Developing lay leaders to influence change

Published On : 28 Nov 2016   |  Reported By : media release


There couldn’t be a better time to state that the world is in dire need of transformational Leaders. This is evident from the fact that billions across the world waited in anticipation for the results of the Donald Trump - Hillary Clinton showdown only because we believed that a leader who occupies this position influences the world!

Within our Catholic community, how often do we associate ourselves with leadership roles? Our fast-paced lives and lack of enthusiasm to be involved beyond the scope of our routine activities, often makes us take a backseat and remain mere spectators to the contexts of our lives. Many would say “I am no President or Clergy Association Head to influence a large number of people”. However, at deeper level we need to understand that leadership is influence. It is the intention, courage and personal leadership skills that we display as we go about our everyday lives that can really bring change. In other words, ‘your power’ can influence positive change.

‘Power to Lead’ is a unique value based leadership movement that inspires and equips lay Christians with practical leadership skills to first transform themselves and then extend this transformation to others within their homes, their community and society as a whole.
This 6-month intensive training programme blends leadership with Biblical values. Each course includes workshop-based sessions, project work, team activities, networking events and personal mentoring. It enables participants to maximize their personal and spiritual growth, become servant leaders and agents of positive social transformation.

After a decade of empowering more than 350 leaders, Power to Lead inaugurated its 11th batch in August 2016. The participants are a vibrant group from diverse backgrounds like, entrepreneurs, social workers, doctors, IT and Finance professionals, teachers, managers and homemakers.

A distinguished faculty of industry professionals and clergy conduct sessions on topics like value based leadership, spirituality of Christian leaders, servant leadership, managing time and priorities, prophetic leadership, team building and communication skills among others thus equipping participants with practical leadership skills needed in today’s world. At the moment, batch 11 is midway through the program and have gone through two live-ins. Participants have worked on the project ‘Discovering my Personal Mission’ while a team project is underway. Testimonials of participants indicate that they are benefitting a great deal with perspective changes and skill enhancement. “PTL to me is a platform that beings out the best in you and makes you ready for the challenges of life” says Reuben Moorthy, Batch 011 (2016-17)



The Alumni is also active and meets regularly for a breakfast networking workshop. To be a part of this life changing programme and gain the ‘POWER TO LEAD”, visit www.powertolead.net, email contact@powertolead.net or call 8652252935.
