new business ventures starting tomorrow

So what is the feel of this new business ?

coaching, training, speaking, lecturing, writing mostly focused around leadership and personal development.

I'm hoping to develop a website before big launch in New Year but the business is sooooo multi-facetted.. here's some of the stuff I will be doing.

1. coaching 1to1 with business executives and others wanting to grow in their lives and careers - some are booked already. If you know of anyone who would appreciate 1to1 coaching do get them to contact me.
2. Lecturing on Leadership Issues on  B.Th and Masters degree courses.
3. Some training in understanding and working with postmodern generations
4. Child Protection Training for various organisations.
5. Setting up and running courses on missional leadership
6. Some speaking opportunities booked.
7. Training and coaching church planters.
8. Some 1to1 coaching with some young peopole in a local school who apparently "need it"
9. Developing online social networking tools for missional leaders
10. Developing some personal development tools and resources
11. lots of other possibilities, my mind is so full with them. But I need to turn dream into reality, stretch but not explode myself ...

It really has been amazing seeing the business flowing in but nothing can be taken for granted, it's also dead scary as I look at my little kids and worry/pray about their future.

For those interested I'll be blogging lots more here and on my new business sites when they are up and running

the sun has set on my old role

Here is a photo of my new desk complete with ancient/future candle/laptop thing - it's great and I'm loving it, although it's not actually hanging off the wall at such an obtuse angle. New things all start up tomorrow !!!!

starting a cool role with Exeter Network Church planting "Kingdom things" and expressions of church among young families.

starting coaching, training, speaking and lecturing business focused around leadership development especially.

Working for Diocese 2 days a week until Christmas advising on Youth Work.

It really is something I've been dreaming about for ages and now the challenge of dream into reality, not an easy task for this old dreamer but important for me to make that transition, spouting stuff on the web and through lectures/training sessions is one thing, developing a vibrant church is another, asking people to pay me to do the things I enjoy most (training/coaching) is another too. I'll be blogging a lot more in the future, this blog will provide a necessary outlet I feel - "confessions of a church planting addict" - I can see the book now!

playing with the look of my blog

Do tell me what you think of the new styles, Hope all is well with you. Do use online messenger status info in right column and text me using any of these tools, skype, yahoo or MSN.

Bye

Hello from the pew

Sitting at church : russell, my current church leader is expounding core values of this church. Including ....

Leadership is not a position but a function. Nothing happens without leadership - without someone making it happen.
Leadership is everywhere, not just in the local church. Leading in the local community ... the unsung heros.

Some pretty good stuff

Going to www.globalistic.net this week with a launch at Greenbelt. Then some holiday weeks with the family, making memories for the kids.
