Leadership Cohorts
Get practical, hands-on training and 1-to-1 coaching from experts.
Pastors must receive the practical tools and skills needed to feel empowered to lead in a world they weren’t prepared for.
The Challenge Facing Pastors
Seminaries effectively prepare their graduates for 50% of the pastoral role – the spiritual and theological half. But the other 50% can’t be taught in a classroom. Leadership and organizational management skills can only develop in the real world.
Our coaches and facilitators guide pastors through building a healthy, effective ministry with a clear vision, a cohesive leadership team, and a healthy spiritual foundation.
Our goal is transformational Kingdom impact.
Our hands-on, personalized approach provides practical skills and incorporates key relational touchpoints with trained coaches to produce significant, long-term change.
Cohort Program Overview
Our leadership cohorts address 24 of the most important topics pastors face in their roles. Our program begins and ends with data-driven insights from assessments that heighten self-awareness and track personal and professional growth. Engaging in workshops or retreats allows for dynamic discussion, encouragement, and community. Each participant receives 1-to-1 executive coaching sessions that leverage our unique coaching model throughout the cohort program.
1. Assessment
The Assessments
Our cohorts leverage data-driven insights as the first step in heightening self-awareness to spark transformation. At the start of each cohort, participants take a pre-assessment to establish a baseline and target growth areas. Then, at the conclusion of the cohort, participants retake the assessment and are often wowed by their personal and professional growth.
The Judgment Index
The Judgment Index assesses a person’s value system and capacity for good judgment. It is not an intelligence, EQ, or personality test but one of the most highly mathematical and scientifically based assessment instruments ever created.
EQi
As we like to say at Anágo Partners, what brought you to your place of leadership isn’t what will keep you there and allow you to grow. Effective leaders need more than good IQs–more importantly, they need healthy EQs. Anágo Partners has partnered with the makers of the EQi–the Emotional Quotient Inventory–to assess each leader around the skills and competencies associated with how we explore and understand both our internal and external worlds. The EQi looks at our perception and expression of ourselves, how we develop and maintain relationships, cope with challenges, and use our EQ to lead ourselves and others effectively.
2. Curriculum
The Curriculum
Our curriculum was developed to bridge the gap between seminary education and the leadership and management skills required to lead a flourishing church. We have curated a reading list of influential authors covering 24 of the most crucial topics to guide transformation and upskill leadership. Our digital workbooks guide participants through each of these topics with moments of self-discovery, questions to prompt group discussions in the workshops or retreats, and personal reflection ahead of their coaching sessions.
A sampling of our TOPICS:
Spiritual Leadership & Teams / Prayer / Missional Design & Communication / Gospel Renewal / Executive Effectiveness / Shepherding Yourself / Shepherding Your Family / Recruiting, Hiring & Training / Team Building / Evangelism, Mercy & Justice / Managing People & Projects / Building Gospel Community / Organizational Health / Coaching & Developing Leaders / Resilience in Ministry . . . and more!
3. Coaching
The Coaching
All of our participants receive 1-to-1 virtual coaching sessions. Informed by data from the pre-assessment, our coaches can pinpoint areas of burnout and specifically coach toward health. Like any coaching session, each conversation begins with discovery questions, and everything shared is confidential.
Hybrid Coaching Model
Our unique coaching model is a hybrid approach that seamlessly integrates counseling, mentoring, consulting, and coaching. This allows our experienced team of coaches to utilize various tactics to best serve the client’s needs at any given moment.
4. Community
The Community
City-based in-person workshops or retreats are utilized for participants to engage in the curriculum, receive confidential support, provide encouragement, and upskill their leadership. Often, peer-to-peer coaching organically unfolds as intimacy and fellowship grow.
