Use Training to Support Complex Movement Change

Ross has used training to initiate, implement, and embed complex change at the organizational and movement level. Participant-Centered training is a powerful tool to create need for change, instill vision, achieve buy-in, and embed the skills and paradigms that lead to successful change.

Refine and deepen your leadership pipeline strategy, systems, and training design to create a church-wide or movement-wide leadership pipeline.
