A process of active listening to quickly offer new perspective on your leadership challenge, empowering you to take next steps to address root causes.
As a ministry leader you may face an adaptive challenge - a problem with no clear choices, known solutions, or technical fixes. Our team cares about challenges like yours. To help you take your next step forward we will bring together an interdisciplinary team of peer consultants who will listen carefully and offer possible interpretations and reframing of the challenge. Our hope is to empower you with a list of small action steps from which you can choose 3-4 to do in the next six weeks in order to get unstuck.
Time: 2 hours
This process was developed by the Kansas Leadership Center and Cambridge Leadership Associates.

The Peer Consultants
Peer consultants help you to see your challenge from new angles, considering other interpretations of the problem and ways forward. The Winter Launch Lab will provide the process facilitator and a notetaker so you can focus on listening for new insights and next steps to consider.
Our peer consultants are drawn from Frontier Ventures, particularly the Ralph D. Winter Launch Lab.
