What does it take to be an influential leader in a volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and secular environment? Leaders are bombarded with so many demands every day in what seems to be a constantly changing world. How can we hear from God’s word and apply it faithfully, serve with integrity and be those who are sent to transform society?

The Influential Leadership Workshop will answer those questions and is part of the Keswick Ministries’ new teaching and training events held as part of the Derwent Project and is being arranged in partnership with Forge Leadership.

This workshop is aimed at leaders of Churches, leaders in the Corporate, Public Sector, Third Sector and small businesses and in a very real, open, supportive environment will help you become more alive in your role, more secure in your identity, more invested in your character development and more influential in your relationships.

 It is suitable for anyone in a leadership role who has oversight of people, resources and plans. Typically this will be a lead or associate pastor or a member of a leadership team, a CEO or member of a senior leadership team of a small or medium sized charity or business, or a department head or manager within a larger corporate structure.

Come prepared to be honest, open, challenged and changed and you will find that you meet Jesus in a new way, return refreshed and ready for your next challenge and look at the issues you face from a completely new perspective.

Each delegate should have prepared, in advance, a review of their current leadership situation and an analysis of the challenges they currently face. By the end of the week, delegates will have been supported to develop a personal development plan and will be partnered with other leaders to support them through the application.

Each day there will be time for devotions, worship and spiritual reflection on leadership issues led by John Russell. Each day, delegates will work closely with Simon Barrington and Ceri Harris who will help leaders develop their own personal development plan based on 5 I’s of Leadership : Intimacy with Jesus, Identity in Christ, Integrity of character, Inner Strength and Influence. Simon has pioneered this approach to leadership development during his 14 years in business at senior level in a large corporate and during his 14 years as Chief Executive of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

The workshop format will be dynamic, interactive, and demanding. It brings out and develops each individual’s gifting and addresses each individual’s situation, rather than giving a formulaic grid.
