One of the most impactful three days of my Christian leadership took place in summer 1997 when I made the first of many visits to Willow Creek Community Church in Barrington, IL. Several members of our church’s leadership team attended an event called The Prevailing Church Conference. Never had I been in such a leadership intensive environment or seen such a relentless pursuit of adult conversions for Jesus Christ.
I instantly became a raving fan of Willow Creek Community Church and the Willow Creek Association. The event changed my life and I would never view leadership the same again.
This is why I am proud to announce a relationship between this site and the Willow Creek Association to promote the 2016 Global Leadership Summit (GLS) in August. Click here for all the information of the 2016 GLS including faculty and pricing plans.
Because of the kindness of GLS team, we will be offering on a bi-weekly basis a series of FREE leadership resources from Bill Hybels selected specifically for this site’s readers along with super early bird pricing ending on May 24th.
The first of these FREE resources is a complimentary download of Bill’s eBook Discovering And Developing Your Own Leadership Style. Don’t miss this as Bill helps you identify which of the 10 leadership styles you are and take 4 steps to discovering and developing your own leadership style.
Also, the team at the WCAGLS wants to invite you to participate in the GLSnext 15 Day Challenge.
The all-new GLSnext 15 Day Challenge is for serious-minded leaders who believe daily, intentional leadership development is key to reaching their maximum impact. They are challenging you to watch one leadership video every day for 15 days in a row using the GLSnext app—which is packed with hundreds of free, on-the-go, world-class videos to help you take your leadership to the next level. The WCA will then partner with you by emailing you inspiration, tips and video suggestions for every day of the challenge. It requires just a few minutes of your time each day, but holds the potential to transform the way you lead forever. Then after 15 days, they want to know how it is changing the way you lead.
To date, more than 5,000 have taken the 15 Day Leadership Challenge. Are you serious enough to take the challenge?
Once again, it is incredibly generous of the WCAGLS team to offer these complimentary resources. Make sure you and your team take full advantage of them. As Bill says, “Every wins when a leader gets better.”
On a personal note, I intend to be at the Willow Creek campus in August as part of their live blog team. I hope to see you there.
