Today’s churches need leaders with real-world experience to respond to rapidly changing environments, diverse cultures, and the increasing use of technology and multimedia. If you were to survey your church you would discover that there are people in your congregation who are currently working in business, health care, human services, education, and non-profit environments who feel the call to ministry. They feel a call to apply what they know to a new ministry or an existing one. Many of these people are used to state-of-the-art techniques, in-service training, and rapid turn-around time on projects.

The question is this: how do you train people who are already established in a career – either within the church or in the marketplace – and prepare them for Christian ministry? How do you take potential church leaders to the next level of ministry?

Micromessaging: Why Great Leadership Is Beyond Words

Should you sweat the small stuff?
Absolutely, says Stephen Young-especially when it comes to those critical behaviors that can make or break performance.

Micromessaging examines those critical behaviors we all blindly use and react to in dealing with others. Young, one of the foremost experts on leadership says, "The power of leadership rests in one's fluency in speaking the language of influence and motivation. Micromessages are the Heart and soul of leadership."

Based on research from MIT, Young's approach has already helped numerous Fortune 500 clients, including Merck, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Starbucks, IBM, Boeing, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Cisco, and Raytheon to increase leadership effectiveness. With its proven wisdom, you can experience what so many business executives worldwide have discovered and make it a powerful part of your leadership skill set.
