Who would benefit from this cohort?
The Multicultural Teamwork Cohort is for global workers and ministry partners who would like to become healthier and more effective team members.
Improve your teaming skills and learn how God can use your gifts to empower teammates of other cultures. How do you create meaningful goals in a diverse team? How do you make decisions when communication styles and values are so different? How do you resolve conflict?
What is a Learning Cohort?
A Learning Cohort is a group of 10-20 people who gather to focus on 1 meaningful ministry topic during 2 days of in-person training and 3 months of reflective practice supported by coaching huddles.
Each cohort is designed to promote practical application that fits your unique ministry context. Training is led by facilitators with expertise in the subject matter, and the huddles are led by skilled coaches who help you identify actions that are meaningful for you and your ministry. Participants commit to do assigned reading in the focus area, participate in the 2- day face-to-face gathering, and participate in a virtual small group huddle (6 meetings over 3 months).
What is expected?
1 book: Leading Multicultural Teams, by Evelyn & Richard Hibbert
2 days: Our cohort will meet together for two days. We will discuss and practice the key topic areas, and you will leave with some personal goals that you can put into practice in your own ministry.
3 months: Learning huddles will meet virtually once every two weeks (six times), from March through May. As you practice the leadership principles which you find most valuable for your own ministry, the huddle provides an opportunity to share & reflect on what you are learning and to refine your goals to become a better team member.
