WORKING GENIUS

Discover how you personally get things done and how you can utilize and activate your own “geniuses” within your team. Most personality tests are 90% personality and 10% work. Working Genius, a program developed by best-selling author, Will Mancini, is 90% work and 10% personality. Discover where you find and sustain energy and what things drag you down.

WALKING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

God’s Word for you can be summed up into 13 Truths that are applicable for your own heart, the heart of your coworkers and the hearts of the students you serve. This module offers practical ways to share those truths with the people that Jesus has put into your life and even your own heart as you face the inevitable challenges of living and working in this world.

WHO ARE YOU AS A LEADER? 

God has made each of us unique, which means we are each unique in the way that we lead. It you are simply copying someone else, it is impossible to lead intuitively or effectively.
