Register Online Now! or Click here to view the brochure

The Heartbeat International Institute for Center Effectiveness is designed for key center personnel to delve deeper into the vital topics of leadership and development. This multi-day learning environment will challenge, inform and encourage. Heartbeat is partnering with the professional leadership trainers and executive coaches of Built 2 Lead and the development gurus of McConkey-Johnston.

The Institute for Center Effectiveness training qualifies toward the Life Affirming Specialist (LAS) designation.

Developing Professionals
Investing in those that lead is an investment in the ministry itself. Increasing skills, capability and knowledge is only a portion of true professional development. This intense learning environment will serve to produce lasting, powerful impact for your future leadership adventure and the team you lead. This training can help define and sharpen strengths along with uncovering “blind spots” detrimental to personal as well as center effectiveness.

A $3,000 value for just $975!

An Experience for the Experienced!
The Institute is primarily for those with some seasoning in leading a life-affirming ministry. The ideal attendee would have three or more years of experience or have attended Heartbeat’s New Director’s Oasis (or similar training) and/or an annual PRC training conference.
