THURSDAY

PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS

Church Leaders’ Round Table
Pre-Conference session for church leaders (staff and volunteers) who want to discuss how they can best equip and send B4T professionals and support the B4T movement within their church community.

A New Way to Train B4T Coaches
B4T coaching is essential. It brings help to those doing some of the most difficult things on the planet! How can we do better? What skills could we add or strengthen that would be of greatest value to B4T practitioners? What can we learn from each other? A concentrated look at some fundamentals, a bit of practice, and feedback from the field will all be a part of this 1-day session. Here are some of the topics that will be covered:

• Who’s behind the wheel? How to keep the B4T worker in the driver’s seat
• Effective coaching models
• Working with unique B4T challenges
• What’s in your toolbox?
• What hat to wear, and when
