Writer's Learning Community:
Empowering the Writer Within
Special Opportunity!
Rich Weigel, President of CCNI, will be hosting a brand new Learning Community for writers. This is an opportunity for Christian Coaches who have felt that they are also called to write. This learning community will meet one time each month for a four month commitment. During those times the participants may be called upon to read their writing, talk about their writing project, discuss writing methodologies, or build a plan for their next writing idea. This group will be pushing each other to get more writing done and we will hold each other accountable.
During the first session we will review several ideas about writing, brainstorming, and how we want to build our work together. Our theme verse is: Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) - As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
We are looking for Christian Coaches who will make a multi-monthly commitment to this work because writing is not a one-and-done process, but an exploratory process where one idea builds on another and another. Great writing does not happen quickly, but it happens faster when a group of people build expectations and accountability for each other.
At each meeting we will have a voluntary coach and client for 20 minutes to talk about what that person is writing or wants to write. The other members of the learning community will listen and learn as we build our skills and writing prowess with each other.
The basic agenda for the first few meetings will be:
- Welcome and Prayer – 2 min.
- Rotation of Accomplishments – 5 min. o Readings – 10-15 min.
- Mini-Lesson on Writing – 10 min.
- Writer’s Coaching – 20 min.
- Coaching Reflection – 5 min.
- Dismiss – 1 min.
Purpose of this group:
- To support Christian Coaches who want to write.
- To build Christian writers to influence the culture.
Outcome:
We will encourage and push each other to new levels and improvements of our writing.
Who should participate:
Christian Coaches who are ready to write – right now.
Time and Date:
