise you that along with a vibrant relationship with God, one of if not the most critical factors has to do with the pastor's Emotional Intelligence. 

 

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a model for leadership success for both the tasks we must complete and the important relationships that are critical to impactful outcomes. Many experts say that leadership comes down to two primary objectives: leading change and leading relationships.  Leading both change and relationships brings tension and complexity into the life and role of the leader. Understanding and managing the impact that emotions can have on leaders is one step that can lead to success.

The overall goal of this workshop is to improve the participant's awareness of the impact emotions have on behaviors, decision-making, and judgment. The workshop will include a valid and reliable self-assessment, a workbook, and several work tools that can be used to continue the leader development journey.

 

This IM sponsored training event will be led by Scott Livingston (http://www.integratei.com/).   Scott is an Executive Coach and Leadership Development expert who understands the role EI plays in ministry, as well as business and other areas.

 

Cost:

Pastors, Lay Leaders & Persons in the IM Credentialing process:  $60

SHAPE Participants: $25

 

Cost includes an in-depth EI assessment tool and lunch. You can register by clicking here or emailing Cassandra:cmichel@indianaministries.org.
