The Leadership Development Course Phase 1 November 2011 is fast approaching! 

 

Leadership Development is a training programme run for Camp and Mission volunteers. The course is run in two stages  - Phase 1 which takes place in November 2011 and Phase 2 which will be running in February/March 2012. 

 

Phase 1 is for those who show leadership potential and their team leaders would like to develop for future leadership roles. It's an opportunity for both SU and the team leaders to invest time in these volunteers, help them think through the area of leadership and develop the obvious gifts they already have in that field.

 

Phase 2 is for those volunteers who are stepping up into leadership roles within their teams. This may be as overall leader, assistant leader, section leader or taking responsibility for one particular area of their camp or mission.

 

We're excited about this year's Leadership Development Course Phase 1 as we've lots of new potential leaders who sprung up from our summer teams!  If your leader has recommended you for this course then you wil have received an email and a letter of invitation from us.   

 

This year's course will take place on 3 consecutive Thursday evenings during November 2011 - Thursday 10th, 17th and 24th.  Each session will take place in the Scripture Union office from 7.30 - 9.30pm.

 

We will take you through 3 interactive teaching sessions all focused on your leadership potential!
Thursday 10th November-
You and God - Led by Sara Graham (Chairperson of the Camps & Missions committee).  This session will explore attitudes of the heart and allow you to think through your relationship with God - the most important step in being a person of influence.
 
Thursday 17th November-
Tools for Leadership - Led by Helen Warnock (Director of SUNI).  A practical 'toolbox' session giving you advice on how to lead - whether you're leading now or will be in the future.
 
Thursday 24th November-
Developing your Gifts - Led by Julie Mehaffy (Volunteer Development Officer).  This session will focus on the person God has made you to be.  What are your gifts and how can you develop them?
 
After the 3 sessions are complete we would love you to meet with your leader to share some of what you have learned through the course and how this might influence you next summer or as you serve God in other capacities.
