From previous modules we all know that Jim brings with him practical and relevant solutions to leadership challenges.

His experience with leaders from a diverse group of non-profit organizations gives him keen insight into the challenges of leaders, including the area of staffing.

Our second presenter, Greg Ligon, is on staff at Leadership Network.

Greg has been with Leadership Network since 1997.

He currently serves as Vice President of Church Innovations and Publisher.

Greg will share the current trends in mega churches as well as the trends in church staffing.
