One hundred percent of Pastors will stop Pastoring at some time. Whether by choice, circumstance or death, all Pastors will relinquish their positions. This is a simple statement of fact that is often glossed over by Pastors because of fear of mortality, failure to prepare, unrealistic timing, and lack of resources. There is a wave building-a tsunami coming-of Pastors who will exit the pulpit in the coming years. Are you prepared for your transition journey? Transition will occur either by default or design, and we at EXPAND want to help you design your transition with wisdom, honor, and clarity so that you can focus on the next thing God has in store for you. In focusing on design, we look at many foundational factors to build the process, including defining core values, developing a succinct communication plan, and navigating change. Tsunami is an introduction to how we think here at EXPAND and an idea of our guiding principles-with a leading emphasis on honor. We seek to convey honor for the church; honor for the present Pastor; honor for the succeeding Pastor; honor for the transitioning Pastor; honor for the Board; honor for the congregation; honor for the denomination, network, or association; honor for the community; honor for the past, present, and future; honor for those who have sacrificed much to bring the church to the present; honor for those who have given sacrificially; and honor for those who have volunteered and served the church.

"Over and over again, I've heard leaders in business, the church, and nonprofits tell me, "Sam, I can't wait until all this is over and we can return to normal." I completely understand this sentiment, but I gently and clearly inform them, "Yes, that would be wonderful, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen. Too much has changed for us to go back to the way things used to be. In fact, the very nature of change has changed We'll be living with it from now on." -Sam Chand_______________The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said change is the only constant in life. But the world has experienced so much upheaval since January 2020 that change itself has changed The pace of change was accelerating before...but the pandemic pressed the pedal to the floor. In Change Has Changed, leadership consultant Sam Chand sets out to help leaders understand the worldwide shifts that have occurred, the evolving nature of change, and solutions to the issues they are facing so that they can guide their organizations with wisdom and confidence.

El fil sofo griego Her clito dijo que el cambio es la nica constante en la vida. Pero el mundo ha experimentado tanta agitaci n desde enero de 2020 que el cambio en s mismo ha cambiado En los negocios, las iglesias y las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, los l deres han quedado hechos polvo a medida que los eventos y los desaf os pasan r pidamente. El ritmo del cambio se estaba acelerando antes... pero la pandemia presion el pedal a fondo. "Estamos en un punto de inflexi n", dice el arquitecto de liderazgo y estratega de cambio Sam Chand. "La forma en que eran las cosas no es la forma en que ser n las cosas". En su nuevo libro El cambio ha cambiado, Sam se propone ayudar a los l deres a comprender la naturaleza evolutiva del cambio para que puedan guiar a sus organizaciones con sabidur a y confianza. El autor examina tres cambios importantes que compara con tres terremotos simult neos: - Nuestro ambiente ha cambiado. La gente trabaja desde casa, es posible que muchos negocios nunca vuelvan a abrir, y la forma en que compramos, manejamos las necesidades de salud e incluso vamos a la iglesia ha cambiado. -Nosotros hemos cambiado. Hemos aprendido a vivir con una incertidumbre desenfrenada y una balsa llena de temores persistentes, pero nuestros cuerpos y nuestras almas no estaban hechos para esto - Las personas que nos rodean han cambiado. Est n frustradas, aisladas, deprimidas, ansiosas y enojadas. Simplemente no se sienten seguras. Sam enfrenta estos y otros problemas relacionados ofreciendo lecciones que capacitar n a los l deres a estar preparados para la pr xima normalidad. "Sol amos hablar de una nueva normalidad como si fuera el punto final del cambio", explica Sam, "pero si hemos aprendido algo en los ltimos meses, es que el cambio es perpetuo y tenemos que anticipar el pr ximo cambio en el horizonte". The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said change is the only constant in life. But the world has experienced so much upheaval since January 2020 that change itself has changed In business, the church, and nonprofits, leaders are being left in the dust as events and challenges speed by in a blur. The pace of change was accelerating before...but the pandemic pressed the pedal to the floor. "We're at an inflection point," says leadership architect and change strategist Sam Chand. "The way things were isn't the way things will be." In his new book Change Has Changed, Sam sets out to help leaders understand the evolving nature of change so that they can guide their organizations with wisdom and confidence. He examines three major shifts that he likens to three simultaneous earthquakes: Our environment has changed. People are working from home, many businesses may never reopen, and the way we shop, handle health needs, and even go to church has changed. We have changed. We've learned to live with rampant uncertainty and a raft full of nagging fears--but our bodies and our souls weren't meant for this The people around us have changed. They are frustrated, isolated, depressed, anxious, and angry. They just don't feel safe. Sam tackles these and related issues head-on by offering lessons that will empower leaders to be ready for the next normal. "We used to talk about a new normal as if it's the end point of change," Sam explains, "but if we've learned anything in the past months, it's that change is perpetual, and we need to anticipate the next one on the horizon."

Every one of us gets anywhere in life due to three things: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity...or not. Likewise, we do the same thing with others. People have played this essential role in our lives, and we play it in the lives of those around us--and no matter how skilled we've become, we can play it even better. The sequence applies in business, the church, marriages, parenting, and friendships. We often assess others in the blink of an eye. We instinctively notice the look on someone's face, the tone of voice, or the body language that's consistent or different from the words being spoken. We react to our observation, but we seldom stop to analyze before we respond--it just happens, and it happens immediately: we observe and have an opinion, and based on what we've determined in that second, we either give the person an opportunity to engage with us or we close the door and remain guarded. The Sequence to Success: Three O's That Will Take You Anywhere in Life is a leadership book, but it's not limited to corporate presidents, CEOs, or lead pastors; it's for everyone who has a position of influence in another person's life--and that includes all of us. In this book, Sam Chand brings our subconscious assumptions into the light. With more insight and confidence, you'll make better decisions to advance the people around you...or perhaps show them the door. These principles also help you become more conscious that people are observing you and forming opinions about you that will open or close doors of opportunity.

"Nuestros procesos de pensamiento son tan familiares, tan arraigados, que no podemos imaginar pensar de una manera nueva. Es como si nuestras mentes estuvieran ejecutando un software anticuado que es lento, con muchas fallas y que es improductivo, pero es todo lo que hemos conocido. Necesitamos actualizar el software en nuestras cabezas "- Sam Chand Algunas personas pensaban que estaban haciendo a Sam Chand "una oferta que no pod a rechazar" cuando lo invitaron a hablar en un evento de dos d as en el extranjero. Despu s de todo, estaban pagando por vuelos en primera clase y alojamiento tanto para Chand como para su esposa, adem s de pagar un generoso honorario. Pero l no aprovech la oportunidad. Chand tan solo estaba interesado en "el impacto existencial a largo plazo" en los asistentes. l pregunt " Todas las actividades me dar n la oportunidad de influir en personas influyentes? Puedo ser parte de una experiencia que deje una marca en el liderazgo, en lugar de tan solo un evento de liderazgo? ". En lugar de ganar dinero, Chand estaba interesado en construir relaciones. l estaba pensando de una manera diferente a como ellos pensaban. Chand se ala que nuestras percepciones y patrones de pensamiento determinan nuestras emociones, valores y creencias, lo que influye en c mo respondemos a las personas y los eventos. A veces, ni siquiera somos conscientes de las razones detr s de lo que decimos y hacemos, porque nuestras respuestas pueden estar arraigadas desde la infancia. Pero Chand cree que todos nosotros podemos tener una manera diferente de pensar que nos permita crear un nuevo futuro. l se ha propuesto ayudar a las personas a pensar m s all de los objetivos espec ficos, y considerar los objetivos y los resultados clave, desafiarse a s mismos, hacerse preguntas cruciales y "actualizar el software" en sus cabezas. A trav s de este libro, Chand espera ayudar a otros a "pensar de manera m s profunda, m s clara y m s productiva que nunca antes". Sam Chand te ofrece una manera de desafiarte a ti mismo, hacer preguntas cruciales y "actualizar el software" en tu cabeza, para desarrollar el pensamiento diferente que pueda crearte un nuevo futuro. "Our thought processes are so familiar, so ingrained, that we can't imagine thinking a new way. It's like our minds are running antiquated software that's slow, with lots of glitches, and is unproductive, but it's all we've ever known. We need to upgrade the software in our heads "--Sam Chand Some people thought they made Sam Chand "an offer he couldn't refuse" when they invited him to speak at a two-day event overseas. After all, they were paying for first-class travel and accommodations for both Chand and his wife, plus throwing in a generous honorarium. But he didn't jump at the opportunity. Chand was only interested in "the long-term, existential impact" on attendees. He asked, "Will every activity give me the opportunity to influence influencers? And can I be part of a leadership journey instead of just a leadership event?" Rather than monetary gain, Chand was interested in building relationships. He was thinking in a different way than they were. Chand notes that our perceptions and thinking patterns determine our emotions, values, and beliefs, influencing how we respond to people and events. Sometimes, we are not even aware of the reasons behind what we say and do because our responses may be ingrained from childhood. But Chand believes all of us can have New Thinking for a New Future. He has set out to help people move beyond specific goals and consider objectives and key results, challenge themselves, ask crucial questions, and "upgrade the software" in their heads. Through this book, Chand hopes to help others "think more deeply, more clearly, and more productively than ever before."

"La cultura, no la visi n o la estrategia, es el factor m s poderoso en cualquier organizaci n. Ella determina la receptividad del personal y de los voluntarios a nuevas ideas, desata o inhibe la creatividad, construye o erosiona el entusiasmo,

Culture Catalyst: Seven Strategies to Bring Positive Change to Your Organization "Culture--not vision or strategy--is the most powerful factor in any organization. It determines the receptivity of staff and volunteers to new ideas, unleashes or dampens creativity, builds or erodes enthusiasm, and creates a sense of pride or deep discouragement about working or being involved there. Ultimately, the culture of an organization--particularly in churches and nonprofit organizations, but also in any organization--shapes individual morale, teamwork, effectiveness, and outcomes." -from Chapter One Often, organizational leaders confuse culture with vision and strategy, but they are very different. Vision and strategy usually focus on products, services, and outcomes, but culture is about the people--an organization's most valuable asset. Culture Catalyst: Seven Strategies to Bring Positive Change to Your Organization offers a practical resource for discovering the deficits in an existing organization's culture, and includes the steps needed to assess, correct, and change culture from lackluster to vibrant and inspirational, so that it truly meets the needs of the organization. Prominent leadership consultant Sam Chand describes the five easily identifiable categories of organizational culture (Inspiring, Accepting, Stagnant, Discouraging, and Toxic), and includes diagnostic methods that leaders can use to identify the particular strengths and needs of their organization's culture. To help in this process, there is also a separate, free, online assessment tool (www.samchandculturesurvey.com). Once an organization's culture is clearly identified, leaders can put in place a strategy for applying the seven keys of CULTURE (Control, Understanding, Leadership, Trust, Unafraid, Responsive, and Execution) that will make their culture one that stimulates people to be and do their very best and ultimately reach their highest goals.
