LeadLab+

Next level leadership growth is essential, not optional

LeadLab+ builds on the foundation of the six-month LeadLab Growth Series, extending leader development into new opportunities for growth. Its services—workshops, personalized support, and practical resources—can be adapted to the needs of each field and integrated with existing initiatives. Whether used on their own or together, these offerings are designed to strengthen leaders and teams so the church’s mission can flourish in every context.

LeadLab Growth Series

1.0. The original six-month journey that transforms leaders and multiplies leadership capacity. For divisions and fields yet to experience it, LeadLab+ designs a customized program aligned with your priorities.

2.0 and beyond. After completing a GLI-led LeadLab Growth Series 1.0, we provide ongoing support to develop and launch your own leadership development initiatives: LeadLab 2.0.

LeadLab Workshop

When leaders face specific challenges, they don’t always need a full Growth Series—they need a focused space to learn, reflect, and act together. LeadLab Workshops use the same participatory process as the Growth Series but are custom-designed around the issues your field identifies, from engaging public officials to building resilient teams. These short, high-impact experiences help leaders gain fresh insight and practical skills right where they are most needed. These custom-developed workshops range from 2 days to 2 weeks. Example topics: include spiritual leadership, self-leadership, conflict management, team dynamics, innovation, and strategic alignment.

LeadLab Support

Personalized support to strengthen leaders and teams in critical moments:

  • Keynote speakers to enrich your leadership gatherings, online or in person.

  • Mentoring & coaching to accelerate growth and equip leaders for new responsibilities.

  • Facilitation to help boards and leadership teams move through conflict toward clarity and unity.

  • Program evaluation to ensure your initiatives deliver impact and align with field priorities.

LeadLab+ Resources

A growing collection of tools to sustain leadership growth globally:

  • A leadership book (in development) focused on growth and multiplication.

  • Digital resources—videos, podcasts, articles, and more—available worldwide.

  • Custom materials developed in collaboration with your field.

  • A global network of over 600 LeadLab alumni by 2026, connecting leaders across cultures and continents.

Why leader growth matters

The future vitality and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church depend on leaders who never stop growing—personally, spiritually, and in their ability to develop others.

In fast-growing regions, leadership multiplication is essential just to keep pace with the Spirit’s movement.

In secular contexts, leaders must cultivate new ways of reaching hearts that no longer assume faith is relevant.

Wherever the church is called, leaders who embrace growth unlock their God-given potential and empower those they serve to do the same. Without this, the church risks falling behind the opportunities God is opening, and a generation may pass unreached.
