Lead Like Jesus Encounter

Leadership doesn’t have to be confusing. Jesus showed us the way.  We’ve discovered that true leadership doesn’t start with skills and knowledge – but with character and integrity. We provide a proven pathway towards transformational leadership – centered around the person of Jesus.

The Lead Like Jesus Leadership Encounter has been developed by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges. Packed with action-oriented learning and reflection, the workshop closely examines Jesus as a leader and a model while equipping participants to lead like Jesus led.

Lead Like Jesus Leadership Encounter is a highly interactive, participant-driven seven week virtual leadership development workshop that exposes common leadership misconceptions and offers a practical model based on the greatest leader role model of all time, Jesus.

The Way of the Carpenter

The Way of the Carpenter workshop is designed to help leaders discover and practice four tools of a strategic leader that Jesus used to develop His disciples.   Jesus shaped these “twelve incompetent guys” into world changers by investing in their leadership training – understanding where they were in their development as “fishers of men”, and then patiently discipling them.  This people development model can be learned and used by any leader who chooses to follow Jesus’ way of leading and discipling others.
