I enjoyed two days this week at the Hermitage in Mittagong with the Chaplaincy Corps of the Australian Army.

Theological Reflection and Stages of Leadership Development

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
