Am I allowed to come if I’m not able to

On a case-by-case
basis we understand that there will be a conflict in schedules that is why
there are a few different leader-training events. If you’re unable to attend one of them in their entirety
than you will need to get permission from Field Support.
What is “Leading From Your Strengths” and
why do I have to take it before coming to the training?
“Through
a quick and simple online assessment, you will immediately receive a
comprehensive, objective, personal and encouraging report. You will gain
tremendous insight into your natural strengths and how those strengths are
operating in your life and the way in which you lead
(missionsinsight.com).” We want to
get to know you and learn about your strengths, how you work well in a team and
be able to empower you to be a great leader!
