The Flow of Each Day:

Morning: After breakfast, we will start each day around 9:00 a.m. with a structured “classroom” setting. Certain concepts will be presented to help you understand the overall leadership frame from which Vision Trekk is derived. In addition, you will be exploring a bit more of yourself to assist you in being an Incarnational-Missional leader. We will teach until lunch, around noon. Don't worry, we'll take breaks!

Afternoon: We want to drive home the concept presented in the morning classroom setting by having you engage in an afternoon experiential activity. These activities will be tough! You will have to mentally process what you learned that morning as you physically engage in a strenuous activity. These will start shortly after lunch and go until about 4:00 p.m. giving you an hour or so before dinner and debrief time.

Evening: Debrief, debrief, debrief. After dinner around 6:00 p.m., the evenings will be the time to make sense of what happened throughout the day. If you are confused or frustrated, hang in there until the evening. We will help you unpack all that is going on inside of you! We will be done for the night around 8:00 p.m. so you can get plenty of sleep!

The Flow of Topics:

Day One: Framing the Conversation. You will learn about the Incarnational Missional way of living, influencing, and leading. You will see how presence, proximity to others, powerlessness, and proclamation all work together to lead and influence others.

Day Two: Character matters. Anyone who leads others needs to take a good look at their character and ask themselves: “What am I modeling in my character/how am I influencing others with my character?” The Character Matrix will help us examine our character on day two.

Day Three: Strengths we bring. Leading or influencing is most organic when done from our strengths. Do you know what strengths you have? The Clifton Strengths Finder will help you identify what your dominant strengths are.

Day Four: Interacting with Others. If you are leading, you are interacting with others. Questions you need to wonder about are: How am I interacting? Why am I interacting this way? The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator will help us talk about how we are wired and how we then interact with others.

Day Five: Best fit for leading. Practically speaking, where are you best fit to lead or influence others? APEST is a tool that will help to identify where you are gifted to lead so you can choose opportunities that “fit” you instead of just doing whatever is asked. We want to empower you to lead where you were meant to lead.
