Content for new staff
From the model of the Partner Triangle, we have developed Eight Building Blocks that are necessary in order to be biblically and emotionally equipped to create a team of partners. We start with a Preparation phase before talking about the Construction phase (0 to 100% budget), that is followed by the Development phase (staying on 100% long term).
We have a free Preview of our Online Learning Environment available. You can make an account an already see some of the elements that will be part of our training. The full online training cannot be entered without the full live-training: because we believe you learn best in a cohort of other learners. Welcome to join!
