Becoming more realistic and aware of my leadership style and how that impacts others.
Acknowledging staff better.
I was affirmed by others' opinions and challenged by their observations.
I discovered that there are no significant areas for development that I was not already aware of. I felt assured that I am not missing something.
I received affirmations in some areas of ministry and some clear indications of where I have been lacking in decision-making and follow-through.
I was able to articulate what it is that I need to work on as opposed to just nothing that I needed to improve without any real direction.

A much more realistic grasp of where my leadership skills lie, and from what sources I draw my energy to lead. A view on managing from others.
This remains to be seen. Will I fulfill the expectations and create achievable goals or will it all just sit on the shelf.
Clearly defined areas of improvement with strategies to address them.
An appreciation for all the skill sets that contemporary pastors need to have mastered.
A better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.

Set aside time to look at my strengths and weaknesses and develop a personal plan for improvement.
Added insight into various skills and talents.
I was able to learn areas of improvement in leadership from several different viewpoints.

Learning more about myself. I am currently working with a coach to write a strategic plan for my workplace. This is something I have never done, but I feel very confident with the process.
Awareness of my strengths in different contexts of leadership.
Feedback from direct reports.
Having the time and guidance to analyze feedback in a way that led to tangible goals and action steps.
Just better awareness of what my co-workers, in particular thought of our relationship.
Candid feedback from co-workers.

Concrete examples of how others view my working relationship with them and a snapshot of areas of improvement that I should consider working. It was also an opportunity to accept genuine feedback on my strengths, offering these gifts up to God as a blessing bestowed on me.
I gained practical skills and tools to be successful in this training. I also gained a network of resources through other members of the cohort and the coaches network.
More self-insight.
Awareness of steps to improve my leadership is one particular context.
Insights re: how others perceive me.
It is always beneficial to receive feedback; it is far more fruitful to then have resources/supports in place to craft goals that can be successfully implemented. This process has allowed for such implementation.
Much more self-knowledge.
Insights into how I can improve and better serve the Church.
