Lab Schedule
| Lab A | Friday | 10:30 am - 12:00 pm |
| Presenter | Topic | Description |
| Rusty Leonard | Is Everything Going To Be OK? | A review of the global economic and political landscape to help us understand what we might yet face during these difficult economic times. |
| Brian Ray | How To Find Jobs, Careers, Calling | More than half of the 150+ million people in the U.S. workforce are unemployed, underemployed, miserably employed, or nervously employed. How about you? Would you like to learn the 6 steps through crossroads in your career and how to maximize your career? |
| John Riley | The Crown Volunteer Revolution | From Passion to Purpose: This 90-minute lab will grow your understanding of Crown's volunteer structure and places to serve. Learn how to jump in, gain certification, access resources, and seek support to serve effectively. Leave equipped to talk to others about Crown and to recommend next steps to the individuals within your sphere of influence. |
| Jorge Molina | God's Answer For A Confused World | In a generation where knowledge is power and preparedness is fundamental, learn how to be helpless in God's hands, allowing Him to be the source of your competency. |
| Greg Holder | Why Shooting Our Wounded, Eating Our Young, And Gossiping About Everyone Else Simply Isn't An Option (And How We Can Do Something About It Right Now) | Okay, so it's a jungle out there. It seems like it's every man, woman, and dog for themselves. But why do Christians settle for this? What if the way we live and love and handle conflict and celebrate victories screamed something different to our world? What if how we functioned as teams somehow reflected the love of God? What if our skeptical and burned out friends were intrigued with the life and message of Jesus because of the way we treated each other? Join pastor and author Greg Holder as he unpacks a very important prayer of Jesus in a way you might not expect. |
| Ben Dailey | I Can See Clearly Now | Are things a little blurry in your world right now? Are you ready to gain a clear perspective on life? Your eyes are merely extensions of your heart. The condition of your heart governs the way you view your world. You don't see things as they are but as you are. As the attitude of your heart changes, the way you look at things also changes. The only way to correct your perspective is by having a transformation of heart. "I Can See Clearly Now" will help you gain a new perspective on life! |
| Dave Scobey | Presenter's Pointers | Become a more effective presenter. Learn the importance of "first words," the "carved bear principle," body posture and movement, gestures, vocal variation, vocal energy, eliminating idle words, facial expressions, dealing with questions, and more. This 90-minute lab will be an invaluable aid to help you in all of your future presentations in front of both large and small groups. |
