Interested in being coached as a project leader in Ireland?

Hello Project Leaders!

I have been receiving many requests from project leaders who have gone through training within the last year, but  have not actually been coached on a trip, that they are now interested in going on a shadowing or coaching trip.  This is super exciting because we love getting our leaders out on the field to experience the fullness of what project leading entails.   Our only dilemma is that we have found that we have more people that desire to be coached than we have trips available for this fall.

Therefore…we had to find a solution.    We decided that we should really create a trip that is specifically designed to train project leaders, that would be considered a shadowing/coaching trip.  The participants of the trip would be only project leaders.  We would simply run the trip like a normal trip, doing ministry together, but we would simply take time out in the middle of what we are doing to debrief what's going on, to talk about the best way to handle things as a project leader, and spend some time coaching as well. 

As we were in the process of  discussing this idea, and potentially doing this in a domestic location, I asked "Do we have to do this in the US, or can we dream really big?"  

So then I suggested, "Why don't we do this in Ireland?"   At this point, everyone in the field support cubicle chimed in with excitment, making suggestions of what this trip could look like, and contributing their own thoughts and dreams of what ministry in Ireland would include.  

However…as much as we LOVE the idea,  we realize that we really can't pursue this dream unless you guys love it too!  After all, we can't go to Ireland to coach project leaders if project leaders aren't interested…this trip is about training you!

So, this is where you come in…  we really need your feedback:

If we planned a trip to Ireland in which you could be coached as a project leader, would you want to go?!?!?! We would run the project December 4th through 10th and we would be doing the majority of our ministry in Dublin, Ireland.  The cost of this trip would be your airfare+the cost of being a participant (this exact price is yet to be determined, based on the number of participants/project leaders being coached).

We want to start making plans soon, so if you could please let us know as soon as possible if you would be seriously interested, we would greatly appreciate it! To contact us, please email me at [email protected]
