Personal Vitality

If you are facilitating, click on one of the PDFs below to get notes for the session you are leading. If you are a participant, read the following and download the PVI Template for your use.

The Personal Vitality Indicator focuses on six key components of vital leadership:

1. Orientation — begin your journey (Download PDF)
2. Covenant — your connection to God and others (Download PDF)
3. Core — your motivation, identity, direction, and values (Download PDF)
4. Call — God’s call for your life (Download PDF)
5. Competencies — your passion, gifts, talents, and abilities (Download PDF)
6. Character — your personality, spiritual type, and worldview (Download PDF)

As you move through these sessions you will be invited to fill out the Personal Vitality Indicator (PVI). The PVI is a template that you will use to find your leadership quotient. This process will help you identify your greatest strengths and weaknesses. You will also begin to discern who you need to have in your leadership core that enhances, builds on, and adds onto your leadership quotient. Great leaders surround themselves with people who excell in key areas of congregational life. To live into this principle you first must spend some time discovering who you are as a leader as you share your insights, dilemmas, passions, and dreams with your incubator.
