For years we have all bemoaned the “silos” and team-dynamic frustrations of working on a church staff – with little actual effective tools and resources to collaborate across program areas being offered. For too long church staffs have relied on “let’s work together better” as a strategy with no real tangible results. Year after year, many of the same frustrations surface. Additionally, the burnout rates of church staff members (and especially clergy) are spiking across the country.

It’s time to RETHINK TEAM…

The “Rethinking Team” workshop is an opportunity for your team to pause, assess strengths and recalibrate their working functions. During the “Rethinking Team” sessions, we will walk through a powerful tool for productivity, teamwork and joy discovery called the “6 Types of Working Genius.” This model was created by Patrick Lencioni and has been deployed in companies, organizations and churches across the world. Using the assessment and findings as a building block, we will work specifically with your team to craft tangible next steps for their work together. Sprinkling in some Enneagram wisdom, team dysfunction research and leadership expertise, the time together will be fun, informative, revelatory and inspiring.

This is not a stock “seminar” to be consumed by your team, this is an engaging and cooperative effort to build on the strengths and gifts of the team. Utilizing open conversation and dreaming, modeling vulnerability and allowing the team to express fears, frustration and values, the time together will certainly be beneficial.

The workshop is designed to take place over two separate sessions, separated by about a month. Each session is 3-hours long and is fast-paced, engaging and fun. 

Session #1

9 am – “What’s the Problem?”

10 am – An Introduction to “The 6 Types of Working Genius”

11 am – “Team Impact, What’s Next and a Big Challenge”

12 pm – End

Session #2

9 am – “Digging Deeper”

10 am – “Creative Destruction”

11 am – “Creating Imagination” (Practical Next Steps)

12pm – End

The single biggest differentiator between “Rethinking Team” is the focus on process combined with personality. While the “Working Genius” has components of “self-discovery,” the emphasis is on how each persons unique God-given gifts might yield a more productive and joy-filled team. And while the “Rethinking Team” program uses the Working Genius as a tool, it is more robust that a “Working Genius” training session. It incorporates elements from a variety of resources and lived-experience from the facilitator while offering interactive and collaborative process for you team to give input into the next season together.

Here’s what others are saying about “Rethinking Team”:

“From the start, it was clear that Evan had done his homework—he arrived with a detailed slide deck, charts and a deep understanding of our team’s individual strengths and weaknesses. His thorough prep allowed him to tailor insights specifically to our team structure, highlighting unique strengths and offering guidance on how we could better support each team member’s role.”
