The administrators I’ve met with in the last year have two things in common: (1) they’re concerned that they’re not as effective as they could be as leaders, and (2) they wish they could get others to “step up” and take more leadership responsibility.
Passing the Baton International has become known for cutting-edge training programs, but the new Conversational Leadership course is designed specifically to help leaders significantly boost their skill and unleash the leadership gifts of others.
Quick overview: What the program is all about
Conversational Leadership is a one-day workshop followed by eight weeks of conveniently scheduled, professionally-coached tele-conferences and readings all designed to boost your leadership effectiveness by preparing you to be a "coaching leader."
Three Conversational Leadership coach training classes are scheduled for this fall and I'd like to invite you to participate with our coach trainer, Roger Erdvig, and me. More info at:
http://www.passingthebaton.org/page/100241/ (or e-mail me at jeff@passingthebaton.org and I'll send you a complete 8-pg prospectus that proves how valuable this program can be)
The in-person workshops for the three groups this fall are in Atlanta, GA (Oct. 10-11), San Jose, CA (Oct. 17) and Washington DC (Nov. 14-15).
The cost is just $675 including the one-day in-person program, weekly tele-classes, guided peer coaching, textbook and comprehensive notebook.
Why Conversational Leadership is so important to your professional development
Effective leadership depends on the leader's character, vision and fortitude. Yet one core element of successful leadership is often overlooked: the everyday, "on the ground" relationships that leaders have with their followers.
Think about it. In a typical day a leader will explain, discuss, ask questions, listen, mentor, reprove, encourage, negotiate, persuade, describe, justify and intervene. Without these vital communication skills, you'll never reach your full potential:
* If you can't connect with people, they won't enlist in your vision.
* If people can't relate to you, they won't embrace your values.
By completing the Conversational leadership course you'll be prepared to:
*Listen carefully and intuitively to what others are saying, validating them as individuals and providing space for them to generate--and take ownership for--creative solutions to the complex challenges they face.
*Ask your team members powerful questions which help to uncover new ideas and plans for how they can best succeed in life and in work.
*Gently guide team members toward worthy goals and specific action plans, that launch them toward the successful completion of those goals.

Toward more effective, God-honoring leadership,
