I’m going to be hosting two live online webinars on Supervising Your Staff Team in the month of June.

Part 1 of the Series takes place on Tuesday, June 8 from 1:00-2:00 PM (Eastern) and is titled  Setting Performance Expectations for Your Staff. This webinar will help supervisors to think about the nature of employment relationships in the church and how to establish meaningful performance expectations for employees.  This online learning opportunity will help supervisors  to think about their role as a supervisor within a covenantal community. Are employment relationships in the church different in significant ways from other jobs? How is supervising different from coaching, pastoral care, are any other type of one on one helping relationship? Participants in this webinar will learn how to construct a job description as a meaningful and useful tool of performance management and accountability.

Part 2 of the series will be hosted on Tuesday, June 15 from 1:00-2:00 PM (Eastern) and is titled Building and Delivering Effective Staff Feedback. Participants will learn how to craft and deliver three distinctly different kinds of performance feedback messages:

• the daily feedback conversation
• the quarterly progress conversation
• the annual performance review

We’ll examine the ways that employees sometimes deflect or sidetrack feedback and show you some helpful ways to keep your message on point.

I hope that you’ll consider joining me for these two live events. You can register to participate at alban.webex.com
