SUMMARY:KINDLE Healthy Leader Webinar: 'Put Your Mask on First'
DESCRIPTION:When the flight attendant gives instructions before takeoff\, one of the scripted pieces we always hear is: “Put your mask on first\, before helping others.” We tend to be so busy serving others that we often neglect taking care of ourselves. \nYou are invited to a free webinar on Monday\, Nov. 11\, from 5-6 p.m. PDT (7-8 p.m. CDT) where we will focus on what it means to set the example and be a healthy leader that multiplies healthy leaders\, led by KINDLE friend and Iowa District West staffer\, Rhonda Mohr. This is a great opportunity for staff/teams to participate together at church or from the convenience of your own home. We are a continuous work in progress as we respond to God’s great love for us in Christ Jesus. Let’s gather with that grace in mind as we seek to be more Christ-like. \nClick here to register! \nYou must register to attend live and/or receive the recording to watch later. Reach out to Emily Phoenix if you have questions. \nFounded in 2000\, the Karpenko Institute for Nurturing and Developing Leadership Excellence provides processes designed to enhance the Christ-like servant leadership of second chair ministry leaders at several levels of experience within a congregation. The goal of KINDLE webinars: “For all second chair ministry leaders to grow in wisdom and learn tools/resources that can be used to foster and multiply Christ-like servant leaders in the home\, workplace\, community and world.” Learn more at www.kindlservantleaders.org.
