I Used to Run Things

Welcome! It was an exciting experience back in February to fly to Timisoara, Romania, and do a one-week NCD training that was video taped by a Christian TV station. All the video material has been edited over the last months and is now available (in English) on DVD, tape, and multimedia CD-ROM (with PowerPoint slides on the same screen as the video). The purpose of recording this training week was to make a complete and high quality NCD training available to pastors and their implementation teams (and also to NCD coaches) at low costs -- and without being dependent on seminar dates or going abroad. We hope you will find these new resources helpful for your ministry and appreciate your feedback. You can also view a demo video (low quality) online here (CD-ROM version) and here (DVD version).

In the last issue of eNCDine (August 2004) we started to look at the impact of leadership on church health and growth and how to match leaders with congregations. What spiritual gift mix should the pastor have? What kind of spiritual gifting of a pastor matches churches with higher and lower scores? What are the suitable spiritual gifts of a pastor in a church with a higher score for empowering leadership? What does the international NCD database tell us about these matters? ―> more...

The Rare Power of Listening

Although there are many ingredients to successful coaching, the most important one by far is listening. It's the essential cornerstone of every coaching relationship. How do you get to know someone? By listening. How do you build trust? By listening. How do you help people think through their goals, their options, their feelings? By listening. People want to know they are being heard. How many times have you heard yourself or others ask: "Do you know what I mean?" Real listening is rare. ―> more...
