National Team Leader Development
The National Team Leader (NTL) sets the spiritual temperature and strategic direction for the national ministry, so investment in the initial training and ongoing development is essential. The National Team Leader Development content casts vision for this role and provides principles and practical content.
The National Team Leader (NTL) role is one of the most significant in our organization. It is challenging and rewarding and essential for building movements everywhere. The NTL Development content helps prepare leaders for this crucial role. A line leader can facilitate the modules in an event or coaching group, or NTLs can access the materials individually, choosing the most helpful for their specific needs.
