The training has been most useful with assistant pastors with whom I work I challenge them to stop always acting like the big guy. I’ve started being more clear about my expectations as their “manager”- that I expect them to be open and good at listening and at not judging. ... I must always remind them to just gather information first, without seeing themselves as the one to fix the problem. It’s also related to trust. When I stop and remind myself that I need to trust these people and respect them I find that I’m always more open.
