No keynote speaker... Really... Then why should you go... Who is the couple in the picture... They are also not the reason to attend. Unlike most speaker driven conferences, where the leaders, subject matter experts, and inspiration comes from those on stage, this National Networking Conference will have those same amazing leaders, who normally would be on stage, in the seats next to you. You should not attend for a keynote speaker... although God did provide an INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN KEYNOTE SPEAKER. You should not attend for only what you can get out of it... although you will walk away more encouraged, connected, and inspired. YOU SHOULD ATTEND TO... join others, as the body of Christ, who are beginning to see the need on our nation's greatest UNSEEN mission field. You won't want to miss this opportunity. I keep getting asked by church leaders and chaplains, what can they do for law enforcement during this difficult election season. Come learn what you can do. I keep talking to first responder ministry leaders who feel run down, discouraged, and feel like they are grinding it out alone. Come and join so many others from around the country. I keep talking to first responders and spouses who tell me they are the only Christians in their whole department. Come and be connected to others who are living out their faith well, while also serving in a difficult profession. Those attending will have two things in common: 1) Have a heart for our nation’s first responders and their families. 2) See the need for Real Hope in Christ as the solution to support and love them. Join us at this free National Networking Conference on September 20-21 in Chattanooga, TN. Online registration required because of limited space.

During today’s, UCR Staff Assembly and UCR LEAD – Staff Conference, I attended a remarkable and insightful session led by Jacob Ravenscraft on “Positive Traits to Fight the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.” Here are the pivotal lessons that I learned, igniting profound reflections on team dynamics and strategies: 🚀 Don't let fear dictate trust; instead, strive for vulnerability and openness. 💡 Understanding "Working Genius" by Patrick Lencioni sheds light on seven different types of work that resonate with individuals. This awareness enables teams to optimize performance by aligning tasks with strengths and interests. 🤝 Conflict resolution isn't about who's right but what's right. Mastering conflict involves focusing on solutions and fostering a collaborative environment where every voice is valued. 💬 Decision-making in teams requires trust and transparency. Remember, silence often signifies disagreement, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up. 📌 Prioritizing team buy-in is essential for success. Weighing in allows for commitment and ownership, leading to more robust decisions and outcomes. 👥 Leaders, it's essential to provide space for team input and to lead by example, embracing vulnerability, and demonstrating trust in the process. 🔍 Inspect before you expect—understanding individual and team dynamics is crucial for effective leadership and decision-making. 🌱 It's crucial to foster a healthy culture by acknowledging our faults and trusting our team to lead, especially in areas where we may feel weak. Overall, participating in Jacob's session was a transformative experience. I'm thankful for the chance to learn from such a dedicated and insightful leader. 🌟 #UCR2024StaffConference #UCRStaffAssembly #ProfessionalDevelopment #TeamDynamics #LeadershipInsights
