The S.L.I.C.E workshop and Coaching Support

We all desire to be Leaders like Jesus. We all understand Servant Leadership. We know the Biblical Imperative and the Not-so-with-you command of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And, all of us can do with some extra help when it comes to implementing the actions that will make us Servant Leaders in day to day lives and in our ministry and workplaces.

With that in view, we are offering the following services.

  • The S.L.I.C.E (Servant Leadership Imperative for Christendom Enhancement) workshop
    – (Designed as 8 x 90 minute modules that can be delivered either intensively over two full days or in modular form, based on the audience preference. In-person and virtual variants are available)
  • Optional Coaching support post the workshop

The S.L.I.C.E workshop (2 day workshop[i])

The SLICE workshop is meant for

  • Christian Leaders and Individuals , who would like to improve their leadership in any place where the Lord has placed them (in their one-to-one relationships, in their families, as a parent, in their ministries, in their community etc)
  • Churches and Christian Organisations who would like to benefit from implementing the only leadership model that Jesus commanded them to have.

The SLICE workshop helps to internalize the concepts of Servant Leadership and helps the participants to draw out an action plan to be more like Jesus when it comes to leading and influencing.

SLICE workshop uses a four-tiered approach to enable both individuals and organisations.

  • SLICE workshop is anchored on the 360 degree assessment. 360 degree assessment is rolled out typically 4 weeks in advance of the Workshop.
  • An 8×90 minute module, intensive workshop (deliverable over 2 full days or in modular fashion) designed on the 3-7-10 model , consisting of the following
    • Three Areas of Leadership
      • Visioning
      • Character
      • Relationships
    • Seven DEEP BHC behaviours that make a Servant Leader
    • Ten attributes that we need to focus on, to change our behaviours.

The workshop builds on God’s Leadership Sketch through the Bible and then takes the participants on a self-discovery journey through reflections and assessment reports. This reflection helps the participants in identifying their strengths and areas where they need to make adjustments. The highly interactive nature of the workshop helps the participants to share their plans with others and learn from others who are part of the cohort.

The workshop ends with all the participants creating a draft action plan to improve their behaviours as a Servant Leader. Each participant also identifies a potential Accountability Partner during the workshop.

The workshops will be facilitated by Certified Servant Leadership Champions (CSLC’s) who are chosen with “Faith First” philosophy

This workshop is unique in so many ways.

  1. It examines the progress of God’s Leadership Sketch through the Bible, providing a firm Foundation for the Conviction that is needed for being a Servant Leader.
  2. It considers the Church History and highlights the mistakes our forefathers have done in not obeying the not-so-with-you command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This makes it Confessional for the participants.
  3. Provides a set of 7 behaviours we call the DEEP BHC behaviours, established through research in the making of a Servant Leader. This makes Servant Leadership Observable for the participants.
  4. We map these DEEP BHC behaviours to 10 attributes that will help us develop those behaviours as habits. All backed by Biblical examples and stories. This makes it Developable for the participants.
  5. A 360 degree Survey (based on research at Doctoral Thesis level) on the DEEP BHC behaviours. This makes Servant Leadership Personal for the participants.
  6. A Practice Guide to implement actions that the leader can arrive at based on the 360 degree assessment. This makes Servant Leadership Practical for the participants.
  7. A template to capture the significant changes one can see in oneself, and its impact on our life and work, after taking action based on the workshop. This makes it Beneficial for the participants.
  8. A Coaching support system that will help them convert their “good intentions” into tangible actions. This makes it Supported and Enduring for the Participants.

Coaching Support – post workshop (Optional)

We know that implementing actions by ourselves is not easy. In addition, Our research shows the impact that can be generated out of  the workshop is highly dependent on the following

  • The Quality of the Action Plans. Our observation is the that at the beginning, we all make actions plans based on what we can immediately control. This might not necessarily the most impactful areas. Hence we believe that the action plans will need to go through a few iterations before it can be expected to deliver impactful changes in behaviour.
  • The Clarity on direction of the actions: We are dealing with behaviour changes and hence it might appear nebulous to the uninitiated. There are several stages in the implementation where the participants will lack clarity. The default action at these junctures will be to take the path of least resistance and once again that might not necessarily be the most impactful path.
  • The commitment and the engagement level of the Accountability Partner: In spite of very careful selection, there are limitations to the accountability partnerships, as it is a voluntary arrangement.

It is to overcome these hurdles that we offer coaching support for the participants of the S.L.I.C.E workshop. On request, we will assign certified coaches to the participants . These coaches will work with the participants to make their transformation impactful for themselves and for others around them.

In addition to these support for individual, we also offer Self-reliance plans for organisations. Organisations can become self-reliant in the transformation process, by creating their own set of  Champions, so that they can run the program themselves and lead the transformation using internal resources.

In summary, the overall support can be summarised into the four steps illustrated in the diagram

  1. 360 degree survey
  2. Customised workshops based on the audience
  3. Coaching Support
  4. Support for Self-reliance for organisations

We hope and pray that through these additional resources offered, you will become a true Servant Leader.[i] Designed as 8 x 90 minute modules that can be delivered either intensively over two full days or in modular form, based on the audience preference. In-person and virtual variants are available.
