Tim Jaques, Founder and CEO of Teaming Worldwide, explored some of the challenges and benefits with thinking strategically. Tim walked the group through a number of exercises developed to allow participants to capture specific activities in which they engage, explore the importance and urgency of those activities, and then carve out time to focus on the most important activities (the “big rocks”). In the afternoon, we engaged in an exercise designed to review key learnings and important takeaways from all six sessions. We then developed an action plan to enhance our individual and Parish success.
