Leadership Tips & Training Simple Ideas ~ Class Projects & Live It Tracker Idea

Class Projects 

Dee Schmidt, Wichita, KS

·         Bring old health magazines to class. Divide the class into four teams.  Instructions are to find five truths in the magazines and five lies. Each team will explain their reasoning behind their choices.

·         Have a 5-minute exercise time before class begins.  No choreography necessary!  Just march and move to a powerful song, such as All Things Are Possible.

·         At the end of each 12-week class, the members receive a "remembrance stone." This has a real biblical significance. Some ladies have four stones in their little pouches.

Live It Tracker Idea

Margaret Wright

·         I realized how time consuming it was to collect everyone's Live-It-Tracker and go over them before the next meeting.  I decided to have a training session for the entire group as to what to look for, as well as how to encourage change and motivate each other. This is done very early in the meetings, the 2nd one to be exact. Then I would assign each person to have a Live It Tracker partner for the duration of the session. Each partner will exchange their tracker right after weighing in and just before the meeting starts. They get a few minutes to share with each other and even plan to touch base at some point during the week. I hope this idea could be used by other group leaders!
