Leadership: Always the Problem and Always the Answer
Speaker: Steve Lentz
Leaders rarely act in a vacuum. Followers are watching and often take their cues from the actions and language of their leaders.

This workshop will focus on tried-and-true principles of leadership that will inspire you to use your influence for maximum impact in the Kingdom of God and as you coach others. Real life stories of success and failure will provide a context to “finish well” and fulfill God’s calling in one’s life journey.

The Answer to Anger: Facing the Fire Within
Speaker: June Hunt, MA
Do you know someone who has anger out of control? Consider this: anger is only one letter short of danger!

The QL Coaching and Caregiving Formula: A Model for Behavioral Change
Speaker: Dwight Bain, MA

Three Biblical Tools to Help Face Unavoidable Challenges in Coaching and Caregiving

Gary Rosberg and Barb Rosberg
Finding the MORE in Your Marriage
Speaker: Gary Rosberg, PhD and Barb Rosberg
This luncheon will be a time of encouragement for both life coaches and lay caregivers to experience the “more in our marriages,” as well as for those we serve. God designed marriage as the first institution in His creation. We were created to experience companionship and togetherness, yet countless marriages live with the silent question, “Isn’t there more?” Many marriages have lost sight of how to experience the “more” of connection, intimacy, and spiritual oneness. The luncheon will both affirm God’s design for marriage and equip coaches and caregivers with helpful insights and coaching strategies.
