After ten years of working nearly every day with change leaders in over 100 settings, we have discovered that there are a handful of mistakes that the best leaders make when trying to bring change. This Seminar will focus on the old mindset, the new skill sets, and the adaptive reset needed to wisely take a church community through the change and disruption that has impacted all of us in the past few years.
