Leadership Development
John Maxwell has written many books on leadership. The following classes are based
on his books. James & Michelle Teague are certified to coach, teach and speak on John
Maxwell’s programs.

Everyone Communicates, Few Connect
Based on the book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John Maxwell, the
principles of connecting with other people will be explored, and we will discuss the
relationship that effective communication has with leadership and influence. An
assessment will be used to determine your communication style and methods for
improvement. Michelle Teague, $35 tuition + $50 material fee, .4 CEUs
   JREX 0944-01 Friday, October 1, 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Becoming a Person of Influence
A person’s level of influence can increase by utilizing methods to interact positively with
others. Using the John Maxwell book, Becoming a Person of Influence, as the basis of the
class, we will discuss what influence is and what it is not, different types of influence, and
methods of increasing influence in a positive manner. James Teague, $19 tuition,
.25 CEUs
   JREX 6734-01 Monday, October 4, 6-8:30 p.m.

How to Be a R.E.A.L. Success
John Maxwell writes to be a REAL success, you need to develop the ability to work with
people. This includes being able to RELATE to others better as you understand relational
rules; EQUIP others with the proper skill sets; improve your ATTITUDE through daily
practice; and LEAD others successfully to where you have gone and beyond. Each session
will focus on a different aspect (Relate, Equip, Attitude, Lead) of being a REAL success.

Sometimes You Win - Sometimes You Learn
John Maxwell believes that any setback, whether professional or personal, can be turned
into a step forward when you possess the right tools to turn a loss into a gain. In his
book, Maxwell, using 50 years of leadership experience, provides a roadmap for winning
by examining the 11 elements that constitute the DNA of learners who succeed in the
face of problems, failure and losses. Michelle Teague, $25 tuition, .3 CEUs

What does it take to be a good leader? In his book, Leadership Gold, John Maxwell
shares valuable lessons from his many years of leading. The lessons that will be examined
include how to lead yourself, how to handle defining moments and criticism, ways to
stop working and get in the zone. In addition, we will discuss the real responsibilities of
leaders and how to become a leader people want to follow. The class will finish with a

15 Invaluable Laws of Growth
According to the principles in John Maxwell’s book, 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, to
achieve full potential, a person must grow, and this growth needs to be intentional.
We will examine two of the laws from the book. The Law of Pain examines how growth
comes from learning to manage bad situations. The Law of the Rubber Band looks at how
growth can only happen when individuals are willing to step outside of their comfort zone
and stretch themselves. James Teague, $19 tuition, .25 CEUs
