Take an inventory of your professional relationship using a set of components that are critical to a successful working relationship.
- Are you aware of one another's work styles?
- Are your work assignments clear?
- Have you shared your "compelling calling" with one another?
- Are you both in agreement as to the identification of the "hill?"
- Have each of you discovered your Driving Energizing Abilities?
- Is the scope of authority clear for each of you?
- Do you know how to take the relationship to the next level of trust?
This clinic will be for you if you want to grow in these and other vital areas.
- Read comments on past XPastor events
- The XP-SP Relationship Clinic will be held immediately before our 3rd Annual Mentoring Clinic on May 10-11. Come to both for a special price!
The XP-SP Relationship Clinic
Are you tired of being a "number" at a seminar with thousands in attendance? Want to talk about significant issues with a small group of people who are leading churches? Have you hit a plateau in the Executive Pastor & Senior Pastor relationship?
- This will be a limited gathering of 20 Senior Pastor and Executive Pastor partnerships (you must come together to attend). Come ready to talk and share your ministry and issues.
- Renew, refocus and enjoy a deeper friendship. Through the preparation work, dig into a deeper relationship.
- Grow your relationship. Learn from others about their XP-SP relationship. Make new friends at the clinic and grow with your XP or SP.
- Prepare through various readings & two conference calls. Yes, there is work, but all good things require diligent effort.
Who should attend?
- This is open to Senior Pastors and Executive Pastors who come as a team. It takes two to tango and both need to be present at the clinic.
What you will learn?
In-depth diagnosis with the Birkman Indicator. See www.birkman.com for more information. Product brochures are available. A $500 value with a 47 page series of reports. When David took the Birkman 15 years ago, he wondered, "were they looking over my shoulder?"
- Strengths and Needs report
- Stress report (how you respond to it, not how to create it!)
- Coaching report
- Difference to Watch Report(in-depth look at the unique ways you can work together)
- and more!
Surveys
- Spouse and child survey (for your eyes only)
- Self-survey (an exercise in reflection)
- Leadership survey by your staff and key volunteers
Learn the critical components of a healthy XP-SP relationship. Dr. Baxter shares the key components that provide for a healthy personal relationship between the Executive Pastor and the Senior Pastor. He will lead each XP-SP partnership to examine their own relationship against key relationship components.
Learn through the prep materials and two conference calls prior to the workshop. After enrolling, Dr. Baxter will contact you to walk through the assignments to help you best prepare for the clinic.
