Mindset First: How To Achieve Conflict Transformation

The WNCC Leadership Development Team and the Arbinger Institute have teamed up to bring clergy and laity a transformational workshop.

This event will help individuals and teams move from the default self-focus of an "inward mindset” (which invites resistance and conflict) to the mission-focus of an outward mindset. 
 
Participants will be given tools to: 

1. Be self-aware of their own mindset and its impact on themselves, others, and the higher mission
2. Improve their influence as a leader even with those who are resistant 
3. Locate, address, and transform conflicts
4. Re-conceive their work in ways that are more productive and helpful

The leader of this workshop is Mike Merchant, a senior consultant for the Arbinger Institute. 

Mike will be presenting "live" at our primary location at St. Luke's UMC in Hickory.  Satellite locations will be live-streaming the presentation, with real-time, interactive opportunities with fellow participants at each location.  You are invited to join us at St. Luke's (Hickory), or any of the following satellite locations:
